Cosmo smells like…

    …fabric softener... I did the laundry later in the day and put her blanket on it and used it last night... She always bury herself in it to keep super warm and toasty... This morning, when I was playing with her, she smelled kind of fresh and clean... And then realized why... I think she's static-free, too!!! :D:D:D

    Wow, smells good and static free too! That calls for some extra hugs and smooches!

    My rat terrier, Joker, gets very anxious whenever there's a thunderstorm, and starts to shake… and we live in the lightning capital of the US. :) Someone told me to rub his back with a fabric softening sheet, like Bounce... and it was supposed to discharge the static electricity in the air! Well, it didn't really work, but he sure did smell good! :) :)

    Blaze does it, too, as did Maxx before him. It does tend to freak people out who are not dog savvy or who know nothing about Basenji's because they think he's waiting to attack their dog. We try to reassure the other person that, no, Blaze isn't going to attack their dog…it's just something Basenji's do. Some people aren't convinced, though...we had one person in the RV park where we spend the winter go so far as to pick up his dog everytime they saw us coming. That dog, who started out being friendly, turned into a barking, growling dog everytime we'd walk by. Some people simply shouldn't be allowed to have dogs! ;)

    All of mine are having a longer and larger shed right now than is usual. I think it because it has been unusually hot and humid for a longer time than normal.

    I would think they are extra interested in the smell because it is so foreign to them. So they keep sniffing it in hopes to identify it.

    Kiro Gurl, That's a great pic. I have a bay window on which my 2 are constantly watching the goings on in the neighborhood. Someone in the house will say, "where's the dogs?" and the inevitable reply is "they're on Neighborhood Watch duty." Needless to say we are alerted to every unwanted intruder…..marauding cats, wilily squirrels, and those despicably lawless off leash dogs (with the occasional 'bad to the bone' large wild bird thrown in for good measure;) ) sigh, I feel sooooo safe. I thank Darwin every day that they don't have opposable thumbs 'cuz they'd be unlocking and opening the door for anyone they deemed as a suitable playmate, tummy scratcher, or cuddler:D ! Now that you have a 'window watcher' too, I suggest you invest in windex. There's nothing better to get those dog snot streaks off the windows!! (BTW...welcome to the forums toddsgirl)
