Smelly Dogs

My dog smells horrible. When she was younger we used to always put her outside on a chain, but now that she's older, she's developed some trust and we let her run outside by herself in the mornings and evenings. She'll always come back, but not always clean. For some reason dogs like to smell bad. Sometimes my dog will even sneak into our laundry room and steal dirty clothes and then roll all over them. It's only funny until I have to give her a bath. Then once she's had a bath she realizes that she smells good and tries to get dirty all over again. It's a never ending cycle. Dogs have better noses than humans. Maybe the bad smells actually smell nicer than the good smells. Maybe dogs need to wear a distinct perfume to show themselves off to other dogs and well, bad smells certainly are distinct and noticeable. Also maybe they know humans don't like bad smells so they wear them just to spite us. After all if we're their masters, aren't they our slaves? It's pretty baffling. The only conclusion I can come up with is there's communism somehow involved here. Anyways whatever it is, it's not very nice because now I have to go give my dog a bath .

Kathryn, you are wonderful. I'm sorry that you are the one who has to wash your dog, but I think it's pretty cool that you even have a dog. I think I'm starting to understand this French stuff. You are amazing, beautiful, kind, smart, a great writer, hey, you're just incredible.

How was your day?
