The smell of death....

I've cleaned him up and put his towels in the decontamination chamber. He's still banned from following me though.

Our late lamented Lab once found a long-dead crab to roll on. Which was nice.
Not nearly as good as the fox poo, or the time that another Lab of ours rolled in a fresh cow pat.
Fortunately there was a handy river to push her into.

IME, carrion is far, far worse than faeces when it comes to the lingering stench of foulness, especially because dogs who roll in anything vile are dogs who love to cuddle you.

It seems my down the road neighbours Labrador found it too. Only trouble was, I'd started to give her a stroke before the smell hit me and he proclaimed that he thought she'd rolled in something. I affirmed that she definitely had and went in to wash my hands.

Mine has a guilty expression that she only uses when she's been up on the furniture uninvited or rolled in something. It's then followed by the "you're so mean" look because I've either had to get the hoover to get rid of the dog hair (she's scared of the hoover) or marched her over to the hosepipe and liberally soaked her (and usually myself) and scrubbed her until it's safe to breathe again. It's a cruel world.

Was that recent Doc?

The death? About 18 months back. The crab was 6-ish years before that.

I had a terrier that rolled in a dead seagull on Newhaven Beach. We started our journey back to Huddersfield before we realised she had done so. I simply turned straight round and dragged her unceremoniously into the surf! It had gone a sort of khaki colour.

Canadian friends tell me that if your dog is sprayed by a skunk, the only solution to the appalling stink is to wash the mutt from head to toe in tomato ketchup. Bizarre, but true.

My dearly departed Jack Russell had her eye on a squashed magpie on a path/cycle route. She'd tried for ages to roll on it but i always stopped her,then one day she beat me and rolled on the thing.To make matters worse by now some other dog had dumped on it!

Works well for fox poo too. Every time...

 

[Cuchilo]

Is it better or worse than them rolling in fox poo?

That can be evil.

Why would you want to do that ?

So does Ecover washing up liquid. Or baby shampoo.

....is following me around and it's strong.

It could be a premonition but it's not. Instead it's the smell of dead seagull, the one the dog rolled in. I'm just summoning up the will to deal with it and wash him down. Right now he's been banished from my side while I eat my breakfast, sigh.....
