Oh! Not to start this topic up again (though thanks for the smile, Tats!), but in a recent Bat Conservation newsletter, it said that the reason that colonies of Mexican free-tail bats smell like corn tortillas is because the sources of the smells are chemically identical. I thought of the Frito Feet discussion, and wondered if there might be something similar going on with our dogs' feet. I think carrie had suggested something along those lines.

I haven't smelled Lefty's feet...yet. His breath is not bad either, but when he burps it smells like dog food--and he burps a lot! I'm so glad I'm not alone in this, and you hit it right on the head, tats--their smell is very comforting.
