Does anyone else like the smell of their dog?

[DaisySteiner]

I don't mean when he's been rolling in something disgusting or has been out in the rain and whiffs of wet dog, I just mean his normal doggy smell. He follows me round all day and I like it when I can smell him, it's cosy and reassuring I'm distinctly odd aren't I?

I love it

Especially the pads of his paws.

I also like the smell of dd2's hair, and - oh wait, maybe I'll stop there

No. That is all.

Yes, another one here. We have three and they each smell subtly different. When one of them comes back from her hydrotherapy, there is a very powerful chlorine smell and it takes a couple of days for her normal aroma to return. Definitely something very reassuring about it, though I don't like the house to smell "doggy". Cue much busy housekeeping and a variety of scented candles though that's more to do with the farting.

Yes, I do. I find it comforting.

Yes!! Whippety lurcher is thin coated and thus does not pick up that damp doggy smell our cocker used to stink of. In fact The Pointy One does not smell doggy at all - he smells of 'us', our furniture, our washing powder etc.
I also love the slightly wotsitty smell of his pads.

I love snuggeling up on the sofa with him, burying my nose in his fur and just snuffeling. Mmmmm, love my dog...

I love hugging my dog she smells of home and fuzz

Ohhh yes scuttle, the farting....

My dog smells lovely and I love the smell of him. He smells of comfort and cuddles and love. I love my dog too.

I do try to avoid the smell of him on things though. I wouldn't like my sofa to smell of me in particular and I feel the same about our lovely dog. His smell of dog is lovely on him but not elsewhere.

yes I do!

the bit behind her ears

IN her ears

her snout

her popcorn feet

very comforting, all is right with the world when I snuffle her

God no. It's foul - I hate it.

Do you think this is because I have a love/hate relationship with Dill?

Yes! Especially the tops of their heads. Two labs and a boxer.

Aha soupdragon I have just been thinking about you as I have just made your flapjack recipe. It has made the house smell divine and would, indeed, mask all doggy odour in yours if you were in need of a solution.

poor dill

Yes when she is dry. She smells lovely.

Definitely NO when she is wet.

I like wet dog smell , doesn't even have to be mine

IN her ears? Yuk!

But yes, paws are like popcorn. And dd's head is like candyfloss in the mornings. I must have a sweet tooth...

Yes. And her biscuit feet.

I was going to make a jokey comment based on the fact that I"ve just made flapjacks too. Then I saw your last comment.

thanks for making me feel shittier about my relationship with Dill than I do already. Fabulous.

I'm off to hide the fucking Doghouse altogether.

Oh no Soup I didn't mean it like that at all. I am so sorry. That was not my intention at all. I was just teasing. I didn't know there was a real issue. I am very, very sorry Soup.

My dog smells of dog biscuits :)

OMG - yes popcorn paws! I've never smelt their paws before (until just now - dog thinks I'm looney sniffing her feet as she lies next to me on the sofa!) but I love the smell of my dogs when they are clean and dry. I hadn't thought of it before but it is comforting and just makes me want to cuddle up all evening.

Yes! Me and DP both love the smell of our doggy!
Her head and some bits of her body smell of malted milk biscuits and her ears smell of honey! :)
She's a staffy so has short hair!
I have never smelt her paws though! Might give it a go :)

My staffy has honey ears too! Shame about the other end:)
