That's a lot more pleasant than what crawled through my doggy-door. I woke up a while back with a big ol' ugly possum in bed with me.
I think I prefer the aliens.

No, but my dog did go out and get sprayed by one and then come get back in bed at about 3 a.m. Not the best way to start a day.

:eek: Ugh, I couldn't imagine!! Hope ya didn't have to go anywhere that day, lol!

Bet THAT smell took a while to neutralize....:rolleyes:
 
Well, I'll tell ya. Sometimes it depends on your perspective. A few years ago I lost my sense of smell: Zip. Nada. Couldn't smell anything. This was not good and a bit dangerous: gas, spoiled food, etc.. But then my wife and I were driving back across I-90 from Spokane to Seattle, a 300 mile killer boring drive I've done many times. She said to me, "You're not going to be able to smell this..." And I said, "Skunk!" I could smell it, and it was a welcome smell. It's been another couple of years and my sense of smell has returned to almost normal. Don't know what caused it to disappear; don't know what brought it back, but the skunk smell was petty nice at the time.

Curious: When this happened, did you go to a doctor and ask if they had any clues as to what happened -- or just live with it?

Glad you got your sniffer back, I have a friend that fell and bumped his head and lost his sense of taste for a few years. It sucked. He was miserable. He said everything tasted like eating paper.
And, yeah, I have to admit...sometimes that skunky smell is nice, at a distance.
A dog that's got that stuff on'em, at close range, smells almost like a pile of burning tires. It'll make your eyes water and your gag reflex kick in.

I actually did mention it to my doctor (She is so cute!) and she gave me the medical name for it and said she could send me to a specialist. That's when I decided to just live with it. I also consulted an acupuncturist, but when he said there were several things that could cause it and it would take a few visits I figured he just wanted a new patient, so I didn't go back to him either. I know my reaction may be irrational, but I think I would rather die than go through a huge medical trauma.
