O.K. so our dog Kooper is only 4, but he's experienced. Tonight I took him for a walk at Killarney Lake and he did something he has never done before. Our last Golden Retriever (Simba - best dog ever) was a regular participant in this activity, but I didn't think Kooper had the gene for it. He's had loads of opportunities before tonight, but has been disinterested, as he generally is with anything other than snowballs, sticks and water. But tonight, for whatever reason, he sniffed, dipped the shoulder and went for it. A few seconds and a few "Oi, get out of that!" later and there he was sporting a new scent of 'more than a hint of something stinky'.
I don't know why he suddenly decided to do that. I'm not sure if it was the two rabbits we had just spotted and the thought of chasing them through the woods disguised as a moose turd or what. I tried the usual of getting him into some water and see if it goes away, but that never works. I gave him a bath as soon as we got home, but I didn't do a very good job as he is now lying at my feet emitting equal amounts of dog shampoo smell and something raunchy while he cleans his privates. What a dog.
