Our dog Vera is 13.5 and has developed a major flatulence problem over the past year or two. It's pretty much the most overwhelming, disgusting, and penetrating smell you can imagine. We've tried giving her doggy sweet potatoes, lighting candles, and making her sleep across the room, but nothing seems to tame her odor. What can you do? The only real solution we've come up with is to hide our faces in our shirts for a few minutes. When you hear the "pfffft" sneak out you only have a second or two to take your last breath of non-toxic air before you have to duck and cover...

| Vera - so innocent-looking, yet so noxious |
I've come to realize that old people and animals start to become more and more annoying (and in this case smelly), so that it's just a
little easier to let them go when that day comes. It's hard to face the reality that you'll have to make the difficult decision to put your dog down some day, but it's comforting to know that your life will be easier in a few small ways. Thanks, Mother Nature...and sorry Mom and Dad - just be glad this post isn't about you.
