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.

Fluffy came into my life when i was 4. She went on to give me some of the happiest years of my life. Fluffy brought a special light to the family bringing us more together. She would give us great laughs. I still remember that road trip we took from NY to florida leaving her mark on different states along the road...it was fun with her there. She just had this power that made you smile when you looked at her adorable little face. Fluffy seemed healthy but then she stopped eating. My father took her to the vet and we found out she had a tumor in the stomach. The vet said the best would be to put her to sleep because the operation would be too hard on her. I remember my last night with her was christmas night, I kissed her little pale paw and said goodnight. The next morning my dad took her to the vet to put her to sleep, i wasnt strong enough to go. Not a day goes by that i dont shed a tear for my beloved. My smile is an open wound without her.
Mami, papi, Carlos, Alison, and Alejandra miss you baby, the house feels empty without you.
Have fun in heaven!
