Ok gang, thought we'd put this subject to bed but... last night I was watching TV and my border collie was laying next to me licking his paws. Next thing I knew, the wonderful aroma of Fritos arose. That is too wierd!!!!! Too bad my hubby's feet don't smell like that http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif
Oh Teena.. Didn't you know? Border Collies are known for their particularly strong essence of frito!!! Happy sniffing!
Are you sure Sue isn't one of those Bear Dogs? He's gorgeous! And yes, I have been known to smell dog feet. This was the greatest topic I ever read. I was laughing at every entry. I'm not nuts, I'm not nuts -- there are other people who sniff their dog's feet and LIKE it. I just sniffed D'Artagnon's foot (cat) and didn't smell anything. Suppose he's not normal?????? (That would be an understatement. He also wasn't very happy I disturbed his nap to sniff his foot -- I got such a LOOK!) Shiloh, my JRT mix, doesn't much care for me messing with her feet as it usually means clipping nails, but I have smelled dog feet and I'm not afraid to admit it (although I wouldn't have before). Kudos on a great topic.Quote:

For all of you culinarily myopic friends out there. These are Fritos.
Ok, I admitt I have not smelled my dogs feet.
I wasn't going to do it either.
Last night I broke down when Rocky,
my Akita was laying on the floor next to
me. I took a whif.
If you ask me his feet smelled more like
a pair of socks that have been warn
during the day.
I do not think I will be smelling anymore
feet anytime soon. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif
KYS, at last! I was begining to feel like the weird one for not doing it!
Ok, for the last time.. you don't know what you're missing!! Even my ultra conservative friend said, when I asked her if she ever smelled her dogs feet said, and I quote "You mean the Frito's smell?" HAHAHAHA !!! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif I do think you are OUTNUMBERED!!! LOL!!!
Yeah Karen!!! More validation! Now, to put this topic FINALLY to bed, maybe Karen and Paul can use this question on the Pet Poll!! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif
That might be really fun to see how many visitors to the site have actually smelled their pets' feet and what they smelled like. You could throw in a question of "accidentally/intentionally", too.
alL i say is THEY DO :Þ :Þ ! ! !
Yep, it's definitely true!! My Aussie Reo has definite Frito feet!! I try convincing my parents and sister, but they just think i'm making it up. Reo is 2 -well she turned 2 dec. 10. Thanks for making me laugh too! I saw the title and just had to click and further investigate!! Keep posting more funny stuff-i'm new and never saw this B4!!
Reo's ma
That is funny that you mention this, I call my sheltie's front feet popcorn paws. She'll give a guilty look when I tell her she's got stinky feet but they do smell like Frito Chips, weird.
Hi Vixis. Check out first post page 1 ref: "popcorn paws" and kitties vs. "fritos feet" and doggies. Tee-hee http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif
OMG this is so funny, you guys are hysterical. Yes I admit it, I have smelled Daisy's feet since she was a puppy and I LOVE the smell, it is my favorite smell in the world! My mother thinks I am crazy but at least you guys know what I am talking about! Mmmmm frito feet....
Nope, we're never going to put this one to bed, do you hear me ---- NEVER!!! It is way too much fun to see who will admit to having smelled their pets' feet -- it's almost as addictive as puppy breath and the majority of us love that smell, too. Milk breath and fritos and popcorn.... there ought to be a song here somewhere.
Amazing Smells of Doggy Life
(sung to the tune - apologies due the original composer - of Amazing Grace)
Of all the things that nature brings
Some things smell sweeter by far
It's not roses' scent of which I sing
But puppy breath the sweetest thing
Of all earth scents by far
Though puppy breath is oh, so sweet
As they grow, it goes away
But then their silly feet
Have their own scent, salty neat
That we sing of popcorn feet and frito toes!
The smell of a newly clean-washed pup
Who's been out drying, sleeping in the sun
Is one of those smells,
Shampoo, warm sunshine smells
That we all love so well!
About Border Collies having especially smelly feet- how about Aussies?
Reo's mama
I can't believe I haven't come forward. I never heard of smelling your dogs feet until this posting, but how could I resist testing out this phenomenon. Off I went to the couch where Hannah was residing as Queen (of the couch). I reached for a paw, only to have it withdrawn and tucked under her wide body. Another attempt brought the same result. The Queen is very touchy about anyone handling her paws unless she is in a trance from a full blown body massage. Anyway a tussle ensued, I was determined to get a whiff and she was determined not to let me close to her paws. I've since had a few opportunities and I'm still not sure what I smell, but too bad there weren't any pictures of the "I'm going to smell your feet." "NO, YOU AREN'T!" episode. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif
LOL!!!!! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif Rach..I can just picture Hannah giving you the "what is YOUR PROBLEM?" look!!!!!!! What about Tucker's tootsies????? I can't believe this topic STILL crAcks me up!!!!!!!!
At home during the holidays, my sister Nicki was on the floor with Katie the Corgi when she said something about Katie's fat paws. I asked her if she thought they smelled like Fritos. She looked at me for a second like I was crazy for actually thinking she'd smell our dogs' feet, but then curiosity overcame her just as quickly. She grabbed a paw and took a quick sniff, and then burst out laughing--she couldn't deny that Fritos(R) smell!
PS--Speaking of holidays, I hope everyone enjoyed theirs. I'm finally home, and now I've got the move to prepare for. Won't be posting much but I'll get back in touch.

