My golden retriever is wonderful. I rarely pet him after my surgery because I have open wounds. I love him dearly, but he is a little germy, and I fear infection.
He gets lots of love from my husband and daughter, but I feel guilty.
The beauty of him is, as I write this, he lays at my feet. He's just happy to be near me.
Dogs are the best people.

Janet. Dogs lick their butts and wenee's. They eat dead and rotted things, bugs...etc. The list goes on. Their mouths are hardly clean. Ask a vet. It's just an ol' wives tale that it's clean. lol
Your doggy knows that you're not feeling well right now.
Animals sense these things. And, my hubby is living proof.
Our cat sweety, not known for her over affection, stayed by my hubby's bed side for months.
My hubby always joked and said, "What, am I dying?"
Well, it turns out he wasn't further from the truth.
He finally got himself to the doctor when he couldn't breathe.
And, lo and behold, if he hadn't went, he never would have got the blood test, and he never would have known his blood count was so low.
Our cat tried to tell him, she knew he was sick.
But, we didn't truly get it, until his doc told him to into the hospital.
And, now after he's now home and well..
We know the next time, she comes to lay beside him in bed, that he had better get himself to the doctor quick.

Janet's right. I get mosquito bites on my legs and my poodle gives me what I affectionately call "therapy" on those bites. He licks them until they quit itching and they rarely ever get all red and scabby. He's my little guy! So, when you say that you went and licked your wounds, I think it's where it came from. Isn't it odd that dog spelled backwards spells God? And the dog actually does have unconditional love. I don't think that's by accident.
Every night after going to bed I hold my wife's hand for a while and pet the dog with the other until I am relaxed and ready for sleep. Wolfen will sence that it it time and lay down.
Before anyone asks yes I kiss my wife good night but not the dog.

I'd rather kiss a dog. Their unconditional love could teach people a lot.
