Charlie and the Fish Factory

My husband, Charlie and myself live in coastal BC in an area that is known for its Salmon spawning. Of course this leads to dead Salmon everywhere at certain times of the year. This rash of dead fish brings lots of Bald Eagles, King Fishers and Seagulls to our area. While the bird watching attracts plenty of tourists it's not the birds my Dane is after. Like so many dogs ours LOVES dead fish. This is a problem we have had since day one. Not only will he roll in the dead flesh but he also loves to eat it. For anyone who doesn't know, this is not only disgusting but causes upset stomachs, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Earlier today on our afternoon walk we hit a trail we don't normally walk. The sun was shining, birds chirping and folks of all ages out enjoying the warmth. Since it is almost April most of the dead fish have been eaten by birds, however, my Charlie has a nose like no other and sure enough he found a carcase. I wasn't to concerned at first being that it was just bones he was trotting around so proudly. After a while he gave it up and meandered over to me. Much to my dismay I realized that not only did he have bits of dead fish hanging from his drooping jowl but his entire coat was covered in rotting, dead fish flesh. We came straight home and right up into the bath. An hour later, two lather rinse and repeats and I can still smell the dead fish lingering throughout my house!!

Charlie is now resting on my sofa, (getting it wet) content, dreaming of where and when he might find his next fish.....
