I Smell Like Puppies

Today I went to lunch, just like I do every day. Everything about my lunch break was completel normal. Until I got in my car to go back to work.

As I was backing out of my parking space, I noticed an odd smell that wasn't there when I left the office. At first I thought it was wet dog, and even let out a Daddy Warbucks-esque, "Why do I smell WET DOG?" But after a few more sniffs, I knew it wasn't wet dog that I was smelling. It was puppies. And after I got back to the office, I sat down at my desk and realized that the puppy smell was on me.

I'm not particularly offended by puppy smell, I'm just a little perplexed at how my car managed to start smelling like puppies in the fifteen minutes it took me to eat my sandwich. The doors were locked and the windows were cracked (it's an unseasonable 85° outside right now), so I'm pretty sure that no puppies got in my car while it was unattended.

I thought I might just be paranoid and that my hyper-acute olfactory sense was just messing with me. So without explaining why, I asked a trusted co-worker to smell me. He looked at me a little strange and then leaned in and took a whiff.

"Did you get a puppy?" he queried.

Great. I always knew I was part bloodhound, but I never thought that I'd smell like one.

So.....where'd it come from? My car most pleasantly smells like maneur in the morning, thanks to the new mulch that stinks up the whole universe outside our front door.
