True, every morn Duke and I walk through a heard of cows, he kisses the same greeny, slobbery, slimy tongued mouth every morn. He just loves em I have to tug and tug on his lead to bring him off them.
Now the nights are darker and cooler, walking past a lovely country cottage and you get that amazing aroma from the wood burner or wood fire coming from the chimney, takes me back years ago to when we were kids playing out till all hours that smell.
my boy has a habit of eating anything rotting. The more decayed the better (my girl wouldn't even entertain the thought - she looks on is disgust, but goes bonkers for dead frogs, and rolls in them for ages unless i shoo her away. She's also partial to fox poo, unlike Him). I don't know if ate whatever it was He found, but a few years ago He vanished, and returned about 15 minutes later. He had maggots all over his back, and this sticky can't-quite-describe-the-eye-watering-gagging smell stuff all over him, bits of fur, gelatinous goo... You name it, it was on him. I honestly couldn't breathe in through my nose it was so bad. Unfortunately we were a car ride away, so then the car stunk. And it was summer, so the smell festered despite every window being open, me chucking him in a stream, rubbing him with handfuls of grass etc. He honked for the best part of a week, even with daily baths with shampoo. Touch wood He's not done it since...
he has done the eat-a-rotting-rabbit / fish-and-vom-it-up-in-the-car thing once or twice. When we were bringing him home as a pup, He vommed green tripe up. I bagged it, carried on home, forgot about the bag, which was wedged under the drivers seat. That black car sat in the sun everyday for about a week, with the smell getting worse by the day.... I found it when rather tiddly, which went down a treat!
