Dry spells are rare in the swampland, need to keep the alligators happy! Your superb notation on the smell of a wet dog reminds me of the movie ANNIE (original) when Daddy Warbucks walks in as the rescued dog is being washed --- It's a "distinctive" fragrance for sure -- He asked, "Why do I smell wet dog?" To the dogs it's not "awful" tho!

I woke up to RAIN, HONEST-TO-GOODNESS, and lots of it. And, naturally, the dogs had a great time rolling in the wet grass (and mud) and bringing all this mess back inside. But we are all happy now - except for the smell. Don't dogs smell awful when they are wet?
