GOOD for you!!! That was my Parents philosophy, and they both lived to almost 100. Dad 94, and Mom 96. Unfortunately, I was a smoker and now have COPD, so I can't function like I used to. The WANT TO is still there but the ability is not. I was ALWAYS a HARD worker, and my BIGGEST regret is that I cannot still work like I used to!!! But I DO still work AT it whenever I can.
You must be NPP's wife? Welcome to the club!!!

We had a Corgi who would protect my wife at all costs. We had to put him down a while back after 15 years.
That legless lunatic was always getting either skunked, or snakebit. The last time he confronted a rattlesnake, he took 5 bites on the snout because he would never leave well enough alone. It was a miracle that one didn't kill him, but he survived.
We tried tomato juice for his skunky adventures, but it didn't work very good. Maybe because his fur was so thick? We found some stuff at Petco that is made just for that, and it worked really well. It is kind of expensive, but my wife spent the money because God forbid that sawed off little maniac ever spend a night outside.

Years ago, my wife and I had a wolf/German Shepherd hybrid. She would not chase the neighbor's cattle, but she would roll in cowcrap and go chase deer. (We lived on the edge of the National Forest). Then she would come home a day or so later, waltz into the house if we weren't looking, and plop her ass down on the couch. Yech!

Lol! Just the other morning I saw a little foo foo dog (Shitzu I think) who lives down the road from us on his back, rolling on a road killed racoon that has been there for more than a week. The little guy looked like he was having the time of his life.
Why do dogs do that? Roll in smelly crap, I mean? We have had dogs do the same thing, and it almost makes you want to disown em!

Instinct. It kills the dog (predator) smell. My Pit got into some road kill once when she was small. It not only killed the dog smell, it damn near killed me. I have a very strong stomach, and I lost the contents. Then I had to bathe her. Then I had to bathe me. Twice.

Yes, thank you for the welcome. I am lucky enough to be married to NPP for over half a century. If you see SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed) you will know it was me.

Oh yeah! It's horrible! I just can't see that little dust mop with no handle being much of a predator though! Lol!

Years ago, I was hauling sugar beets from the field to the beet dump, and there were two Schnauzers, bows, and all eating from the ass of a dead calf in the ditch about a quarter mile from a brand new, beautiful brick home in the middle of nowhere. I always imagined them going back home, licking mama's face and being all over the furniture. It still amuses me to think about, because those well groomed little darlings weren't country type dogs.

The best treatment for skunk I've found is cheap toothpaste-smear it on the dog, leave it on a few minutes then bathe. Of course the dogs, with their sensitive noses hate the strong mint scent, and drool like crazy, so you can't leave it on too long, I find it's better to repeat than tax the dog too much. Funny the skunk scent doesn't bother them nearly as much

THAT is why I don't like Kitty in my face. He goes into his litter box, and does not clean up well after. He keeps getting on my computer trying to put HIS two-cents in, and I keep putting him off it.

He has to be right next to me all of the time. The dog too, if he is in the house, or I am outside with him. I sometimes feel like I am being MAULED. I hug, quite a bit, but I am NOT a TOUCHY-FEELEY kind of person. But for some reason they BOTH think they HAVE to be TOUCHING me all of the time. I have NEVER seen anything like it!!!

I did not know that. I was always told that it was perfume to them!!! Maybe it works for BOTH!!!

Had a German Shepherd like that.We left our bedroom door open so the kids could come in if they got scared. Try having an 90 pd GS lands in the middle of your bed while you are fast asleep. But I think yours would be a little MORE EXCITEFUL!!!
