I was so bent I neglected to mention what brought this problem to attention. Sure there was the odor, but that had barely scratched my consciousness when poochy leapt through the door. You see, my dog is a kisser. He loves to surprise people with a quick lick of their lips. Oh, and there absolutely are exceptions to the saying that a dog's mouth is cleaner than our own.
The horror. Tphtphtph! 
Will, I'm mildly surprised you didn't pick up and run with the zune mention.
