they stink to high heaven and you still let them sleep with you so you don't hurt their feelings
Last night was my "friday", so stayed up until abt 11:30. Let Izzy & Max out for a last potty - let them in a few minutes later, and OMG - Izzy really, really stank
I don't know what she found - our yard is privacy fenced and really small - but it was awful!!! It wasn't skunk - I think that would have been better - but I don't know what it could have been - smelled like something dead
I'd been up since 4:30 yesterday morning and was wiped out after my 3rd 12 hr. day - no way did I feel like giving a bath at that time of night, so I tried some wet wipes - didn't help much, but a little. She was so funny - I decided to wait until today to give her a bath, but didn't want to make her sleep somewhere else - she's slept with me since we brought her home - so I took her upstairs to bed. Normally, I have to physically pick her up and put her in bed - she has stairs, but would rather be lifted up. Not last night though - boy, as soon as we hit the bedroom, she was up the stairs and into the bed
I stuffed some vicks around my nose and collapsed but the smell started to get through the vicks by this morning
She wanted to do our usual cuddle and kiss fest when we woke up but I told her no way -
we're taking a BATH first. I shampooed her twice, put conditioner on her, and even after all that, I can still smell a faint whiff in a couple of spots on her head. Then I stripped my bed and washed everything - sheets, blanket, bedspread. All of this for a stinky little dog who has stolen my heart!
I went outside and looked and can't find anything that she could have gotten into, and I've gone out with her every time today, thinking she would probably try to go and "fix" her self up to her standards again, but she didn't - she's probably waiting until I'm not looking!
I sure hope she doesn't, cause it was truely an awful smell, and I'm not sure I could handle another night of it!
