There has been a meme floating around that asks the question, “So you think we are smarter as a society than we used to be?”
The response:
“50 years ago, the owners manual for a new car told you how to adjust the valves in the engine, while today’s tell you not to drink the liquid found in the car battery.”
Yup, progress.
The meme below may be in jest, but hey, you never know.
In our family, we have done it the old fashioned way for a few generations and when “Baby Peace” hits the world in November, he will have to deal with both Martha and Winnie getting up close and personal.
Meanwhile, Theodore gets his face cleaned by Selby.
All is well with the world.
(Now, I am sure there may be some readers who think this isn’t a good practice. Well, maybe you are right. . . but maybe not. I think of it as a new spin on “herd immunity”)
Mitigating Chaos 
Much depends on a person’s immune system, they say. I’ve seen my grand dog chow down on dead mice, flies, grasshoppers – and moose and deer turds. She licks her butt end. She gets regular treatment for worms, fleas and ticks. So, no way is she licking my face!
