i finally smell it...

momofedee · 11-04-2012, 11:31 PM

I have read people saying their bassets smell, specially their feet while they sleep smelling like fritos. Edee has not been a smeller, just a typical dog smell. But 5 minutes ago Edee was snoozing on her pillow by the couch and instead of smelling hound farts, I smelt fritos! I have a real basset hound!

LOL! You might find that FeBreeze is your best friend...I spray the house down at least once a day.

Can somebody please explain to me what Frito's are, I need to know the equivalent for the Uk, I always say Bella smells of biscuits, but then she's not a proper Basset so she should smell of bagels

LOl I asked the same thing. Fritos are a kind of corn chip. I know what you mean by the digestive biscuit - wonder if our N. American friends know that smell? It seems our hounds are sweet and across the pond they're savoury

I think Digestive Biscuit = Graham Cracker, or so I believe. Benson is half wotsit half popcorn smell. The longer between baths the more wotsit he becomes.

Rofl I didn't say digestive biscuit, but that is exactly what she smells like, when she doesn't smell of fox poo.

Must be something in the water.

Gasp! You don't have Fritoes in the UK? lol I always thought digestive biscuits were, well, biscuits, but they look like a kind of cookie to me. Am I right?

Never seen a Frito here - maybe they have them in the food hall at Harrods

Yep a digestive Biscuit is a bland cookie that you have with tea. The nicer ones are covered in chocolate

Reminds me of when my husband and I first got together (British girl, American guy) and we'd have to translate things like biscuit and cookie etc.
