All my life I've had all sorts of pets. At the moment I have a husband, a
10 year old girl, a lab x, 2 cats, a budgie, and assorted goldfish. All of
which are allowed to 'clean' the plates (although usually the goldfish and
budgie don't!). I couldn't imagine it any other way, they're all family! I
try to keep the house clean, and I vacuum and wash the floors almost very
day, but I know there is going to be germs around, and there's not much I
can do about it. I like to look at it another way - we've probably all got
very good resistance to lots of things!!.
