my friend used the term snotted for when the dog wiped its nose on a pillow and I know there is a term for that.

It is called "verbizing" and the truth is there is no noun that can't be verbized.

A form of a verb ending in ING and used as a noun is a gerund.
Adding a suffix '-ed' to a noun when spoken is using slang.
