Sissy stinks! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

margaritaville · 05-12-2009, 02:13 PM

I have been using Minksheen and they both have been smelling great. I just love the stuff. Yesterday Sissy came in from the yard and jump up to give me a kiss and the smell almost knocked me down. At first I thought she must have rolled in poop, but it didn't smell like that. Then I thought ahhh! either bird s--t or squirell cr-p. Today my daughter came over and we had all the dogs (hers and mine) outside when Sissy started rubbing her face on the ground. My daughter and I went to look to see what it was and it was......earthworms!!. So that is what is making her stink so bad. I am looking forward to tomorrow when I can give her a bath. She was just Frontlined so I have to wait.

That is so odd, my sisters dog did that over the weekend when they were out at my moms she just got down on the sidewalk and tried to rub up against that. I have never seen a dog do that before. It makes me wonder why Milo is really rolling around in the grass EWWW

Gosh, they always find the most stinky things to roll in !!!

On Easter when there were about 20 people around, Laya decided to rub her head in deer poop. We were at someone else's house. It was so gross, she stunk the rest of the day!!!

Louis has done that before too. He will start to roll around in the grass and when he is done he stinks so bad, I have to give him a bath. I never could find out what he was rolling in, maybe it was earthworms.

Emma does the same thing...rolls all over the earthworms, tries to dig them up and then she tries to eat them! I am sure she has been successful since sometimes I don't get to her in time before she has eaten one. I use Minksheen on her as well but after she is outside doing that, she stinks! As a matter of fact, any time she is outside she stinks! She smells so bad that I sometimes I have to bathe her more than once a week!

AHHHHH I learn so much from this forum!! It all makes sense now!! We always try to catch honey when she's rolling around in the grass. It drives the dh NUTS! but we never find anything... now im betting its the worms!!! its usually right after it rains too.. GRRRRR! So my question is, anyone know how to STOP them from rolling in stinky stuff? And why earthworms and poop? why not the stinky bully sticks t hat i've heard so much about? Do dogs have different sense of smell than we do? (they must if they like to chew stinky bully sticks haha!)
