The downside of dogs. . .


Since we have lived in Hawaii . . . in a condo. . . 22 stories up. . . with not much in the way of parks or greenery really close by. . . we haven't had many dogs. . . Now here at the hotel, we have two. . .
We love them, they are great companions, and they provide endless entertainment and companionship. . . Bejuca and Mini-b are great, house-broken and very well-behaved. . . The sole complaint that we can muster up is. . . gas. . . Particularly Mini-b, but Bejuca has joined in the parade of noxious fumes as well. . . You will be rubbing a belly and playing with them, or it can be the middle of the night when they are asleep, or they can be looking up at you with big, watery expectant eyes, and -- have mercy -- it will curl the nose hairs worse than any gym locker room that you can imagine. . . We do not feed them a lot from the table (hardly anything as we don't want them to get into the habit of begging) and they have been on the same food for a while, but any suggestions, thoughts, would be much appreciated. . .

Lucy... Mark and I were roommates for a year in college. If these dogs are emitting odors that bother even HIM... you have my sincerest condolences!

before we even had the dogs, this was a problem...and now that we have the dogs i think he's using them as the excuse for the emissions of odor...but we all know who the guilty party is, huh?
