Out, out, damned spot!

I have a dog.

His name is NOT "spot", but it does sort of apply.

Have you ever had a Golden Retriever lick you? For some reason, and I don't know if it is unique to the breed, when they are done licking you are not all slobbered up and yucky! It's clean and fairly dry.

Now... we won't go into all the things that a dog will lick.... definitely!

Danny (my dog) licks lots of things. He will lick up cat food barf off the carpet and he does as good a job as my "spot cleaner". Pretty nifty.

Surprisingly, he is also good on upholstery! He will sit in my lap (that in itself is another story as he is a BIG dog) on my favorite chair. It's a big Lazy Boy recliner. The fabric on the ends of the arms gets sweat and yuck from my hands. I tried my nifty electric "green machine" to clean them with upholstery cleaner and it worked fairly well.
Then... one time Danny started licking the chair arm... I have no idea what the flavor was, but the chair arm ended up clean and only very slightly damp. Less damp even than when I used the upholstery cleaner!

This is about the strangest and most unexpected thing about my dog so far. I am sure there are more surprises in store. As surprises go, this was fairly benign. Slightly gross, but... works for me and and dog and the cats don't seem to care so...