Karen: You are so talented -- a song about frito feet and puppy breath -- too great!!! Thank you!!
Hee hee, you said there had to be a song in there somewhere - I just found it, that's all!
It's odd to think this topic is likely to go three pages long. Of course, I just keep adding my two little cents to it all. Shiloh would have a fit if she knew that the secret of frito feet was being aired on the internet. Dogs consider that one of the things humans are not to know about, you know. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/wink.gif
Yah, Hannah was real ticked off and implied something to the effect that if I wanted to smell feet, I should smell my own! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/wink.gif
My Shiloh equates it to smelling armpits!!! How rude!! LOL
Okay I might sound crazy but I think that the Frito smell is stronger after the dog sleeps. Is this just me or have any of you noticed it? I always called it her 'sleepy smell' and then I realized that was Fritos too!!!! Am I losing my mind?
Daisy's Mom....I only had the nerve to smell their feet when they were sleeping. I tiptoed in when it was dark and took a whiff!! So I have no idea what their feet smell like when they're walking around.
This continues to be too funny....still glad my ex didn't see pictures. I might be committed. Of course, Helen had to share this discussion with him when she was at his house over Christmas, so he saw what I said! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/eek.gif
Trust the children to let out all your little secrets! Tell him we said he can't commit you without the rest of us and he has to catch us all first (Tee Hee). I'm working on another song, but can't decide if I want to set it to the tune of "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" or "Jingle Bells". I'll post it as soon as I can.
I can't beleive you lot have been talking about your dogs paws for all of this time.
I just dont know what Fritos smell like, but On my next trip to the other side of the pond I will no doubt be carting some home for myself and my friend Carrie to try,
I'm now wondering if the Fritos empire will survive after the realease of your discovery to the likeness of the smell otf their snacks and your dogs sweaty paws. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif
I'd love to taste Fritos but nothing, NOTHING is going to make me sniff my dog's feet!!!
I've been to England and Europe a few times and have been racking my brain tying to figure out something that compares to Fritos. I don't beleive there is anything. This is totally American. Someone has to box up a couple of bags of Fritos and send them to Carrie and Rachelle.
How big are all you's dog's feetses?
REDNECK ALERT there...lol
Anyway my cousin's 2 Great Danes have feet that thump like a horse goes clop and if you try to smell them you get your head crushed or something!! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif
they have sweaty feet too, you can feel the sweat http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif) yucky
so i have not smelled dogs feet yet because i have a cold but i will soon
OK I did it I smelled Bear's feet!!!! I wish I haddent!! YUK!!!!!! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/eek.gif I don't know what it smelled like but NOT Fritos!!! Nikki (BoxerLovers baby) has Frito feet though!! I love them!!! She also has had popcorn feet once in a while!!! I've smelt them then too!!!! On things for sure I won't be smelling my puppy's feet again!!!!!!!!! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif

I had to bring this topic back up to the top. I frequent two other message boards and the Frito Feet came up on one of them (Martha Stewart Pet Keeping). That's how we got one of our newest members here, Peanut Brittle. She asked on that site about Frito Feet, specifically. Now she's participating on this board too! Yeah!
Well, I was chatting on the MSN Golden Retreiver board Thursday evening, and something came up about dogs feet smelling like popcorn. I corrected that immediately and then later posted the link to the Frito Feet conversation we had. You can't not believe how many people have enjoyed our funny topic! I thought the greatest compliment was that one lady said "what great people post on Pet Talk".
You guys are great. And we've made a lot of people smile, and potentially gotten a lot of new participants here as well.
Thanks, Sandra, for starting the whole thing! I would have never known..............
Logan
What a pal Logan! Now I know why they call it the "world wide web!" As we speak, millions of people across the earth are smelling their doggies' feet!" http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif Actually, it's all the funny people on this forum that made it sooooo hysterical. I still go back and re-read the posts and laugh till I cry!
I just had to register for your site when I read the topic. I haven't laughed so much in a long time. I have known for a long time that dogs' feet smell like Fritos and cats' feet are popcorn. Only fellow pet lovers would understand this but I sure have had fun reading your posts!!! Oh and I discovered one of your members is a neighbor of mine....what a small world...Ktreva52 hi neighbor!
Kind of off the "frito feet" topic, but still in the realm of smells. My dog Tide is such a sweetie and when I kiss his soft muzzle I swear that it smells just like brown sugar!!
It's great to have some new members - welcome all. But please, please stop and think! If all of you are going about sniffing different parts of your dogs anatomy we are going to start losing members pretty quickly as the authorities start to lock you up! I know I can't stop you from dog sniffing - I've tried and failed - just remember to check that nobody is watching before you begin any odour exploration!!
(I hope this goes on and on....it's a scream!)
Well today it finally happened. My daughter came into my room this morning as Shiloh was still sleeping on my bed. My daughter said that Shiloh's head smelled like cookies. So here was the opportunity of a lifetime...I told her to smell Shiloh's feet. After she looked at me like I was crazy, she said they smelled like Fritos! LOL Another unbiased and unsolicited opinion! And on it goes...

***Save a life, ADOPT***
Oh what fun this is! I missed the Puppy Breath and Frito Feet song my first time through. That's fabulous.
I printed out the discussion last week and shared it with Beloved Spouse. He looked at me like I was nuts, "This was actually on the Web?" For months we had been commenting on how the dogs' paws smelled like Fritos.
A few days later he was playing with Peanut Brittle and he sniffed her paws (that were batting him almost like a kitten in the face). He said, "This time she smells like popcorn."
I thought it was incredibly cool. One of those "moments" of bonding. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/wink.gif
