If you're not fortunate enough to own a dog or spend much time with one, I would like to share with you something that should not go unnoticed. Dogs have some of the worst smelling gas of any animal on the planet. And when I say worst I mean room-clearing horrible.
I think everyone knows dogs pass gas. But the thing is it sneaks up on you. Not only that, but it usually comes in clusters. Just when you're all curled up on the couch watching tv, you get this cloud of odor that sort of hangs in the air. And let me tell you it is nasty. Somewhere between rotten eggs and baby diapers. Seriously foul. And then another. And another. And another. Any more? Are you sure that was it Echo?
It's the best when we have company. Dogs don't know passing gas is undesirable. It really grosses people out and they look at you like "what?" The other day we were playing Cranium with a bunch of friends and the dog insisted on standing in the middle of the circle. She just needed to be in the action. But then she decides to curl up on the couch behind a couple of people and when she relaxes, of course, she lets it all go. Fart after fart.
Someone suggested feeding her yogurt. So maybe I'll try that. Can't hurt right? As long as that doesn't give her diarrhea.
