Idgie Likes the Stink

There have been previous posts about how Spanky likes snow, or swimming, but very few posts about what Idgie likes. It's not because we like Spanky better.

It's because Idgie like stink.

If it stinks, Idgie rolls in it. The more it stinks, the happier she is. And it's not like she's some big huntress, either, out stalking birds or squirrels all the time. (Never, in fact...) Maybe she doesn't hunt because she doesn't feel she's sufficiently stinky to sneak up on stuff, but I doubt it.

The other day we went down to Murphys and took the dogs and took them to the creek that run through town. Spanky swam around and discovered currents (and had quite a look of surprise when he turned back upstream and wasn't getting anywhere!) and Idgie, apparently, found a pile of rotting fish guts and rolled in them. We didn't notice until we got back to the car, and Diane had her head hanging out the window most of the way home. It reeked!

Idgie got scrubbed and tubbed and sprayed with Fabreeze, and I have to go get her a new collar today because I can't get the fish-stank out of her old one.

That is so disgusting! They have this stuff at the pet store for when your dog gets sprayed by a skunk; it might get the stink out of whatever it might still be clinging to.

There was a small poodle at agility for a while that would take FOREVER to do its runs because whenever it came upon a spot where another dog had peed, it would flop over and roll around.

Dogs are weird.
