paul mansfield photography/Moment/Getty Images What is it about the smell of a dog fart that makes it feel like your nose is going to turn inside out? My dog, Zelda, is a beautiful, patient, loving creature, but she is known around our house as the ass-ripper extraordinaire for her ability to clear a room with a single toot. If you have a pup, chances are you know the feeling, and that the worst of their flatulence seems to happen in their sleep.

Universal Pictures “Strong Southern women” is basically a Hollywood movie genre at this point: Steel Magnolias, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood… I could keep going.
