Adventures In Dog Ownership
Mon Mar 20 2006

Guess what Sunny found out in the fields today?



It was wonderful.



I could not believe it when she came running up to me with it.


[album 65561 Stinky Sunny2.JPG]


Her very own, freshly gathered Eau du Pee-you.

Odiferous Canine.

When we got home, an odd feeling came over me as I was giving her a cold water outdoor bath.

She seemed quite calm. Didn't even mind when I sprayed water in her ear by mistake. Like this has happened before.

MANY times before.

I wonder what else I don't know about this dog's past?

Excuse me, I have to go soak her leash and collar in industrial strength cleaners of some sort.

    Isn't that just the best sleep that you get when you've had alot of fresh air? I do love that sleep! :) I also need to turn over a new leaf. Going to give that lots of serious thought in the near future....

    I wonder if spring is *ever* going to get here. In fact, in addition to the calendar reading. I am heartily sick of the gloom and wet.

    I enjoyed yesterday. Thanks for the invite.

    Watch the Dog Whisper on Nat G he is the best I have ever seen on Training dogs. Just ordered third tank of heatig oil as this winter has been burtal. I might add the price has doubled which makes it worse.
    This country had better wake up for we are so in dept our grand chrildren will still be paying and seems no end to it.

    I will never understand the delight dogs find in the stinky substances they find to roll in. Perhaps that's why I'm human and not dog!

    If this does end up being something that causes frequent bathing for her, you might consider switching to Murphy's Oil Soap for her shampoo rather than doggy shampoo. Smells better, conditions their coat, kills fleas and is much less expensive!

    Can you imagine Griffen/Hamlet rolling around it "eau de Pee-You"? That's why I prefer living with cats.

    Shelby gets Murphied about once a week with the things she finds to get into. She found something a couple weeks ago that was so bad that she really probably should have been nuked from a high orbit to get the stench out from her coat, but Murphy's did the trick just fine up in the bath tub!

    Cannine doggy perfume. Oh yea !!
    If you have a skunk affair as my Sam had for killing everyone he found I found to answer from a Comsurmers Reports
    fix.
    Wet dog -Rubber gloves ,add 1 pint of Huygrogen proxcide with a box Baking Soda, a spoonfull of shampoo. Scrub dog good let stand a few minutes and rinse off. Presto nice sweet smelling dog.
    It even works on humans as I can attest.
    Sam had a kritter cornnered in my garage making a rucus in middle of night so off I went to check for we had a COON problem and Opossme that caused a weekly rucus. Sam was on POINT by my Lawn sweeper and half asleep I pulled it away looking for the bandit , but this one had pretty stpipes and Sam had him in a heartbeat . The Air turned a foggy yellow mist and me in my shorts
    choking and covered . It was over in seconds but Sam was wagging his tail with a very dead Shunk to shovel up while my Barn cat that slept on a rug on my work bench was all fuzzed up and BIG eyed with a look that said what in the Hell are you crazy two doing smelling up my bed room.
    Now Ms Daisy would not let me in the house never mind it was a tad cool . Strip down buck naked
    Sam and I had the fix with garden hose.
    I kept a case of the stuff on hand and anger turned to laughing like a mad man I was allowed back in house cold but clean . I think Daisy burned my shorts.
    Sam didn't seem to mind and till he died skunks were on his kill list.

    I can hear what was going through Sunny's doggy mind while you were taking that picture. "What's the big deal? I'll just go out and do it again in a week or two." Murphy's Oil Soap indeed! ;o)

    One time, My cocker spaniel, Sissy rubbed a dead stinky worm... *gah*gah*... Someone told me to rub it with vinegar on the fur and it came out clean and non-stinky. It worked very well. Mom told me to stash a plastic bottle of vinegar in my car so that way, Truck would ve rub with dead nasty bugger or animal. All I can whip the plastic bottle of vinegar out of the trunk and splash on rag... Rubs rubs rubs rub on his fur till stinky is gone. You don't want stinky dog in your car. Black cloud inside of the car, you dont want that. LOL :)

    Sunny is so cute!!!

    Hugs, AO

    The dogs around here favor cow pies most of the time, but evidently we should not under estimate the delight of a good roll in the compost heap either. My neighbor's dog lived for such moments. Eeewwww! I guess you have to be a dog to understand.
