    That sounds so sweet, and I am not even on paw-sniffing terms with any dogs.

    I can’t picture where that dog walks to get paws that smell of popcorn and corn chips….maybe the living room floor after a child’s sleep-over party? And then ambergris and ylang ylang….sounds exotic. I would like to see what kind of dog Chorizo is as it doesn’t sound like it digs holes in the lawn or walks through the mud.

      Honestly I always think dog paws smell like corn chips. Ylang, not so much.

      But Chorizo (who you can see on their instagram) is a mini dachshund.

        That’s a very cute dog. Interesting about corn chip paws. I feel like someone has probably made a study about the scent of dog paws somewhere…just glad it’s paws and not breath.

          Ha!

          Also might be something about the smell of US corn chips??? Anyway it is common here:

    This is funny! I wonder if the candlemaker/scent house knows that if your dogs paws smell of corn chips or something similar, it’s most likely due to a fungal infection. Dogs perspire via panting and sweaty paws. Add licking paws to the mix and your dog probably has a fungal overgrowth that gives off the salty/popcorn/chip odor…sorry! 🤣
