Is it normal normal to fart next to my dog?
I have a Shih Tzu named Dusty. I've had her for 5 years and she's a great dog.
One day a year ago I was laying on the floor next to Dusty watching a football game and I farted. Dusty seemed startled by the fart and looked around nervously, which I thought was funny.
After the first incident, I started inching myself closer to Dusty whenever I was about to fart. Dusty always gets a startled look on her face, which I think is hilarious. Last week I was laying in bed and I threw my bed sheet on top of Dusty and farted, creating a "Dutch Over," which Dusty had to deal with.
I think this practice is funny. I cannot really tell, but Dusty probably thinks these are good gags.
Is it normal to fart next to my dog so she has to smell them?
