Am I alone? I sometimes give my dog a quick kiss between the eyes. Am I wrong?

Nah, if your dog likes it there’s nothing better. Miss the biscuity top of my girl’s head.

JKScot4 · 15/01/2020 10:06

Not all, I kiss mine and on their nose 🥰🐶

BorissGiantJohnson · 15/01/2020 10:07

Dogs are awesome. I'd rather kiss my dog than any man tbh. Except Jason Momoa, obviously.

Tinkerbell456 · 15/01/2020 10:22

Hmmm.....Jason lovely obviously. Bit more of a James Purefoy gal, but there ya go.

Dogs were specifically out on earth to be kissed, well, that and pulling their silky floppy ears (gently obvs)

willothewispa · 15/01/2020 10:26

Eww, it's gross if you let it extend to the dog licking your face bu5 otherwise whatever suits you.

CaptainCabinets · 15/01/2020 10:27

All over his little face! I particularly love kissing his little warm nose Grin

Whynosnowyet · 15/01/2020 10:27

My ddogs are trained to give kisses!!
Always reciprocated of course!!

Monkeynuts18 · 15/01/2020 10:30

I love kissing the top of his silky soft head ❤️

Temp123999 · 15/01/2020 10:31

Can't think of anything worse than kissing a did it's not called "dog breath" for nothing🤮

Rubyupbeat · 15/01/2020 10:31

I always kiss mine, on the head, between their eyes, soft as silk, also love their digestive biscuit smelling feet.

Spidey66 · 15/01/2020 10:31

I kiss my dog more than I kiss my husband.

She kisses me too (well licks my face....canine equivalent.)

I tell her I love her several times a day.

We don't have kids. She's our baby substitute.

Lailaha · 15/01/2020 10:32

Just don't let him kiss you back - dogs do you that lucking-your-face thing (if you let them) to stimulate you regurgitating food for them, not as a sign of affection Grin

Itsallgonewoowoo · 15/01/2020 10:33

Kiss them and smell their feet. Mmmmmmm

Rubyupbeat · 15/01/2020 10:35

@Temp123999
My dogs don't have bad breath, they have a healthy diet and perfect teeth. Just like people, bad diet and poor dental hygiene causes bad breath.

elQuintoConyo · 15/01/2020 10:37

Only on her head, I don't go near her nose 😷 I know where it's been!

She gets kisses and ear tickles ALL DAY Grin

ChocChipWookie · 15/01/2020 10:37

When we had our pup he was a little swine who constantly poked his snout through the crate bars rubbing. Consequently he had a slight bald spot there, right between the eyes. This was the spot he was always kissed on and became known as his 'kissy bit'.

JKScot4 · 15/01/2020 10:38

@Lailaha
That’s a new one. Licking is pleasurable for dogs and releases endorphins, hence why it’s regarded as affectionate.
People thinking it’s horrible maybe have a think about what you put in your mouth 😉

Heihei · 15/01/2020 10:39

I kiss my dog all the time! And I tell her she’s gorgeous. She’s so cuddly and loving and I can’t resist giving her a hug and kisses on her head. She also puts her front paws on my shoulders and hugs me back. @Itsallgonewoowoo I totally agree about sniffing her paws, heaven!

Lailaha · 15/01/2020 10:41

@JKScot4 not really new - it's what puppies do to their mothers to stimulate the regurgitation reflex.

General licking is endorphins and affection - licking round the mouth isn't!

Hoppinggreen · 15/01/2020 10:41

I (and ddog) love it when I hold his head in my hands, ruffle his ears while kissing his forehead and telling him he’s the best most handsome boy in the world and I love him lots

Sausagewrole · 15/01/2020 10:45

Hoppinggreen, I do exactly the same thing! My boy is the most handsomest dog in the world (in my eyes!) and I tell him so before planting a kiss on the top of his head.

3rdchristmaslucky · 15/01/2020 10:48

Wish I had a dog to kiss.
Always get my cat right between the ears. Which she hates, of course.

Temp123999 · 15/01/2020 10:50

@JKScot4
Think what you dog puts in it's mouth,
I know exactly what I put in my mouth and it's all good!!

Whitegrenache · 15/01/2020 10:52

I love kissing my DLabs and also kissing my horses velvet nose and snuggling into her neck and breathing in her smell.

I also love smelling DLabs feet!!
