Or a bouquet of freesia, for that matter.
On the other hand, I have a friend who swears that all puppies' paws smell like popcorn. I never understood that (never having owned a dog--or smelled a puppy's paws, for that matter).
Maybe it's part of the doggy smell. ;-)
That's what I think too. And if it doesn't smell like a dog... what *does* it smell like? French fries? That's too weird! Who wants a dog that smells like French fries?
Lack of a doggy smell? But isn't that what makes a dog a dog?? ;-)
What an awesome word.
A dog breed that "comes from Bavaria... The name comes from the German word Schnauze, or muzzle.... In the eighteenth century (it) was a carriage dog and a watchdog in stables. Since it has some terrier blood, it was also used as a hunter of rodents.... Among the schnauzer's good qualities, two are noteworthy: its longevity (schnauzers usually live about fifteen years) and its lack of a doggy smell." (Simon & Schuster's Guide to Dogs, 1980)
