- I don't know if this counts -- my Malamute puppy will take my used tea bags
- and eat them if I don't put them some place safe. She'll try to get them
- from the trash if the trash isn't covered.

- It is a myth that dogs have less germs than humans. (I learned that while
- working for a vet). One of the major problems we had were people who thought
- that the dog was doing good by licking its wounds (actually they would get
- infected because of this!). Of course, in the wild, this is probably better
- than having dirt ground into the wound, but with sterile bandages and
- aseptic types of treatments, licking just cause problems. As for your
- tea mug, I wouldn't worry about it if you run it through the dishwasher. It
- sanitizes most things.

- Happy Holidays!
