AIBU to eat it?

[Jinty64]

I just dropped the last apple. It rolled across the kitchen floor into the utility room and was promptly picked up and returned to me by the dog (well he is trained to retrieve). He has not punctured the skin so I have given it a good wash and plan to eat it. Ds3 (7) is horrified. He's being precious isn't he?

I'm with your DS here

If not punctured then im with you op yanbu.

I'm not a dog person, so I wouldn't eat it but I have shared marmite on toast with my cat doubt it'll do much harm though if you've given it a quick rinse - go for it.

YANBU....but....when you are eating it, just try and think what the last thing (or things) the dog licked

Of course, you COULD peel it!
I wonder if the dogs mouth is any dirtier than the bottom of your shopping trolley - that has had kids trampling over it in their shoes

If washing things doesn't make them clean then we'd have to have disposable plates, cutlery and pans etc

I'd swill it and eat it but then I have to confess I am a bit of a minger.

YABU but not because of the dog. Because you dropped it and there is NOTHING WORSE than a bruised apple.

A bird might have pood on it while it was hanging on the tree you know.

Yeah, I'd eat it.

I eat all sorts. Nothings damaged me yet.

You shouldn't have washed it, it's better for your immune system if you drop apples on the floor before eating them.

Dog almost definitely not a Labrador. Mine would have scoffed it pronto.

I've eaten it!

It did have a bash SourSweets but tasted fine. He is a Labrador LaGuardia but I think he was slightly shocked by the unusual event.
