Conversations with a husband No. 5
Posted on May 18, 2008 in Conversations, The Home Front by Jay5 Comments »

Perfume200Out walking the dogs today in the park, we saw a woman with a magnificent boxer straining at the leash. As she passed us on the path, I was overcome with a cloud of cloying perfume. It made me cough.

Me: I’ve often wondered what the dogs think of that.

OH: What?

Me: That horrible, heavy perfume. Didn’t you smell it?

OH: Oh yeah. Perhaps they do it on purpose.

Me: What?

OH: You know, so they can find them again.

Me: So they can find the dogs?

OH: No, maybe they do it so the dogs can find them again. Like .. for when they’ve fallen down a mine or something.

And I thought the poor dog was just trying to get away from the smell.

    LOL, I agree with th dog, get away as much as possible. I detest it when people wear to much perfume or cologne. There’s this very creepy guy at work who wears to much, and he always comes in and leans on my desk to talk to me. Gives me a sneezing fit every time which I’ve tried to aim at him as a hint. Hasn’t worked yet ~sigh~.
    Hope to see you again soon, I’m off to read your posts about Johnny Depp :) .

    I think it’s as anti-social as smoking in enclosed spaces. I only wear the two perfumes shown in the picture; Valentino and Ruban d’Orange. Both of them fairly light, and I use them sparingly. Naturally I smell delightful.

    Seriously, I hate the musky, heavy, patchouli based scents. They’re fine in their place, but that isn’t the supermarket, the office, or anywhere near me. LOL!

    Another Johnny Depp fan? You’re very welcome in my little corner!

    the dog probably was trying to get away..shame on us humans. lol. that must have been some strong perfume. just to walk the dog, you think. maybe the person was trying to attract something else.

    Natural, I was thinking the same!

    It made me think about the effect on animals though, and since I was getting ready to go riding this morning, I deliberately didn’t use perfume after my shower. I figured the horse was going to have enough to think about without fighting waves of Valentino!

    A Pet is like a rainbow between a mans good side and his heart I guess!
