Covid test!

 Like a lot of bully breeds (or so I understand), our George tends to be.....flatulent. He's the first dog I've ever had who regularly passes gas so noxious it can clear a room. It's been worse lately, possibly due to extra bites of "people food".

George going through the Bojangles drive thru with me for breakfast last week. 

Yesterday was particularly.........windy. All of a sudden you'd smell something horrible and Georgie would look slightly guilty. The second time it happened and I said, "Whew!!!!" and went to leave the room, my husband started laughing and said, "Look on the bright side, since you can smell it you probably don't have Covid!" 

So now whenever George farts we yell, "COVID TEST!!"  like a couple of third-graders.

    Boxers have the same issue, and sometimes it seems like Biggie is non-stop.

    Cats sometimes make a little toot too but they would NEVER look guilty about it. Or even in a million years acknowledge that it had happened.
    One day recently my youngest grandson was definitely having a little gas issue. "Levon, are you tooting?" I asked him.
    "No. I just pretending to toot," he said.
    He's a good pretender.
    I knew a woman who called farts "burbs in the pants." She was a lady.

    I'd never thought of that. As you say, an instant covid test - and it's free!

    Wonderfully funny, Jennifer. My cat's box is in my studio. If he needs to use, he stops and stares at me until I leave. Once I didn't, and ever since there is an air freshener in his little closet.

    That's hilarious. Penelope has horrible gas, too. Sometimes I light a candle to help cover up the odor.

    Love,
    Janie

    HA! I love this! Olga's farts always scare her -- she jumps down from the chair like she's done something wrong.

    When you love them they drive you crazy, because they know they can.
