Several authorities forbid washing on the Ninth of Av, and many of those same authorities often require one to sit on the floor or a low stool during that evening and morning. However, I own a dog and it likes to kiss [lick] me extensively, as dogs tend to do. Could this be considered washing? Is it even worse to sit on a low chair if the dog is more likely to kiss me when I am closer to the ground?

    Several authorities? I didn't know anyone permitted washing.

    (Serious question) Do you feel cleaner after s/he slobbers all over you?

    If the question were, "May I wash gross doggy slobber off of my hands and face after getting "kissed" by my dog," I'd give it a +1.
