Our dogs love to roll in stuff found in the yard. The stinkier, the better. And nothing gives them a bigger puppy smile than four legs wiggling up in the air.
Tonight, one of them might have raised the standard another notch.
Dog, you stink.

Dogs do it to hide their scent. Our beagle found some buried fish once; EVERY DAY she pulled out another one. Oy.
My wife's cat stinks, BAD! Wifey won't let me give him a bath because she's afraid it may have an accident. Can you Fabreeze an animal and not go to jail?
I hauled mine out to my parents house a couple of years ago. Anna, the rottweiler, found a deer carcass to roll in. 
I almost puked trying to get them clean enough to go back in the van. That might be the day I swore I would never have a large dog. Now we have a chihuahua mix and a yorkie mix.

So you live in Iceland then?
My dog rolled in fresh tar once. ONCE.
I used to have some special 2,4-D herbicide that smelled of some wretched fish stank. I was spraying weeds in the yard and my dog ran up and did a barrel roll into it.
Cats aren't supposed to stink... is it sick?

We had a dog Molly Many years ago when we lived next to a horse farm. We just gave her a bath. What does she do? Barrel rolls right through a huge pile of crap. She wondered why no one would pet her. No, that smell you've discovered princess doesn't smell good. At all.

That's what I was thinking.
It may have found something in the yard to roll around in, though...
My friend's bulldog can stink so hard that deer carcasses come into the house and roll around in him.
Well, okay not really. But bathing him is always a huge production because he is afraid of the bathtub, and he gets so scared/nervous that usually pukes all over the bathroom when it's bathtime. One would think that he'd get over it eventually

No, just lazy.
When I was a teenager, we had a blond lab who loved to roll in stuff. The worst was when we were camping and she slinked off to roll in cow crap. She came bounding back into camp with the biggest dumb dog-smile and her whole back/hind quarters covered in fresh green manure.
We made her sit in the ice cold creek that was a little ways outside of our camp so we could wash the nastiness off. She was not thrilled LOL but that was the last time she rolled in cow poop (that trip) 
Our schnauzer doesn't usually roll in anything, but if he sneaks or successfully begs any greasy food, he starts dropping nuclear farts all over the house.
The toy poodle that lives with us has tried to scare off skunks out of the yard..............twice.
Now that is stink!
Awww, so tell me again about your dogs that roll in horse poo?

My Dad had a Fiest (AKA American Rat Terrier) that would attack anything that moved on "his" turf. It was at least once a year we had to deal with the skunk smell. But we only had one porcupine incident. I guess pain was far more motivational than stink...
But he was a little bad-ass and a great dog...
In reply to Lesley:
Funny, my wife's horse does the same thing, constantly.
Hercules never manages to small as bad as dogs do though...
In reply to Lesley:
That is a lot of area to scrub. So is that what those "chunks" are on your horse's head?
Hercules is a fantastic name for a horse. It's mostly mud, with some dried poo. It gets better once mucky spring is over, and they shed their thick coats.
Some great stories here.
Growing up on a horse farm with some number of dogs all through my childhood the worst we ever had to deal with was our German Shepard came across a skunk in the back field. Warning odor did nothing to deter her (I actually watched this happen!) and she tried to bite the skunk. On the butt!
Poor dumb dog got sprayed directly IN THE MOUTH.
She stunk for a week and had to sleep in a stall in the barn to keep her from the house.
My lovable but stinky dog Wilco never messes with skunks, and he's terrified of possums and raccoons, but he likes to go out and find stinky stuff to roll in, and sometimes taste, like its his job.
One time the nearby wildlife refuge had drained one of their ponds to deal with an invasive plant species problem. Most of the fish in that pond were just carp, so they left them to die when the pond was drained. I used to let Wilco go off the leash when we walked around the pond, but after he decided to run across 20 yards of mud to roll in a pile of rotten carp carcasses he lost that privilege for good.
