This question might sound stupid but I am extremely paranoid when it comes to Nova. So I know coffee is toxic and I keep it away from Nova. But today I had coffee and I spilled a bit on my hands. Nova started mouthing same hand. It was for like 30 sec till I realized and washed them immediately. they were dry but I hadn't washed them Will she be ok

There is no such thing as a stupid question! You are correct - coffee is toxic to dogs due to the caffeine present and potential for heart side effects. However, the minimal amount of dry coffee that Nova may have licked from your hands is negligible and will not cause any side effects. She should be perfectly fine! :-)
