Icky Pooooooo!
 

Today we went to my son's to look at a house he is interested in buying. This was a couple hours from here and I put Maddie's purple harness dress on and brought a leash. While we were looking at the house, we went out to look at the back yard and upon going back into the house, I smelled poop. The lady showing the house came into the room we were in and quickly left. My son also smelled poop, so we checked our shoes...they were clean. I was holding Maddie and I smelled her mouth, paws and butt and they didn't stink. Then, while talking to the realtor, she mentioned Maddie's dress. I looked down and saw poop rubbed on her dress and leash. She had rolled in poop while we were outside and it wasn't her poop, of course. I took the dress off her and threw it outside until we were ready to go. I could still smell it a bit on her, but it wasn't bad. So, for the rest of the day, everywhere we went, I had to hold her because I had no extra harness and leash along. I thought of letting her down at one place, but after so many YT yorkies have been lost, I wasn't about to take a chance of having her run. First thing when we got home tonight, she had a bath. Now she smells sweet again.

Why in the world do dogs roll in disgusting stuff? Ugh!!!

:eek: poop sucks

LOL - poor you. Good judgement on keeping her close. I know from experience that it's not easy finding them once they are loose. You situation made me think that it might not be a bad idea just to keep at least an extra leash in the car for those unforeseen problems. Take care and so glad she's back to her sweet smelling self. :)

I know what you mean about poop! My two always make a beeline for possum poo whenever we go for bush walks! OMG that stuff STINKS!

Connie - good call on the spare harness and leash! I was walking on the beach once and lost my lead! (a pox on the high tide which claimed my expensive lead!) I really ought to keep spares in the car.

Sometimes they do something totally disgusting for us, humans, don't they...:eek: . I read that rolling around in poop or, worse, dead animal, are a way they mask their scent... After all, they are dogs and genetics kicks in once in a while.

ewww nasty makes you think of a little kid getting in mud in their sunday best..lol but they like stinky stuff the doggies her for some odd reason like to roll on dead frogs if they find one YUCK

end of story.

haha... so blatent and funny.

LOL ! That pretty Maddie rolls in Poop ? Maddie ???? :eek: :eek: :eek: I just fing THAT hard to believe :p

I can't say my girls have found any 'strange' to roll in ...but they sure do love to roll on Worms and dead bugs in the yard....and IF there was ever a dead toad I'm sure they'd roll on that too - lucky for them - I AM THE MASTER TOAD TOSSER of Houston :D :D :D and ALL toads go right over my fence into my neighbors yard LOL

(course I'm on Toad Tossing Hiatis after tearing my shoulder - I suck throwing left handed)

EWWWW! Also, i ordered extra harnesses and leads so i have one in the car, one in the stroller and one in the carrier.

I find it had to believe Maddie would do anything like that maybe she doesn't like purple. But then again super models do strange things.

Looks like you might be making a bag to carry spare clothes for the little Diva.

:eyetearss

My poodle has to be watched closely or she will do the same. Once she rolled on a dead bird :eek:

I dont get the poo thing either, when we take Meg for her walks and she finds some bird poo she tries to roll around in it. yuck

same reason they eat poop lol!

Connie, I am going to kill you..............i think I read this thread at the wrong time because I am eating dinner as we speak and all this poop talk kinda killed it for me.............but thanks for the story anyway. I really enjoyed Maddie and her Poop. LOL U know I luv u both.............thanks for sharing that story...ur stories are always great!
