Doggie kisses

A new study was recently released that suggests that kids who grow up with pets are healthier.  The idea is that pets bring in more dirt and such and build up children's immune systems....or maybe they just get licked directly in the face by their pets.  Either way, now when my house isn't as clean as it should be, I can just claim that I'm doing my part to make my kids healthier by building up their immune systems.  Oh, the things I do for the sake of good parenting.
