Smelling after going outside? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Cocoa's Mommy · 06-24-2005, 07:33 PM

Well I just took Cocoa outside for a walk, When we came back in I notice he smelled bad, You know like that "outside" smell

Is this normal

NCyorkie · 06-24-2005, 07:38 PM

It's normal for mine! I swear all he has to do is walk out on the back porch for two seconds and as soon as the outside air hits him, he gets a funk on him! I do live in NC and I know it's humid in the south but jeez!!!!!!!!!!

I had a toy poodle who did just that each time she went out...she came in with that random outdoor smell....

It would last about 30 min..till she aired out a bit...lol

Kind of like it clings in their coat!!
But...I never liked my laundry hung outside either...lol I love the fresh "downy" smell from my dryer...

jesscruz · 06-24-2005, 07:43 PM

coco's the same way, but then the smell just goes away.

seh0422 · 06-24-2005, 07:47 PM

I have noticed the same thing when I take my girls out to potty they always stink,

mg: and I finally started spraying detangleing spray on them or putting my bath and body lotion on my hand then rubbing them a few times to make them smell a little better cause mine are big lap babies and I cant stand the smell it smells like a dry sour smell, when they come in. I do think it has something to do with the humidy in the south I am in san antonio texas and it is really bad here.

Cocoa's Mommy · 06-24-2005, 07:49 PM

Haha, Thought it was just something strange about mine. Its a shame something so cute can smell so bad.

I had to laugh a little at this...I'm from Ga, lived in Dallas, AL and now NC....I remember when I moved to Texas, the first summer thinking "my god, no humidity, I didn't think it was possible!"....Texas was a dry heat to me but it felt a lot hotter....no way around it though, hot is HOT !

I am SOOO happy to hear so many of you have this same issue with your babies.

Esme is always stinky after going outside. I could give her a bath, perfume her and make her smell wonderful. I let her outside for 5 minutes and she stinks! I live in S.Fl, so maybe it does have to do with the humidity.
Thanks for letting me know there is not something terribly wrong with my baby!

lol..that's funny - I love the smell of mine after they've been outside - but NOT when they found something totally gross to roll in...Maybe you'll get used to it in time ?

HeatherHamptons · 06-25-2005, 06:59 AM

Ick, I hate that smell. It's a mix of metal and dirt. BLAH.

Prince gets it the worst cause he lokes to roll around in the dirt. Angel just does her business and comes right back. Thank god for that. I dunno if I could take that smell on two of them lol

bettyeanne · 06-25-2005, 07:57 AM

I hate to tell you all, but location or humidity has nothing to do with that smell!!

We have had the opportunity to experience this in pretty much all areas of the country .... it's all the same! Toto can go for a 10 minute walk and stinks to high heaven!! It's no different here in Colorado than it is in Alabama! We don't let her on the ground very often ... that's the most nausiating smell I have ever smelled!!

JUDY's2yorkies · 06-25-2005, 11:55 AM

I think I have it all figured out, its all of the flat frogs and other thing that get chopped up in the lawn mower that is the real problem, not the smell of our sweet babies,its the want to roll on smelly things that is unpleasant to humans

red98vett · 06-25-2005, 01:22 PM

Oh man...THANK you for the visual !! We have a toad epidemic here in texas ...I run around barefooted all the time and now I need to worry about toad-kill ? I'll never cut the grass again ! lol....ewwwww.......

ps...you're actually right - I found my 1st dead toad the other morning and it WAS flat !

ewwwwww......

mojo · 06-25-2005, 01:49 PM

I walked bella and sachi to the mailbox last night, appx. 5 min. walk.
We came back in the house and they both reeked. I couldnt be around either of them for a good 15 minutes. It was awful. I dont understand, it doesnt stink outside but the combo of the dogs and being outside is not a good one!

Tashx52 · 06-25-2005, 04:12 PM

Corky sweats bad after I take him outside. We'll go out back for 5 minutes and he'll sweat and smell like fish! Its so gross! lol He's really cold natured so I only like to give him a bath once a week but goodness, sometimes you just have to! lol
