Tanker Slobber


When I have some kind of goo on my pants, just above my right knee, I know it's Tanker slobber. You see, my daughter adopted a Pit-Bull-like dog from the pound and named him Tanker. He is missing part of his face -- mostly the upper lip on his left side.

When he drinks water, it squirts out the left side of his face, up to two feet away. So he has a constant slobber thing going on. Because that side of his face and chest is always wet, when he eats dog food, bits of it stick to his neck in a gooey, crusty mess. Shelli, my daughter, has taken to keeping a little towel with her to wipe him before he nuzzles her. I, on the other hand, don't think about it until I notice all the slobber goo on my pants knee. And then it's too late.
