Moments before I swallowed her cheeks whole

Our dog — all of him — smells like Doritos. Well, I guess any corn-based Frito-lay product could be substituted.

Re: “Thinking” entry for today:

Sick husbands everywhere appreciate your support.

And WHY must things smell like corn chips? I recall my cousin telling that she dated a guy because he had “a nice, Dorito-like odor.” Nice?

Mmmmm. . . baby drool. So much more appealing than doggie drool.

Today’s “Thinking” really touched me; brought tears to my eyes. I feel just the same about my love. So blessed. Somehow there’s a Thanksgiving prayer in that “Thinking,” Dooce. Holy. Sacred.

OK, that’s a little heavy for the venue, isn’t it? Let’s see . . . POOP! Of France!!!! Frito feet!

I was thinking about scrambled eggs for breakfast, but my daughter’s lusciously chewy cheeks are just screaming to be doused in butter and rolled in cinnamon-sugar. Thanks for the reminder that babies are the yummiest thing since……? Buffalo wings?

i love your wonderful pictures

“I love the smell of poptarts in the morning…smells like…victory.”

What sort of amalgamation of nasty/not so nasty sources does the frito-smell come from on dog feet? I mean, come on. Dogs step in a lot of shiznit (some of it their own).

Maybe that frito-smell is to smells like brown is to colors. I wonder whether the bottom of my shoes smell like that, too …

hmmmm *fish wonders pensively*

I’m sorry your sweetheart is sick- I’m sure he knows all the appropriate home remedies so I will dispense from leaving them all here. However, if you don’t have Traditional Medicinals Throat Coat tea, it’s a godsend when you’re all weak in the pookie. That’s a technical term in my family, by the way. WITP is sometimes close to death if there is no relief from a stuffed up nose.

DOS MUCHOS!!!!!! I’m about to scream with my mouth shut…she’s too much! Too much cute!

Heart melting perfection and innocence.

Okay, so now I’m gonna HAVE to smell my dogs’ feet when I get home. My curiosity is absoLUTEly getting the best of me. We have a huge yellow lab and a small spring-loaded terrier-type mutt…So, I’m wondering…will BOTH dogs have Frito feet? Will they smell the same? Or might one have Chili Cheese Frito feet? Also, how the HELL will I get these rambunctious varmints to sit still long enough to 1) actually get a good, um, *sniff* and 2) do so without getting myself killed with jumping, drooling doggie affection?

A friend of mine who is a veterinarian told me that that “Fritos” smell is a sign of a (usually minor) bacterial infection called Pseudomonas. He recommended washing the dog’s feet with a non-irritating “surgical scrub” like ChlorhexiDerm, twice a day for a week (between the toes, too). Call your vet or visit the pet store to get some surgical scrub to treat pseudomonas.

Huh. I guess the bottom of my shoes don’t have bacterial infestations. I’m relieved.

Smell My Feet Gimme Somethin Good To Eat

Dooce:

We on your comment page have decided that you should not give Leta any fritos because of the horrible bacterial infestation that is SURE TO RESULT.

sincerely,
Your Readers

Man – I know where my dog’s feet have been… you all are braver than I, huffing your pup’s toes. It’s bad enough that she jumps on our bed when we’re not looking and humps our pillows. We call it ‘Gina Dancing (there’s even a theme song for it, to the tune of the Chili Peppers’ “Rollercoaster”).

Still, here’s to suffering the slings and arrows of inappropriately lusty, Frito-smelling dogs and sleep-deprivingly sick (or snoring, fit to shake the paint off the walls) husbands… In the sagacious words of Huey Lewis, that’s the power of love.

How in the WORLD have I gone thru life without knowing the glory of NOSE SPRAY. Holy shit. why did someone wait until i was THRIRTY to tell me about this. Stuffed up.. take some nose spray and SLEEP THRU THE NIGHT! what a breakthru in medicine! It has it’s drawbacks, of course, but when you haven’t been sleeping because of a CRAPPY, shitty , dry, hot stuffed up nose… a good night of sleep thanks to my little target-brand bottle of nose spray (that was $1.67!!!!) is a GODSEND. hmm.. will i get smited for relating nose spray to god?

Anne: could you and D Brown take this outside? Your upsetting the baby.

Fish – I’m so ashamed. I can’t believe I just used Dooce’s comments page to fight about the odor of dog feet. Sigh. I’m not having a good week.

Forgive me, all.

Let’s get back to talking about Leta and Chuck and Heather’s funny, funny writing.

bow wow wow yippie yo yippie yay

Wow, she is so cute. How does she feel about long distance relationships? My 12 month old would love to gobble up those cheeks, too!

Matchmaking already, and I’ve told him he can’t date till he’s 30.

Wow Christy. That pic is screamin cheese.
