Malu Getting Eaten Out By A Dog
Okay, so maybe "eaten out" is a *slight* exaggeration. But hear me out! You know that feeling when your furry best friend showers you with so much love that you feel like you're being consumed by pure, unadulterated doggy affection? That's what I'm talking about!
My dog, Malu, a fluffy whirlwind of golden retriever energy, has this particular habit that I've lovingly (and somewhat dramatically) dubbed "Operation Clean Sweep." It usually happens after I've eaten something remotely delicious.
Imagine this: I'm lounging on the couch, savoring the last crumbs of a cookie, when I feel a wet nose nudging my hand. Next thing I know, Malu is on a mission to ensure that no rogue crumb escapes her attention.
The Art of the Lick
It's not just a simple lick, mind you. This is a full-blown, strategic cleaning operation. She starts with the perimeter, meticulously sweeping around my fingers and palms.
Then, if I'm not careful, she'll move on to the face. It's like a surprise spa treatment, only instead of cucumber slices, you get a face full of happy dog saliva. Honestly, it's kind of refreshing!
My friend, Sarah, calls it "pre-washing" the dishes, only I'm the dish. And Malu is the overly enthusiastic, slobbery dishwasher. It’s a win-win, really (maybe not for Sarah's sanity when she witnesses it!).
The "Malu Vacuum" in Action
The best part is when Malu spots a rogue crumb on my shirt. The focus she applies to extracting that single crumb is astounding! It's like watching a tiny, furry vacuum cleaner with a built-in GPS for snacks.
She’ll nudge, lick, and gently (and sometimes not-so-gently) nip until that crumb is officially eradicated from existence. I swear, she could be a forensic scientist in another life.
And the tail wags the whole time! It's like she's saying, "Don't worry, human! I've got this! No crumb shall be left behind!"
The Aftermath
Of course, the "eaten out" sensation isn't *actually* about being consumed. It’s about feeling utterly loved and adored. Malu's post-snack cleaning rituals always leave me grinning.
It’s a reminder that even the simplest things, like sharing a cookie with your dog, can be moments of pure joy. Plus, who needs a napkin when you have a dedicated canine clean-up crew?
Sometimes, I think she does it on purpose. Maybe she enjoys the taste of my hand lotion? Maybe she just loves the thrill of the crumb chase. Who knows?
Embrace the Slobber!
The point is, Malu's "eaten out" sessions are a reminder to embrace the silliness of life. To appreciate the unconditional love that dogs offer.
So, the next time your furry friend tries to "clean" your face after a meal, don't resist! Just close your eyes, enjoy the slobbery kisses, and know that you're loved beyond measure.
After all, who needs expensive spa treatments when you have a dog who thinks your face is the perfect canvas for a good, old-fashioned lick-a-thon? Consider it a free facial! You're welcome.
And remember, it's not *really* being eaten out. It's being loved out! Embrace the Malu vacuum!
