Yoda and AlfieI have two Shar-Peis and for the most part, they are very well behaved. I guess I overlooked the fact that when nobody is looking, instinct takes precedence over being good.

Today I was at home and spent an hour out in the yard with the dogs checking on my new vegetables and flowers. The dogs were wandering around with me sniffing everything and learning what a path is as opposed to a vegetable bed.

I went back in the house to get a website design finished and left the dogs outside in the garden to play. About a half an hour later they came running into my office smelling like death. I grabbed the little guy’s (Yoda) collar and directed them both back outside while I did a sniff test. I realized they both had eaten something horrible but even worse, Yoda’s back was wet and it was apparent he had rolled in something foul.

I ran out into the yard and started looking around when I noticed a hole they had dug. I don’t mind them digging since that is what dogs do but the trouble was that they dug up a dead koi that I buried last week. Evidently, they smelled it, dug it up, rolled on it then ate it. So much for me getting my work done.

I grabbed the doggy toothpaste and proceeded to brush their teeth which didn’t actually help the smell at all. Then I took Yoda into the bathroom and we took a shower. I had to wash him three times before he stopped smelling so bad. The other Shar-Pei Alfie didn’t roll in anything so the only issue now is her breath.

Every time they breath out it smells like rotten fish so the air in the house isn’t so fresh anymore. I’m not going to tell my husband about what happened until he asks. The dogs always greet him when he gets home with kisses and I need a good laugh. Anybody know of a natural doggy breath freshener?
