Out of our two jackies, one is happy to be crawled over, the other not so happy. Think it all comes down to supervision. Our most tense time was when DS1 was starting to walk and pull himself up on things - he scared the older (now-5yo male) dog a couple of times and got snapped at. Other than scaring the crap out of DS1, and us, no damage was done and we took "supervision" to a whole new level! There's no issue now.

Our 3yo female dog (for the record, both dogs are "fixed" up) is much more easy going though she doesn't appreciate her ears being pulled. It all depends on the dog's temperament, and it sounds like you've got a sweetie.

Olive - I don't disagree with you about what a dog has licked, but when you have an inside dog and it's part of the family, I think it's impossible to stop any and all licks - sometimes your back has to be turned for 10 seconds . They've all got to learn to get along and respect each other as part of the family. Teaching a child hygiene is obviously part of the mix when you have a dog .
