How would you translate a dogs reaction to it's own flatulence?

When my dog farts, particularly inconvenient when we have company round I might add…. she looks around in apparent ignorance, or does she? Not having a clue what just happened, but knows something occurred, i’m not convinced! My feelings are this, she’s basically saying that it wasn’t her rectum the offending flatulence originated from. The odour, which smells so repugnant i’m sure it could strip the paint off the arse end of a ship, has by now made itself at home in the nasal cavity of all that are present. Yet even now she firmly denies responsibility, believing implicitly that someone else in the room must be the guilty party. Those are my thoughts & by gum, I ain’t gonna change em! An unorthodox query it’s true but hey, c’est la vie!

My dog always looks shocked and appalled,as well she should as they are always shocking and appalling.
Make her stop!
@lucillelucillelucille Yeah it’s not good manners to blame others. Stick a cork up there would be one method :¬)
@ucme I would but,I don’t want to keep a loaded cannon in the house.
@cockswain Quite possibly so. Although the look in their eyes suggests something perhaps a little more sinister….who knew?
I think @hawaii_jake is close…but I think it’s more like “Who always lets these ducks in right when I cut one…and where the hell do they disappear to?”
I have a dog that eats cat turds and vomit. I don’t think she cares at all about farts. Really stupid, sort of cute animal.
I’ve only noticed our baby Jade doing it once so far, it was a little squeek of a noise and she turned her head all the way round and stared fixedly at her own little bottie then leaned forward and sniffed and wrinkled her wee nose, looked at me in disgust and flounced off with a backwards glance that screamed “Mummy! how COULD you!!” hilarious, adorable and soooooooooooooo cute!!!! I genuinely don’t believe she understands lol. Cute, cute cute.
@cockswain Oh my dog will eat anything & everything regardless if it’s good for her or not. She’s an eating machine so she is. Maybe that’s why her farts offend so much. She too is dumb but uber cute.
@ucme hey, are they showing the football conference championships on TV over there?
As usual @bunnygrl is right on the money. Good stuff m’dear :¬)
@cockswain Oh absolutely yes they are. Who are your team?
I’ve been a huge Packers fan for a long time now. This is about as good as it gets for me.
I reckon you lot should kick Chicago’s arse. Who would you prefer in the Superbowl, assuming you get there, Steelers or Jets?
I didn’t like that Urlacher pick right there, but with Todd Collins in now, I’m feeling we’ve got an easy win now.
You know, both those AFC teams are solid. I think I’d like to take down the Steelers though.
I will be rooting for the Packers bud, good luck!
You’re a good man @ucme !
It’s a gift I know ;¬} Hey it beats talking about dog farts any day. Love my sports.
When I was little, the dog we had used to leave the room after an especially stinky one.
THE PACKERS ARE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL!!!! THE PACKERS ARE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL!!!
I only read this thread to get a good laugh. And I did. Thanks and GQ.
Oh! I don’t have a dog and have yet to be around one that let out a fart.
I am impressed. By the funniest question I have read in a long time and by the perspicacity of your dog.
This is the absolute opposite of that apocryphal anecdote “Whenever Mrs McGillicuddy breaks wind, the dog leaves the room.”
@Seelix, are you sure it was the dog?
To add a little scholarship to this discussion, enjoy this collection of 17th century works recently published online by the British Library or the Bodleian in Oxford, leading off with The Censure of the Parliament Fart
I kid you not, we were just discussing your question here at the @forestGeek / @mcbealer household a few moments ago… and just now, almost right on cue… Gertrude farted. We errupted in laughter, and she quickly got up and came over to say hello. Nice.
For the most part, she usually just wags her tail at our horror. Her farts sound just like the brakes on a garbage truck. Pssssst…
@mcbealer That made me laugh, thanks! My dog’s reaction is a complete ignorance that anything had happened. He who smelt it, dealt it, I suppose.
Every time my dog lets one rip, I give her this annoyed (yet with a smile on my face) look…and I always get the feeling that her response is something like..“hey, its ok, I’m stupid remember?” kind of look, along with a lot of “I’m sorry” kisses right after she feels like she’s done something wrong…...So I don’t ever really get that mad with her. I’d be nothing without my stupid<3 (she has a lot of nicknames) lol.
My dog has been known to run out of the room after farting – as if shocked. His farts are particularly shocking though so perhaps he has the right idea.
@AmWiser & @anartist Thank you & of course that was the sole intent of my question, to encourage a bit of daft fun & laughter. I mean i’d have thought that was a no brainer really. Dog farts through to superbowl via a few laughs plus 4, yes 4 GQ’s….i’ll settle for that :¬)
Well on the odd occasion it has happened with one of my dogs, she immediately jumps up, runs to the other end of the room, then stands staring at us, as if to say ‘why did you do that’
She is denying ALL responsibility
I don’t think my dog knows what it is yet. She likes to walk first on the trail and when she floats one out just keeps on going like nothing happened. Most of the time it seems we are in a rocky gorge of some kind where the acoustics are good and bouncy and I will retort; “Ahh you farted again, nice to know I’m out with a lady”. Wonder how many others hear that from afar, in relative safety?
