... to lock the dog in the shed for a week...

[BeyondThePage]

just that really,

he just "found" an egg in the garden - a brown hen's egg - I guess a fox had buried it? Trouble is I am not entirely sure which YEAR the fox buried it in...

OMG - the stench, he cracked it 25 foot from the back door and we can smell it through the house. He is not coming in, I have hosed down the goopy stuff, and the dog. He stinks of sulfurous rotten eggs, DD is running a bath for him, but he needs to go through the house to get to it....

Any tips on getting rid of the smell would be welcomed... if not WIBU to shove him in the shed?! (kind of light-hearted in an OMG I can't believe he smells so bad kind of way )

Give the dog to your mother in,aw to look after. Tell her you have flu

For the next bath, put a handful chopped fresh mint in boiling water, let it cool then rinse his coat in that.
Or Try tea- tree oil in bath water.
Helps naturally decontaminate the odour

I think I would have wrapped him in towel and driven him straight to Pets at Home as they have Groom Room where they have wonderful products and let them sort him out. He would come out smelling great.

When I read the first post, I thought it sounded like something my Westie would have done.

Sorry to say but I was delighted to see it WAS a Westie

(I lost mine in April!)

Hope the smell wears off soon. Bloody dogs

One of mine manages to wake me in the middle of the night with the smell of his farts.

Snort

My dog tried to grow fish finger bushes in the back garden. After she has dug up all my summer bulbs to make way for her bones and chews. Her farts , especially after fish, could clear a room

Actually, I'm not sure if it was a fox, OP.

Witches bury eggs, you need to burn some sage to cleanse the house and the garden.

a friend of mine's spaniel found a dead rat in the park and squished it so hard it popped .On the way home a woman came up and said 'oooh what a lovely d...' and then she noticed his jaws dripping with rat stuff...

We were once staying with friends many hours away from home when our terrier found a dead seagull in the garden and rolled in it, popping it’s stomach and enduring he really ground it into his fur.
Boke.
He trotted into the house looking really happy with himself as kids and adults ran screaming and gagging from the room.
Much ketchup shampooing followed and the only reason he is still with us today and wasn’t left in on the doorstep of a home for stinky hounds is that we’d had a car crash the week before and our hire car was one of those truck things with the “boot” in a separate cabin .... there is absolutely NO WAY we could have driven home with him in the same space as us ... I’m boking right now just thinking about it. Should have chucked a bottle of sarson’s at him!

Sea water is best at getting horrible stuff out of dogs' coats. When our Lab rolls in something vile, we go straight down to the beach and play fetch in the sea for 20 minutes. Job's a good 'un. Helps if you live within half a mile of the sea, obvs. :-)

I would bring him to a groomers to be professionally cleaned. Please don't put your poor dog in the shed.

ketchup has almost worked a treat on the smell, you wonderful mumsnetters!! The smell is slightly there, but tolerable (especially if he is in the garden... and I am not)
Thank you!!!!

You will need to keep some in stock I think!!!!!

Our absolute dickhead of a spaniel likes to find roadkill and roll in it. In Padstow last summer she gobbled up the head of a dead seagull, vomited it back up then rolled merrily in the seagull-chunder and there was an absolute swarm of Joules-clad families running in the opposite direction to our asshat dog for the remainder of the day.

She once also found a rotten crab and rolled in that, then was so offended by her own smell tried to run away from it, fell down some cliffs in the sea and for one blissful moment I thought "hurrah, we can buy a new dog, one that's less of a knobber" til she came scrambling up the cliffs towards me, still trying to escape her own smell.

Our dog groomers deserve knighthoods for tolerating the dog's insolent ways. We have discussions every time we go for a walk like Turner and Hooch "this is not your dead animal, this is not your dead hedgehog" and as soon as she's off the lead she's like "fuck yooooooou" and does exactly as she pleases.

Moon, your dog wins the absolute asshat knobber prize!!
