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.

I was so happy the day I brought you home.
You were my first pet that I had to take responsibility for.
I really wanted you to live for a long time.
I gave you a nice home, and I fed you and played with you.
Sometimes I slacked a little bit on cleaning your cage.
A few days before your passing, I noticed that you seemed different -- you were moving slowly, but I figured you were just tired.
I regret not taking you to a vet.
You will always be in my heart.
Sometimes I imagine that you are still here, and pet you.
You will always be with me in spirit.
Rest In Peace Coffee
I Love You And Miss You Dearly
