Not in, uhm, the parts *he* tends to sniff, of course. I simply like to put my nose against his head and "smell" him. His head has a nice scent, for a dog—not too strong, not icky, except when he rolls in weird stuff on the ground, that is. Perhaps it's also because it's a aprt of his body he can't lick ;) I've often wondered if it's not due to the fact that Vulcain is now comfortable at home. When we got him, he was quite smelly, and a friend once emitted the hypothesis that maybe it was because he was stressed and nervous, and that his odor changed when he started to feel more at ease. I'm not sure about that, but the odor did change, indeed. Alright, enough revealing of dirty dog-person secrets now.
