We all know about the "wet dog smell" and the stink from your dog when they have rolled in something. But I really like the natural dog smell. This is not in a weird fetish way or anything. But there is something comforting about the smell of a clean dry dog, especially if they have been out in the sun.
Of course I only really know about this with my own dogs so it may just be short haired dogs. I suspect it may be a throwback to the memories from my childhood when I first got a dog. It also ties in, I guess, with when the dog is on the couch with her head resting on me getting stroked. The smell will probably be linked to that relaxed and happy state.
I was trying to describe the small to Jo last night as she could not smell it. However, it is a hard smell to put into words. All the words I kept coming up with were more linked to emotions or feelings rather than being like other smells.
So is it just me that likes the smell of their dog or is Jo right and I am just some sort of weirdo? And if it is not just me how would you describe the smell?
