I feel where you are coming from. I wouldn’t purposefully let my dog lick from our plates but let me ask you this: would you throw away a plate if your dog got to it while it was on a coffee table or would you wash it up and keep it moving?
I grew up filling the dogs bowl in the kitchen sink. My husband about lost his mind catching me do that! If he really thought I was going to go the hose outside every time he was sadly mistaken! Lol. Different strokes! I think on that one she can compromise and serve the dog in their bowl!

If I had a dog I would 100% let it lick the bowl. 
It’s gonna be washed. Is that not the purpose of soap, to clean things?

It’s cultural differences. WP think animals are people for some odd reason. I’ve always let my dogs get into my bed and on the couch. When I click with another black person, its normally a joke “can the dog be on the bed?!?!”. I’ve always dished the leftovers into the dogs dish. She’s lazy and if she’s lazy, she’s probably nasty.

Well it’s going to be clean again after you wash it
What’s the big deal? It’s going to be washed. I’ve been known to share a spoon full of something with a dog. I turned out just fine
You’re washing it, so why does it matter?
Do you eat at restaurants? Someone you don’t know ate off your plate, used that fork and drank from your cup?

Dogs are like a pre wash cycle If you’re washing your dishes right, the dog spit will be washed off lol

I feel you might be overreacting. If dishes go through the wash to be clean enough for us to eat out of them again I feel this is the same. Shit I don’t wash my dishes soon enough they get all nasty in the sink…put them in the dishwasher and tadaaaa clean. I eat out of it again. I don’t see how a dog licking it first is different BUT I do have 4 dogs and 3 cats and most of everything I own is shared with them in one way or another honestly.

I’m native… and I’m with you. Our dogs even have their own towels for when they take baths. I will wash their bowls outside. And if someone uses a regular bowl to give them water, that bowl is now a dog bowl

Honestly I have the same background. Black household, white partner. And he’s constantly using human bowls for our kitty. Once the fur baby kicks the bowl, it’s out of rotation for humans. I get PO’d if I even see the dish in the dishwasher.
That being said, a dog’s mouth is technically cleaner than a human’s. It’s just the ingrained notion that you are eating out of what is now a pet bowl.

I mean if she let the dog lick it clean and put it up yeah lol
Some people don’t mind it. Some will even let their animals eat off their silverware as they are eating. Also feeding them from their plates each bit.
IMO it’s nasty! Animals have there own food and dishes. No way I’m letting them eat off my plate while eating. To each their own

I wouldn’t like it either and would probably end up binning the thing it licked but some people think it’s acceptable so there’s no right or wrong way it’s about personal preference
Its gunna get washes anyways, i always let the pets i have had eat out the bowls before they get washes, no harm done
I do it. My dog always asked if I washed the bowl good. After all he saw me eat out of it yesterday.
How is that gross? He is licking the left over food. I am confused 
Nope, not overreacting. I wouldn’t allow that either.
Washed are not idc nope notta!
That is disgusting but looking at these comments I guess the differences in responses is cultural.

My boyfriend lets the dog lick his bowl and plate when he’s done. And then they go in the dishwasher. And then we eat off of it again. who cares.
My dogs do. I always use a little bit of bleach in my dish water anyways
It’s a matter of opinion. I won’t let Mt dog luck my face or mouth but she gets the last bite from my bowl or plate sometimes. Dishes get washed
Have you seen some of society? They eat out of the dishes you eat out of at restaurants. I’d rather eat out of a dish that a dog licked out of.

If you use the real hot water in your dishwasher setting, no germs could live through that. However, it wouldn’t hurt to have pet-designated eating utensils, etc.

Obviously you two are very different with regard to this issue. You can respect the differences. I understand your point as I am a black woman and it was deemed gross in our home as well. Ive grown to understand just because it was frowned upon in my house doesnt mean its a bad thing in someone else’s home.
I would never let my dog eat off my dishes. They have dog dishes.
It is SO gross …but its her dog and she will wash the dish ,so…
My grandparents dog licked bowls, my dog licks bowls, my stepdads dog licks bowls. Its fine, but if you are uncomfortable with it dont let them
But y’all okay with eating 
??? Hmm alrighty then
