Hey all:

Just my 2 cents. I have read that dogs have more (enzymes?) or more stuff in their saliva that fights off germs, infections, etc. This is why they lick their wounds. I could be wrong...im no expert...When's the last time anyone heard of a dog getting sick from sniffin around outside? My advice sweetlychee is to watch him of course but I would recommend not getting too worked up or worried about it. We all worry about our dogs and want them to be safe (they're our babies

) but dogs are smart too...especially Corgis...in my own humble opinion. Check the area for anything and watch your baby and you will both be fine. Dogs are far more resilient to disease than we realize. MILO is BEAUTIFUL BTW!

Good luck and blessings
