All you folks with stinky pets… Have you ruled out dietary triggers? If the dog’s or cat’s farts always stink that badly, it probably means they’re eating something that they shouldn’t. Dairy and onions are examples of common triggers. ---

My hamster never interrupted the proceedings. Mr. Gere’s may have, but mine… never. But I’ve heard stories of my brother’s dogs getting between him and his wife… literally. ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > All you folks with stinky pets… Have you ruled out dietary triggers? In the new dog’s case, it’s probably emotional triggers rather than dietary. His internals act up pretty strongly if he gets too excited - about an hour after an unusually exciting event, he beings to emit UN-banned levels of stench. ---

Captain has perfected the art of cuddling up to my boyfriend while we’re snuggling and watching TV and then cutting the world’s most noxious dog farts. Then we wrestle each other for pillows to waft the foul air towards each other. It’s something of a game. (And I can let out anything I want to and he’ll assume it was the dog!) ---

Do dogs fart a lot? I’ve only ever known cats. Once when Butch was a wee kitten, he was curled up right next to my face. I heard a very faint, almost inaudible “pfffft” noise, and was assaulted by stench. I had to leave the room. But at least they don’t watch the sex. But they do investigate the wet spot intently. Fucking nasty. Joe ---

If the dog’s or cat’s farts always stink that badly, it probably means they’re eating something that they shouldn’t. Dairy and onions are examples of common triggers. Took us two post Thanksgivings to figure out to give one of our beloved dogs turkey was to condemn him to two days sleeping in his crate alone. Even his “brother” wanted nothing to do with him. ---

Even after worming he had digestive issues for at least a year or so, and during that time his farts (which were not infrequent) smelled just like Cheerios. _sniff sniff_ “Damn, I’m hungry! Do we have any cereal… oh gross.” ---

> [@Scubaqueen](#): > > seems the german shepherd puppy got very curious about what we were doing and came to investigate. dogs being dogs, he decided to stick his (very cold) nose into the proceedings - right between the DM’s buttcheeks. 😃 Thus ended the great strip Dungeons & Dragons experiment of 2008. . . – Given the appearance of some gamers, this is not necessarily an unhappy outcome. ---
