Rolling in disgusting stuff

I must say that I'm a little disappointed in the lack of enthusiasm people are expressing over me informing you all about that this smelliness is precious gifts that you're rejecting. Ungrateful humans only thinking about how to be able to remove it as soon as possible, instead of embracing the gift, and follow your dog back to the treasure which they want to share with you.

Have I told you about the only time ever in her life that my late Norwegian Buhund bitch Humla needed a bath due to yuckiness, which also coincided with me having no running water at home?

The day after the storm Gudrun had caused havoc over a big area in Sweden, and cut off the electricity to our area, I was out on a dog walk with my nephews, and niece. One of my nephews was holding Humla's leash as we were passing by an unofficial local vantage point, she went to sniff at something a little to side of things, and my nephew wasn't quick enough to stop her when she decided to rub one side of her face, neck, and chest in human poop.

🤢 🤢

I've never seen any human poop there either before or after during the over 20 years we've lived here. And the storm Gudrun caused us to be without running water for around 2,5 to 3,5 days!
We had 2 plastic water tanks for campervans full of water at home, just in case something happened to the electricity, and thereby water supply, but I couldn't use up all of it on washing my dog, especially when we didn't know how long it would be until we got our water back.
But she really had to be washed, so I used as little water as I could to wash some away, and then used baby wipes to get her seemingly clean.

As soon as we got the water back, it was straight back into the bath tub for a proper wash, so I could feel sure she really was clean.

Zero appreciation for her trying to share her fine find with me, no gratefulness at all. I'm a bad dog owner.

Oh FL, that is a grim, but funny story!

We sometimes have water shortages, and our back-up now is a 1000ltr bundit tank, ready for my GSD to smear badger poop over herself, which she LOVES to do 🤢
You may have a point that theyre sharing their new scent with us, as mine always looks mightily proud of herself after a good stinky roll!

It is amusing even to me now many, many years later, but I was slightly paranoid when it happened, checking so that the faint smell I thought I could still detect in some areas on her didn't transfer e.g. to were she slept.
Sorry to hear that you need a water storage big enough to be able to accommodate the occasional bath of badger poop smeared dog.

I have taken this photo of Luna this evening. Doesn’t everyone have a spitfire in their garden?

The stain on her side looks a lot like blood. We have dug through her fur, and can’t find even the smallest wound. She likes to roll on top of dead things. I can only assume it was recently dead and I didn’t see her in the dark this morning. If there was even the smallest pin prick in her skin, having a look and a feel, she would have let us know.

On a walking holiday in Wales with some friends and their cocker spaniel, we were coming over the top of a hill and the dogs were ahead. As we came over the ridge we couldn't see the spaniel....but there was a dead mountain pony on the hillside. We got closer.....the dog was doing a full Leonardo DiCaprio and was INSIDE the carcass of the dead horse.

It still makes me want to cry with laughter when I think about it. But that's only because it wasn't my dog, and it wasn't sleeping in my tent.

That’s horrific! 😂 I’d have been tethering it up outside, far away!
 
I did laugh at a video my offspring sent on to me this week, she'd decided to take all of our dogs a walk and was filming them casually milling around. We have a couple of young ones between us that have been difficult when outdoors so to see them just casually doing calm dog stuff is still a bit of a novelty.

The video ended with the phone having been hastily shoved in a pocket just before the largest dog did the interested sniff then that tell-tale shoulder drop. The video ends with about 10 seconds of the inside of a pocket with "NOOOOOOOOO! GET AWAY, BAD BOY, STINKY BOY, GET AWAY FROM IT" loud and clear in the background.
