Why must my dog roll on yucky stuff??

Dogs do that, I know coz my crazy ass dog, Ranger does that a lot.  Probably just to piss the crap outta me.

I know dogs roll on dead animals or even on other animals’ poop so they, the dogs can leave their scent there, like how they mark their territory on a tree, or what my friend says “leaving their calling card”.  Also, I read they do that so they could mask their own scent and another I read is dogs to that to tell the other animals they found something interesting!!!!   Animals, they are some creatures, alright. 

Ranger is one of these animals from the wolf family….!!!  That fella did it 2 weeks ago.  He was smelling something on our way back from a walk, he was sniffing for quite some time and I started to pull on the leash.  He then moved a little and BAM, rolled on the grass he was sniffing.  I kept pulling his leash to get him up.  Boy did he stink, stunk of dead animal.  Cilaka betul.

Bathe him as soon as we got home.  He sure knows he is deep doodoo coz he was very still and did what I told him to do which normal he will do the opposite of what i want him to do. 

This early morning, he almost did it again.  It’s at a different spot than the previous incident.  This time I was watching him and as soon as I saw him crouching down, I pulled on his leash real hard which really jolted him off that spot.  From then on each time I see him sniffing a spot for a while, I started tugging at the leash and if no response, I just pulled him away.  I’m sure whoever sees me doing that will stay I’m a dog abuser. Walking the dogs is suppose to be stress free, no need to sort out any acne treatment but I think from now on I really have to. The other two dogs have not give me much problems when I walk them, just this Ranger, the angel, that’s what DB calls him and yet he does not like to walk Ranger.
