I have to say, I thought my first dog (a basset hound/coon hound mix) was a bit of a foo-foo dog. I'd take him for a walk and he would walk around mud puddles and the such. But, he and the other dog have really taken a shine to the country life. Err...shine might not really be the right word as they are far from shiny. They are really digging it or rolling in the life style might be more appropriate. I need biohazard gloves to pet them anymore. I have found three dead moles, a dead racoon, and several other animals in such a state of decomposition to be unrecognizable. My dogs love rolling on and through the decomposing bodies, chewing on them, vomiting up what they can stomach the first time, rolling in that, and then trying to stomach it a second time. By the time I get one dog cleaned up, the other one has rolled in something new. The only positive out of all this is that no live animal (outside of the third dog from down the road) will come into our yard, which means no animals are bothering my garden. @Molk Animal shows love showing just how dangerous the animals are in Australia. Not only do you guys have some crazy dangerous snakes and spiders, it seems that ever animal carries some sort of venom- the ants, bugs, kangaroos, kittens, etc... Still, despite the apparent dangers I would love to visit Australia some day. The skunk smell is just lovely.

I hope the smell has started to abate. I read this in the original comment box and am pleased to find it here so that I can say how funny it is.
