I kinda like the way dogs smell

Me too. All my dogs had that puppy smell on their paws. :heart:

When I get close to one of my sheltie pals, I think his paws smell like popcorn!  :laugh:

I love the new puppy smell.  It's unique.

Aww soph :hug: I often wonder what I will do when it's Destiny's time. She's 14 now and I can't even fathom not having her with me every day. I've had to put pets down before, but she's different.

It's horrible isn't it. Flo was almost 14 too. I'd had her since I was 8, practically all my life. or almost all of my life I can remember properly.

Sounds weird and I wouldn't have expected it, but getting Jess so soon after has actually really helped me I think. Instead of everything being a really sad reminder or Flo like everything was when my friend died, things remind me of Jess. Obviously I still think about Flo alll the time, but not in that horrible constant way I used to feel reminded of Sophie when she died. obviously a cat and a person are different, but I think if I didn't have Jess now I would have coped with thios a lot lot worse. Also Lily has helped.

I agree. It gives you something new to focus on and you can get to knew Jess for her own quirks.

Yeah she is reallly different to Flo

I still call her for (or something I used to call Flo a lot) sometimes and it always shocks me when I do, like shit what have I done lol, but it's not like a replacement for Flo because they're completely different

Don't worry about it. I've called my kids by each others names and they're opposite genders. :laugh:

Budgies also smell nice. Like a round, mild, aromatic scent.
After bathing, they get all poofy, and nice to grab and sniff :)
