When you find a manky bit of driftwood from the peat layer and sniffing just isn鈥檛 enough,馃ぎ
Did you know dogs have a special little dot on the roof of their mouth called the Jacobsen鈥檚 organ? It joins to their olfactory system with their nose and sinus so sometimes if a smell needs more information your dog will pick the item up. Not everything is eaten and some things so go back on the floor after a good crunching of course 馃槉 馃悤
After Christmas there is now 6 elves that visit you each night and give you something. This would go on until January. On the 26th, Auto Mowing would visit and give you a ride-on mower. On the 27th, Cowbell would visit and give you a cowbell. On the 28th, Marriage License would visit and legally marry you to a random person in your neighborhood. On the 29th, Sniffy would visit and give you a door knob. On the 30th, Jesus would visit and give you wine. Finally on the 31st, Window Licker would visit and lick your windows.
Like just a good sorffle of scents with the ol' sniffley wiggler !!
That special person's smell. The one that you just can't get enough of. Just burying your nose where ever just so you can sniff to your heart's content.
Just the smell of a lover and the joy of sniffing them all over like a funky cat
more and more i become of the opinion my dogs are not reactive to strange dogs but in fact it is unreasonable to expect them to NOT be reactive when the dogs we pass are unwalked, understimulated rural hellions that thrash at the windows of their houses, bark at us and follow us for entire lengths of properties, snarl at us, run at us with tense body language etc.
is this because a neighbor (who does skijor!) moved in half mile down the road from us a half a year ago with the most polite, unreactive dog that my dogs glance calmly at as they walk by? as it is unrestrained (no underground fence) on the property? absolutely is.
is this because a few years ago a neighbor's very nice pitbull mix got out and when it walked up to us with polite calm body language my dogs reacted just as calm and we were able to walk this dog home? absolutely is.
like i am a human woman and have lived in areas with much larger populations than i do now. i remember being followed by strangers, yelled at by strangers in aggressive ways. it made me tense and yes...reactive in those moments to ensure my own safety and needs were met. but was it my fault for having to react that way? To call friends and family and be on the phone any time that i walked alone? to check in when i got to where i was going? to bring pepper spray and iron knuckles to walk less than 10 minutes away from home? I don't think it is. Rather it's the failure that allows that behavior towards me which is at fault. i should not have had to carry those things with me. or call a single soul.
same with my dogs. my dogs aren't reactive, i'm just the only person who walks my damn dogs in my rural neighborhood. even though we can walk for 4+ miles either way on safe dirt roads out of our driveway before we reach pavement. nobody else. walks. their. fucking. dogs. yes i manage my dogs behaviors, it can be embarrassing when they get riled up, but know what? it is not their fault so many other dogs fucking SUCK. and it is not those dogs' fault that they suck either. i encountered more politely behaved dogs when i lived in the suburbs and city than i do now because those dogs at least had some sort of experience with being around other dogs (passing them on the sidewalk even) out of necessity. Rural people truly just throw their dogs outside and expect that to be enough. if you're lucky they install a little underground fence that will maybe keep fido in the yard (like uwu WE don't want to have a look at a fence and we're going to make all our neighbors GUESS if our dog might run into the road at them uwu).
Not much salmon slammin going on right now, but there's still some Sniffy Snoots about for Saturday, so I may sub that in for the season till the fish come back.
A peaceful walk with Flynn, down to the buttercup fields. We didn鈥檛 meet any other people or dogs, but heard lots of birds twittering, insects buzzing, squirrels & rabbits & voles rustling in the hedgerows & beautiful wildflowers everywhere.聽
