Grab a cup of coffee, sit a spell, and tell us about the latest antics of your spotted dogs.
You should vacuum the vent tubing also.

I take the hose to my cansiter vacuum and stuff it up the tube and sweep it out too. You would be surprised just how much lint and dog hair can accumulate it. Also when you are cleaning out your dryer if you can pull the top off be sure to check out the outer part of the dryer drum.
Lint can sometimes collect on it. A dryer repairman told me that. I clean mine completely, inside and out about once every 6 months.
