For the first time in 6 or 7 weeks, it was cool enough last night to open the windows instead of running the A/C. Before bed, I opened up all the windows downstairs and upstairs to make sure there was good circulation.
That part was successful; house was 72 degrees when I got up this morning and very comfortable. Maybe I’ll even weep a little less when I open this month’s power bill. Except, what’s that horrible smell?
Nearly gagging, I think, “Aww, man. Did one of the dogs have an accident?” The smell is omnipresent throughout the house, but after checking everywhere, no obvious source could be found.
As I stepped outside with the dogs, the stink became much thicker, and I realized what I smelled inside was coming from outside. The whole neighborhood reeks of dead animal, and now so does my whole house.
Update: Just called animal control, and they’re going to come out and try to find/remove it.
Your logic sucks. They wrote they didn’t realize what the smell is. Their crotch would have a familiar smell with variations depending on things eaten recently.
I appreciate you sharing your own experience but it’s possible the odor could be a new and heretofore unsmelled variant.
True, I’ve missed the possibility of a new sickness affecting body odors, or schizophrenia with perception of same old ones changing.
