Maybe it was fox pooh. I have to say the thought never occurred to me. I was going to use the power of google to see if I could find the difference, but was scared of what else I'd find if I typed in 'faeces' to image search. I did find out though, that if your dog rolls in fox pooh, apparently tomato ketchup is very good at washing it off. And it gets rid of the smell. So that's my handy hint for the day. Jen
