LOL - Welcome to YT, still think it's an April Fool's Day prank but no beef gravy smell here either though lots think Yorkies' feet smell like Fritos or corn chips. Tibbe, my Yorkie, has a yeast infection that he gets in his pawpads at times that smells like corn chips(not French fries) or popcorn but not anything like beef gravy but it could just be differences in how we all perceive odors. If you Google both terms, lots of people think Yorkies smell like Fritos, corn chips and popcorn but don't seem to have any takers on beef gravy.

Here's an oversimplified and I'm certain not technically correct explanation: It is apparently the yeast in the pawpads that causes the odor to be formed when the heat and moisture from the pawpads mixes with existing organisms. The organisms can multiply faster than some immune systems can kill them and can get infected and quite foul smelling - awful, really - needing treatment.

Happy April Fool's Day, fellow Yt'ers!!! Tibbe loves my new 103 lb. pitbull foster, Petunia.
