I can live with germs, but I don't know how any of you live with babies.

heh. you obviously dont/wont have dogs either then. the only variant from that description is (most) dogs dont wear pants.

although some are seen in the occasional colorful shirt.

On the other hand, most canine diseases do not jump the species barrier. I could catch pretty much anything a baby has (though, seriously, I'm not in the least a germophobe; I assume I'll die of something so if licking a public restroom floor looked like fun I'd give it a go; fortunately for my immune system it doesn't look like much fun).

My only problem with germ prevention efforts is how irrationally inconsistent many people are about them. And how little understanding they have of the true risks so that they can make informed decisions (a lot of people seem to assume that germs can instantly transport themselves to anything within line of sight).

I have cats. They use a litter box. Barely. They like to use it, and then they like to kick dirty litter all over the bathroom floor, the hallway, my living room. They then like to jump on my kitchen counters, which I DO thoroughly clean before using. So, poopy paws all over my house. But at least they pretend at being "toilet" trained.
