First, it's really strange behavior. You could gently talk to your wife about the potential hygiene issues. Maybe she doesn't realize that the dog's mouth can carry bacteria. For example, dogs may have licked dirty things before and then lick the stories which might contaminate them.
If it's a misunderstanding and by'stories' you mean something like a book of stories, you should firmly tell her that it's not okay as it can damage the book. Just say 'Honey, the dog might ruin the stories book by licking it.'
Perhaps you could also consider training the dog not to do such things around things that are important or belong to your wife. You can use positive reinforcement, like giving the dog a treat when it stays away from the stories.
You should immediately stop the situation if it's happening at that moment. After that, educate your wife about the possible diseases that can be transmitted through such contact. It could be something like salmonella or other infections. Also, make sure the dog has regular vet check - ups to ensure it's healthy and clean.
This is a rather concerning situation. First, you should have an open and honest conversation with your wife. Ask her why she allowed this to happen and express your discomfort. Then, also talk to your roommate and make it clear that such behavior is inappropriate in your view.
Well, it's not a very hygienic behavior. You could gently tell your mom that it might carry germs and it's not good for her health. Maybe suggest she wash her feet right away.
No, it's not safe. A dog's mouth contains a lot of bacteria which can cause infections in humans. Even if the dog seems healthy, it can still carry harmful microorganisms.
No, it's not normal. Stories are likely something to be read and cherished, not licked by a dog. There could be a misunderstanding in what she is actually doing.
It can be normal in some cases. Dogs often show affection by licking. But it's also important to consider your wife's comfort and any potential health risks. If your wife doesn't like it or is at risk of an allergic reaction, then it's not really acceptable behavior from the dog.
You could try to get to know the friend better. If your wife has let this black friend stay over, it might be because she trusts this person. By getting to know the friend, you may find that you have no real reason to be worried. It could be a chance to build new friendships and show hospitality.
She should immediately confront her husband and express her discomfort and anger. She has the right to demand an explanation and make it clear that this behavior is unacceptable.
You could try to keep the dog out of the bedroom when your wife is sleeping. If the dog has a habit of getting close to people while they're sleeping, it might be because it's seeking attention or is curious. You can provide the dog with enough exercise and toys during the day so that it's less likely to bother your sleeping wife.
You should firmly refuse. It's not right behavior. Then have an honest conversation with your friend about how inappropriate this is.
