See that white spot on my head? No, not that one – the other one. The one above my eye. It’s not supposed to be there.
Here’s what happened.
I was walking along my trails, minding my own business when all of a sudden these three dogs come running toward me. And all three of them decided they were going to come over and check me out. They were friendly enough alright, and I sniffed noses back. What else could I do with my person holding me on a short leash? But then one of them, the one that looks like my friend Alfie, decided he was going to kiss me. Really slobbery kisses. No offense Alfie, but if we ever meet on my trails I’m cool with sniffing, but don’t ever kiss me.
Well, I had to give that Alfie look alike what for and I started barking at him. That got all three of my new friends to back off. Guess I told them.
Now I’ve just got to figure out what to do about this stuff all over my head. Eeew! Dog slobber!

I am curious now … What if a female dog had kissed you?

Sweet Kitten, I guess I might have to get used to that slobber thing.

Heehee–Gertie sometimes looks like that after a raucous play session with Duke. And sometimes after doggie daycare too, but I don’t think she minds. This is kind of off the subject, but I love the name Alfie for a dog!

Andrea, you mean other dogs get slobbered on too? I thought I was the only one. Maybe I should share my slobber with some of my friends.

My best pal, Stella, slobbers on me all the time. I don’t mind it.
Bongo

Lola, I guess maybe it would be different if that dog was a good friend. I’m not sure though. I’ve never had a slobbery dog friend before – and I usually only slobber on cute girls.

Bassetmomma, I like it much better when I’m giving it out, but I don’t like getting it back.

Teresa, the best part of having slobber on my head is that I can rub it off on someone else.

Snoopy, no bath – but my person was threatening to. It seems like all the unleashed dogs on my trails like to come over and greet me, but none of them has ever kissed me before.

*giggles* I thought it was bird poop, so I guess slobber is a step up!

Rumpy, I guess slobber is a step up when you put it that way. My person says she has been with two different people when bird poop landed on their heads.

I’m the only slobbering slobberer around here. Sometimes, there’s a puddle of slobber on the floor if Mom makes me wait too long for a cookie. Maybe your Person can wipe your head with a wet paper towel. Whenever Mom does that to me (every day!), I act like she’s killing me, but secretly, it feels GREAT!
Love and ….sniffs,

Cupcake, I do that slobbering thing on the floor too, but I don’t think the floor gets very upset about being slobbered on. When we got home my person did wipe the slobber off with a paper towel.

Bongo tell your person to keep baby wipes handy for such sticky encounters. They’re cheaper than dog wipes and work just as well.

Sandra, my person doesn’t usually carry much with her on our walks – but she did clean me up a little when we got home.

Hi Rusty, nice to meet you too. No other dogs at my house to slobber on me – just a cat and fortunately he doesn’t slobber. His claws can be pretty nasty though. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I’ll send my person your way too.

February 1, 2012 at 8:10 pm
I agree with Rumpy . . . at least it wasn’t bird poop! That would be way more disgusting especially if it came from a big bird like a vulture or something. Maybe you should practice the cool art of spitting. Give them dogs a good splat everywhere! 🙂
Bongo
February 1, 2012 at 8:27 pm
Sunshine, now I’m hoping I see those dogs again so I can give the slobber back.

February 2, 2012 at 6:11 pm
Kevin, I’m not sure I want to be popular if it means slobbery kisses from total strangers. Maybe my person knows what she’s doing when she tries to keep me away from other dogs. I do like the sniffing noses part.

Wow! Sweet Bongo that was one big slobbery kiss. It’s gettin’ pretty bad when you may have to start carrying a blow dryer on your walk. Maybe if you run real fast all that slobber will blow off. You are just so cute and sweet you gotta expect a slobbery kiss at least ever now and then. Hugs and nose kisses
Bongo
February 2, 2012 at 6:14 pm
Chancy and Mumsy, I think my person is just going to have to keep a blow dryer with her all the time. First, I could have use one after swimming and now for the slobbery kisses. Hugs and nose kisses back to you.

Ewww. Stranger’s slobber. That’s one good reason my person wears jeans just the right length to rub stuff off on….like having one of those paper towel dispensers for dogs…only it’s not paper or disposable. Be on the watch next time, Bongo and slobber first?

Newfs don’t usually slobber on other dogs just us people, lucky huh (not). We always carry a slobber tag to wipe mouths everywhere so they meet others with a dry mouth!!

Tylers, I’m like the newfs – I only slobber on people. This was the first time I met a dog who slobbered on other dogs.
