Do You Smell? – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: Lady Human, do you smell?

Me: You mean do I stink?

Sweetie: Well, of course you stink. You’re a human. No, I mean can you smell stuff?

Me: Yeah, but not a fraction as well as y’all can.

Doodlebug: Can you smell when somebody you know has passed by a spot?

Me: Only if they’re wearing perfume. Or, well, doing something else.

Sweetie: Can you scent when someone is in a bad mood and you should stay away?

Me: No, but I sure wish I could.

MoonCat: Can you scent when the air is stale because bulldogs have been opening their wide mouths too much, polluting the air? I sure can.
