well - couldn't agree more with you! Our slogan here is that we live dirty
but happy! Now ofcouse we were both raised by parents who thought this as well -
I haven't got a single baby or toddler picture of myself where I am not sleeping
in the dog basket, sitting in the rabbit house eating out of their bowl or
otherwise jumping in cow pats..
Our only time off work is accident related ( generally horse accidents
although I recently managed to almost poke out my eye while pruning a vicious
bush in the garden hihi)
We've had people over to stay at our house who would insist on washing
their hands EVERY time they touched an animal - now with our horses, chickens
& irish wolfhounds that was basically all the time.. what a life ?!
I drink out of the horse water troughs as well - will share a sticky banana
with them each starting at one end and ending up in the middle ( well sort of) -
am happy to serve up crème brulée in a bowl recently used to feed the chicks.. (
after being in the dishwasher but that's also where I was all the bits &
stirrups hehe)
We are WAY more resistant to germs than a lot of people we know - don't
care about our appearance... so we can concentrate on the more important things
in life!
I draw the line though at wet irish wolfhound kisses in the face after
they've been licking the roosting bars in the chicken coop ( hé mum,
lollipops!)
