Mulli of the MidWest

Is the Mulligan Compound Malodorous?

Several Dogster dogs have mentioned of late, the need for extra "cleaning." Professional cleansing, about the anal area. In fact, certain Dogsters mentioned being evicted from their homes until they returned from their Professional cleaning. Then there was that whole "Febreze" collar Rosette going around. Sigh, even I, Mulligan, and Pennie, too, received many of these Febreze collars. Were they supposed to be Febreze Belts?

I became rather concerned. I think the Mulligan Compound smells quite lovely. When there is a fully loaded Diaper Delight, the odor can be provocative, alluring even. With three lads in the house, there is an ever present odor reminiscent of the locker room at the YMCA. When Oldest Lad was swimming, indeed, the chlorine odor ever lingering often made one think there was both a locker room and pool here at the Mulligan Compound.

It of course never crossed my mind that ME, Mulligan, would emit a foul odor. I proceeded to search the Web. I immediately found a Site that was graphic, yet tasteful, in it's representation of the need by some dogs, but not ALL dogs, for extra cleansing. Oh, No! with Mom's Penchant for Picking, was she going to Bookmark this Site, don the Vinyl Gloves, and find a Pup to Prod? Would I, Mulligan, be Fingered for Fingering?

EGAD! I commenced to a thorough round of licking myself. I am quite certain that anything that may have lingered in a glandular nature about my hind quarters could not have survived such a thorough licking.

I don't think Pennie has anything to worry about. I am certain she tends to her own glands, as she attempts to tend to the glands of the entire family, if given the chance. After a shower, poor Little Lad races across the hallway to his bedroom with one hand across his front privates and one hand across his rear privates, in mortal fear that Pennie will accost him in the hallway with her cold nose and piercing tongue to make sure he "washed thoroughly" in the shower. Yes, since Pennie has been at the Mulligan Compound, incidences of nudity have almost completely desisted.

I must go cleanse myself more. I fear Mom may start worrying about glands again.
