Editing out bad features in a dog portrait

[Ben_...@adobeforums.com]

Hello forum,
I have a single picture of my chocolate labrador. I've done my color correction in Aperture and resizing in Photoshop. The photo is a 3.3 Megapixel (2048 x 1536) from my digital camera. I cropped it down in Aperture and then brought the image into Photoshop to do a Image Resize. I then resized my image to 800 x 675.

So far my photograph looks terrific and have progressed my image into something that looks really nice. But I have one issue that's really making my head spin.

Under my puppy's eye, you can see she has 'eye-boogies'. They are directly beneath them. I do not like this look at all and have a feeling it can be improved using Photoshop.

So... Is there a way to remove these 'eye-boogies' from my image using Photoshop?

I do not want it too look too digitalized. I want to make it look as natural as possible and as close as I can for them to not look like they were ever there in the first place.

Is this even possible? Or am I just dreaming?
Any tips would be appriciated. Thanks.

Healing brush will wipe away any remnant of them forever. thats pretty easy considering some of the problems one sees around here.

I would do all my editing on the original size photo then reduce the size as a last step.

yes use the healing brush
