Pet Tip
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.

Tchutchuka, Little Tchu, Tchuky, Tchutchu, Nega, filha... so many names for one little dog.
You were my little friend, my sweet, my lovely companion, minha filha do coração. I never thought you would be gone so soon, so suddenly, but now you are in a better place, where you won't feel any pain, where you can run and play, make friends, sniff and explore and be free. My heart is broken now you are gone but I am happy that you are in a special and wonderful place where all your dreams are true.
Over the Rainbow Bridge.
One day I will be there, waiting for you to come and get me so we can be together once more to play and play forever and ever and never more be apart again.
Love you always,
Damien
