My dogs, being gross, will sometimes steal my husbands boxers and pants, make a bed out of them and sleep with their noses right in the crotch area. I know they are smelling a days worth of farts, ball sweat and who knows what else. Never understood it other than "Hmm, dogs are gross and love stink." Now I know why! Apparently, dogs love many layers of stink and now know more about my husband and how he spent his day than I do!

Cool.

But you know one thing I have always wondered...why is it that even though dogs have such a superior sense of both smell and hearing...

you can still sneak up on them and scare the crap out of them?

I noticed that I can't sneak up on my dogs unless they are really into what they are doing. If they are out in the yard sniffing something you could let a bomb off by them and they wouldn't notice providing the bomb didn't release a more interesting scent.

I have also noticed I can't sneak up on them if they are into smelling or chewing something they know they aren't supposed to be into. It's like they know they are doing bad, cannot help themselves, and are listening for my approach so they can run off and pretend they had nothing to do with the bad.
