Funny! I'm a big germ freak but there are some unsanitary practices that I still have, like sharing food with my pets! I have gotten better at NOT doing it as my germ-freak phobia has grown worse though! When I was a kid, my dog could lick/eat just about anything of mine, including ice cream. My Bengal cat likes to nibble food from my plate when I eat on the couch. I used to let her do it, but now I find it too gross and I just hurry to give her bits of food before she takes them. The Tonkinese is more polite. He'll just sit patiently eyeing what he wants until I pinch off a piece and give it to him. I do share bananas with my Quaker. I'll hold him and we each take turns eating bites of banana. I don't know what kind of germs a bird's mouth might have?
As for sharing food with people (Thor, you crack me up!), I don't mind sharing with the hubby. He and I share spit in other ways anyway!
If family and friends are NOT sick, I'll share a bite of food with them too. I guess for being a germ freak (I drive people NUTS!), I am pretty careless in some ways with germs, aren't I?!
