Dog is a Crotch Sniffer – Pet tip 245
Most dog owners are aware that dog noses are extremely sensitive. This is due to the quantity of olfactory or ‘smell’ receptors in a dog’s nose. Whereas humans have around five million olfactory receptors, dogs have two hundred and twenty million. This makes their noses exponentially more sensitive than a human’s. Most times a dog’s sensitive nose works to our benefit. All kinds of dogs are used as service dogs to help humans find missing people, sniff out explosives, drugs etc. They can smell people coming from quite a distance and alert us to their presence. There are some embarrassing occasions however, when a dog’s nose is just too sensitive from our human perspective. Most notably this occurs when dogs try to sniff humans in their private areas.
This behaviour is a common one in dogs and equally common is the fact that it upsets most dog owners. The reason some dogs sniff at a human’s private parts is the same reason they sniff the private parts of other dogs. We know that when they smell other dogs in this way they can tell the sex, rank (is the dog more dominant or submissive) age and other information about the dog.

My cat Eddie. She was born on June 6, 1990 which just so happened to be my Grandma Hebert's birthday and that is why she was named Eddie because that was my grandma's name. She was always such a sweet cat unless there was other animals around. She would always comfort me when I wasn't in a upbeat mood. She used to always sit on my lap when I would play on the computer. I loved taking pictures of her because she was so beautiful. Now she can be in Heaven and sit on my grandparents lap while they pet her. I really miss her.
