I can't see out. . . can you see In?

Do you have a dog? Does it lick your windows and your sliding glass doors? How are the back windows of your vehicle? Does it match the house windows?

It's disgusting to try and look out at the yard and peer through layers of nasty slopper; gooped upon the inside and the outside of the door. It's one of those endless chores to try and keep the slimy spittle off. I can wipe it clean, then close the screen door to prevent direct contact, but the dog sits there and spits through the screen barrier or  mashes it up to the glass with his snotty nose and licks both.

Check out window and door licking on the internet . There are thousands of photos of just about every warm blooded...and a few cold as well...licking the glass.

What is the draw to licking the door? A silent plea to let the creature in or out? Most of the time, Captain's licking is mindless. Leaning against the glass and just smoothing it out with that tongue. He appears bored until he see's me and then smiling at me as if the rhythmic laps beckoned me to open the door.  Too bad Captain's tongue isn't covered in Windex and a Brillo sponge!

Such a tasty windowIf the window is dirty, then I'm looking through cloudy film and mud crusts. Equally disgusting. I know people who have just given up cleaning the sliders completely, incorporating the sludge smears into the general décor. Can you blame them? It's as cyclic as trying to keep the toothpaste splatters off the bathroom mirrors .

It's bad enough to have a dog licking the doors and windows, but now the cat has joined in, adding paw prints to the lick lines,  higher than is naturally possible. The Cat paw prints smear upward toward the ceiling. He must get a long running jump to accomplish this, but to ensure they leave their mark, Ensign licks his feet before running up the sliding glass door.

Today, I have just wiped the front window clean, left the room for more towel and return to see both creatures sitting there licking the window in unison. Now I know it's a pet conspiracy. 
Arming myself with another bottle of pure ammonia and ready to battle the licks again! Not sure I should bother.  I can't see out, so can anyone see in?
