Oh to Have a Dog's Nose...

This gorgeous photo was part of a "local favorite pet" display in a Winthrop Art Gallery this weekend. So perfect. We humans have 5 million scent receptors in our snouts, Dachshunds have 125 million, Beagles and German Shepherds have about 225 million, and the legendary Bloodhound has about 300 million! Can you IMAGINE smelling what a Bloodhound smells?  Me neither...but I bet you will love this quote from my Dog Calendar:  "Have Confidence:  If I can sniff, I mean really sniff a dog's butt for upwards of ten minutes only to realize I have the wrong guy and still walk away as if nothing were wrong, then no human should ever feel awkward about anything ever again."
