Stinky Dog For Sale Know anyone who might want to buy a slightly used Yngo Kid? Dog for Sale; 2 Peg Teeth/Semi-Obedient/ Neutered/ Great Disposition but smells like SHI_  That’s how the Ad was going to read last night when I was ready sell, even give away the little creep. We arrived home a little earlier than usual last night so I thought I would squeeze in a trip to the Arboretum before Dinner. Diesel jumped in the car and off we went. Nothing unusual, just our regular trail, the one he knows like the back of his paw.  He decided to run ahead through the trees into the open field and run around like a fool waiting for me to catch up.  The Wind was coming from behind me so I did not know till I arrived and was immediately slammed, that the field had been fertilized... Yes folks it was full of SHI_!!!!!! At least two inches thick.  And thanks to modern agriculture techniques used at the McGill University next door, it was the new and improved liquefied kind. For ease of spreading I guess. I believe it’s broken down using enzymes. But I digress. Well I did indeed get slammed, fell down and was almost as coated with the stuff as he himself was, and I am sure thought he smelled just wonderful.  Now I am covered in SHI_, my Dog is covered in SHI_ and I still have a 2K walk back to the parking lot where I left my car that I am not sure how I am going to get into smelling like a Manure Pile.  Meanwhile Mr. Stinky is still trying to go back to the field for more rolling so I had to put his leash on, which now also smells like SHI_. This is not to mention the people I encountered on the way back to the car, who thought "Oh, how cute, but glad it’s not me."  Now I’m back at the Parking lot and it’s getting late, dark and cold and my husband is at home wondering where I am. Stupid me did not bring my cell-phone.  At this point I am really considering putting Diesel in the trunk, stripping off my own smelly clothes and driving home wearing just the spare rain jacket.  But what if I get stopped by the police, or worse have an accident, I would have a hard time explaining all this.  I backtrack onto another trail where I know there is a pond (a very dirt pond...but how can it be worse than this??).  So we go to the pond wash off the surface Pooh, but can’t wash off the smell.  We go back to the car, I use the spare rain jacket to dry us off, and we get into the car to go home. All the way home Diesel is rolling on the backseat trying to dry-off, and at the same time rubbing the stink into the upholstery.  We get home finally, and Diesel bolts for the back door and of course Frank lets him in not knowing he smells like SHI_.  Upstairs he runs, jumps onto out bed to continue the drying off process, while I try to get out of my smelly clothes, which went directly into the garbage. Now we have him in the bath which is not really big enough for him anymore and I am trying to wash him off, but he’s not cooperating.  So at this point there are three of us in the Tub... Diesel, me washing, and Frank holding, but it’s gone past seven and Frank has to get going to Football Practice so I am on my own. I get him washed, keep him in the bathroom with me while I shower, and then tackle the cleaning of the bed.  Needless to say the duvet went into the garbage too.  It was the same one he killed last week so it was no great loss, except I was waiting for a sale before replacing it.  I used a whole bottle of shampoo and this morning he still stinks!!!!!!! The Car Stinks!!!! And we froze last night without our Duvet.  Stinky Dog for sale indeed.

Yuck.
