Human: Smells like the poop of some herbivore, possibly like elephant
dung. Saving grace is that it could smell like the poop of a carnivore.

Dogs: 4 PAWS UP! WAAY UP!

The slightly longer version:

Opened the lid and thought to myself. Hmmm... what's the big deal?
This is not so bad. By then, the icky odor molecules had traveled to my
nose, and boy, was it bad.

I let Pan lick the lid. Much to my amazement, Khan came over, sniffed
her mouth, and licked her flews. Never seen him do that. Never thought
I'd see him do that. Heck, he probably never thought he'd do that. Ever.

Put both dogs in stays as I put the food down, as I had to run up to get
some supplements for them. I've never heard such a ruckus before. I
was *clearly* torturing them. Got a lot of protest about how mean and
nasty I was being, that I wouldn't let them inhale that nasty stuff NOW.

Never seen otherwise polite eaters chow down like this either.

Notes to self:

When the vile and disgusting are on the dinner menu, do not put the dogs
in a stay on slippery surfaces. The puddle o' drool was ankle deep.

When the vile and disgusting are on the menu, do NOT let a happy and
relieved dog give you kisses. No matter how much you love them.
