When I was a kid I remember playing with dogs but I don't know whether I did touch it or not and if its fur or saliva got onto me. Am I to be considered in a major state of impurity? Is everything I touched during the years impure?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala,

When you were a kid, you were not mukallaf, so completely dismiss all that time, and don't ponder on it. 

And Allah knows best. 
If a married couple have become impure, and they don't want to do Ghusl for health or such reason, is it permissible to extend offering Salah until such a time that only Tayammum remains possible?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

Looking at this example, the reason to avoid ghusl is for aesthetic reasons, so as to avoid loss of hair, due to excessive ghusls per day.

The couple can cut down on what leads to ghusl, and prioritise their 'ibadah and make sure their relationship with Almighty God is always stronger than their lust. 

Intimacy is very good, but not such that it makes one think in this kind of a way, and deliberately miss out on prayer. 

Ghusl should not take more than 2 minutes, all together, and not that much water as well. Therefore, if the couple do have a fear of hair loss, minimising the shower time is good option. It is also mentioned that cold water is good for hair. 

And Allah knows best
When small drops bounce off an impure object while purifying it under a tap connected to Kurr water and fall on our clothes, are these drops considered pure?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If Kurr water or tab water was running on it, it is then not Najis unless it is the Najis material itself like blood.

Wassalam.
If I get a guard dog and it enters my home, does my home become impure?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It is allowed to have a guarding dog but if it touches any item with wetness, that item will become Najis.

'Wassalam.
