I do believe that this year's Disease Du Jour may come down to the Survival of the Fittest.
This weekend the Family, minus Oldest Lad and Pennie, travelled to visit Grandma. Little Lad has not, as far as the family knows, been infected with the H1N1 virus. However, he did have a flu-like illness early last week that prevent him from attending school for the first day. Following Public School District Protocol, Mom kept Little Lad home until he was without fever for a full 24 hours. During the flu-like illness, and subsequently, the Little Lad has turned into a Mucus Monster. Pawsonally, I think of it as the "Jelly Donut Stage." Yes, there is nothing quite so tasty as the Jelly Donut delight of a face just at tongue licking level and then the squishy surprize of a fresh mucus kleenex.
Anyhoodle, while visiting Grandma; Grandma ate a plate of food that Little Lad was finished with, but had not "cleaned." Now certainly it is fine for us Dogs to "clean plates," but humans are NOT supposed to "clean plates" for fear of catching germs such as H1N1.
There is just nothing I, Mulligan, can do, about Humans who "Clean Plates," especially after Mucus Monsters. All the Paw washing in the world, sung to "Happy Birthday" twice, to take up the requisite 15 to 20 seconds, will not change that type of behavior. Darwin will have to decide.
