[tikeyas_mom]

Yesterday I took Tikeya for a walk and she rolled in a dead rabbit :eek: it was no nasty, is my dog the only one that does this or what? :mad:

[lovemyshiba]

Eeeeww!!
I don't think she is the only one who does stuff like that. Mine don't, but only because they are on the leash always, although, the neighbor's cats killed a chipmunk, and Riley tried to play with it:eek:

[tikeyas_mom]

well it was in a dog park and they were off the leash going up a path and ya, she started rolling, I KNEW it wasnt good, I thought it was going to be cat poo, but noooo.. it was a dead rabbit, It was discusting half eatin. :eek: .. I couldent believe her. I face washed her when I got home. YUK!

Last year I was dog-sitting my friends 110 lb Golden Retriever (Max) and was walking him up a trail by my condo. I look behind me and he was rolling around in the grass. Me, not knowing that much about dogs, continued to walk and called him but he did not follow me. So I went back to where he was and he was rolling around on a dead rat - a HUGE rat - that had obviously gone to the RB days before. I was so disgusted! But, from what I hear, most dogs do that.

WHY? it is so nasty. I think they try to get there sent on it. but still it is sooo groose.

Max use to roll in cat poo, until I scolded him by rubbing his nose in cat poo & tapping his nose & fermly saing no, yucky poo poo. Saying yucky poo poo will make him stop in his tracks & spit out or flee what ever hes sniffing.

My dad will not bath Max, only cause Max wont get in the tub for him & he fears the water will be too warm or too cold, & doesn't want to hurt Max. Soooo dad put ketchup on him to hide the cat poo smell until I get hime... hehehh u think cat poo is gross, well add ketchup & its even grosser :p

But for dead things Max doesn't rool in it, he will point & sniff.. its quite funny, hes not even a pointer & he does a fairly good job of pointing.

[tikeyas_mom]

lol that sounds funny. poor max has to live with poop and ketchup till you get home lol.. aww.. ;)

A dog a use to walk for someone use to roll in dog poop :rolleyes: We'd have to take her to my friends house and wash her before taking her home lol

[tatsxxx11]

Mine do that all time:rolleyes:, especially at the beach...dead seagulls, fish, and such. The smell is the worst imaginable and harder to wash off than skunk scent! I read that it's their way of marking the "prey" with their scent so that other interlopers will stay away!

Mine roll on bird poop, dead worms and anything else they can find in the yard. It is so gross. I can catch them at it and say "STOP!!" - they just look at me and keep rolling.

[tikeyas_mom]

*chuckles* Star has found some interesting things to roll in, but I think my kitty takes the cake. She brought her kill in yesterday and ate it under the pool table!! EEW!

Taggert will roll in anything that smells awful at the dog park. One evening last summer, he and Snoopy adn another little dog came out from some weeds and they had something yellow and very smelly on them. I hated to let them in the car to drive home and they went straight into the tub. I don't know why dogs do such gross things but I sure would like to know how to get them to stop!!!!
