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.

It warmed my heart when you would open up in my hand and crawl around.
Sometimes you would dig in the sand and I wouldn't find you for days.
I tried to make sure you always had water and food.
I regret not checking up on you every day.
I'm so sorry.
I had hoped that you would have lived for longer.
I wish that I had been a better caretaker.
I wish I had taken pictures of you when I had the chance.
You will always be in my heart.
I will never forget you.
I hope that you enjoyed your time in the home I provided for you.
I wish you could have stayed longer.
Rest In Peace Greena
I Love You And I Will Miss You Dearly
