From Scout the Dog’s Archives

That’s what A-Dog and Shoes-on-the-Floor have been saying. Almost every time I’m near them, it’s “OMG, you smell!” Let me shed (ha ha – dog pun) some light on the topic from down here in doggydom.

First of all, the smell doesn’t bother my nose. I love when things smell bad. Why do you think I rub my neck on that dead squirrel on the ground? I put my nose right up the droppings of my friends just to check them out, pee on it and smell it again. So, all the fussing about my smell, falls on deaf doggie ears.

I have heard at the vet (THE scariest place) that a healthy dog shouldn’t smell. Here’s what you do: bathe me. Radical, I know, but it should work. And please, use something that doesn’t have a lot of chemicals. I lick myself over and over again, so whatever you use, I will be sampling it.

If I still smell, then it could be a bunch of different things. My diet may need adjusting. I suggest more meat and some more meat. Or I’ve heard about glands on the backside having problems. But every self-respecting dog should be able to maintain those for you. Otherwise, you’ve got an attention-seeker on your hands. Check my teeth, ears, coat, bark bark bark (that’s blah blah blah for dogs)… it’s gotta be something. You’re the human – you figure it out.

I’m gonna go stick my head inside a shoe. There’s plenty to choose from on the floor in this house. Here endeth the doggie lesson – woof!

Hey! That’s my head right there.

Welcome to my first post.

I’m Scout the dog, also known as “Scooter;” “Princess Click-Click;” “Good Girl;” and “Hey!” among other names. I share my home with Shoes on the Floor, A-Dog, Little Feet and Preemie Feet. I’m kind of a country dog – don’t really get along with my leash. But Shoes on the Floor (let’s call him Shoes for short, as my paws get tired from typing) and A-Dog usually find places to take me that don’t technically require a leash.

That’s a little bit about me. I’ve started this blog to share some inside information from the dog world. Hope it helps you and your humans!

A-Dog and Shoes sometimes call me “The HugBuster.” When they get lovey and hug, I like to insert myself between them. They usually laugh when I do this, so of course, I’m going to do it every time. And I do it why? Well, this is not a Hug Bust in my eyes, this IS how I hug. Dogs don’t like traditional human hugs, but we love affection, and this my way to hug them. I’m glad they like it, even if they don’t understand it.

Here endeth the doggie lesson – woof!
