OT: Speaking of what skunk smells like

We were all of us up and about at 5 this morning, so we all went for a walk. Today is trash day and as we were walking, we dodged various containers and bags on the sidewalk. One of them had a puffy fluff of white hanging out of it, like a discarded stuffed animal. I was trying to figure out what it was and wasn't paying as much attention to keeping my dog out of the trash as I should have been. Just as Cash stuck his nose into the pile of fluff, I realized that it was white *and black* and that it was moving.

Next thing I know, Cash and I are half-way up the block and Dave and Harry are across the street. Dave and I were both doubled over with laughter, adrenalin, and relief. We paid quite a bit more attention to the trash piles after that.

That's what woke me up!

So glad it's time to brew another cuppa, or it would be all over the screen!

I'm thinking about the amount of tomato juice it would take to get Elizabeth, David and the dogs to an approachable condition.

Hopefully he smells nothing like the fluffy white Brat came across lol

Today he smells his same old, no discernable dog smell, Puff. However, if you ask me tomorrow when he comes home from the dreaded Groomer, I'll tell you he smells like a demented flower pot. Why she thinks she has to use perfume on a freshly washed and groomed dog, who doesn't have much of a smell at any time, is beyond me, but although I've asked for no perfume, she forgets most of the time.

Adding to my previous note- I'm trying for the longest run on sentence award. Do you think I can qualify?

Try reminding her you are allergic to perfume and don't like re-washing him, in other words, lay it on with a trowel.

Lucille, I think your dog groomer must be in league with my cat groomer. Every time I take poor Percy to be shaved he comes back smelling of

*something*! I've left strict instructions that I'm allergic to perfumes etc, but most of the times they are ignored. My dh usually has to add insult to injury and bathe the poor cat when he comes home! Heather

I'll try, but by the time I pry his little fingers off my arm and turn him over to Shelly, I'm so frazzled I forget to remind her each time. His paws turn into velcro when he doesn't want to do something and he thinks if he hangs on hard enough I'll save him from the clipper monster.

My groomer is truly a lovely girl, who wouldn't hurt any animal (she personally owns 13 dogs, who knows how many cats, a squirrel, several horses, various birds and I don't know what other farm beasties, plus a not too hard working husband) and I know she just forgets. She's such a sweetheart, and is so good to Puff, that I can forgive her this little thing. I just take an allergy pill and wait a day.

He certainly does. I always say, I'm proudly owned by a Maltese named Puff.
