My Sweet Head

I look good in a hat, yes?

I look good in a hat, yes?

Not to get all Chessie on you this week, but I had to write about this phenomenon that is peculiar to my breed.

My head smells about as sweet as anything can right now. It baffles and pleases my humans to no end! They talk about it with wonder in their voices and I certainly get much more ear scratching.

This odor is not permanent. It comes and goes, as it pleases. There does not seem to be a pattern to it. At least not one that any of us can discern. If we could all figure out why this pretty smell arrives, we’d definitely ask it to move in permanently.

But as with all things in life, there is a Ying and there is a Yang. If the sweet smell is the Ying, then, oh boy, that Yang really stinks. And I’m sorry for you sensitive types, but I don’t have any control over how I smell. Except for the things I might roll in, but that another post. Just be happy I’m a Chesapeake Bay Retriever that does smell really good every so often. You don’t need to know why.

You just need to keep scratching my ears, k?

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.
