The day the dog was groomed...and other sensory issues

Boomer stunk.
Really stunk.
I still loved him
but really, I wondered if there was a skin infection.
I searched for hot spots.
Obsessively.
I urged him to lay on the tile and not the carpet.
So today Uncle Matt took him to town for the works...
a bath,
a trim of spots needing trimming
(think uneven burr removal hair repair
knots behind ears,
toe hair and nails....),
and a new very festive bandana.

Ben apparently didn't think he stunk.
Ben is not happy about bath day.
Ben, who is into smelling things lately,
like clean clothes to make sure they don't "smell like a girl"
and his hands to check for "gross food smell"
or "nasty pretty soap smell"
or "ick"
took one whiff of Boomer and declared
"He stinks!
It's completely ridiculous.
He smells exactly like an evil gaseous creature."

Um, yeah.

Too funny! Ben is full of great lines lately! He sounds so
much older! Hopefully we see you guys next weekend.
