We recently went to the Pet Store to get a name tag for Racer’s
Collar. The print on his old one was wearing off because we had forgotten to
place the protective plastic covering on it. We stood at the machine as it was
made and then we leaned over my dog to clip it onto his collar. Racer was
standing very still as we hovered over him. Meanwhile a fluffy dog sneaks up
and sniffs my dogs butt! Racer turns his head quickly to see who the visitor
is. I imagined my dog saying, “excusez-Moi! Do you mind?” Nothing like a cold
wet nose in your butt to get your attention. Before any of us could respond the
dog and his human darted down an aisle. Racer I guess it was a drive by
sniffing!
“You can never
tell about a person by guessing...that's why language was invented. Otherwise,
we'd all be like dogs, sniffing each other to find out where we stood.” ~Alice
