Red and Rover by Brian Basset for October 13, 2022

That’s what dogs do.

Rover! What a dog. At least he gave Red advanced warning to future encounters!

Among the differences between Red and Rover – Red doesn’t like butt-sniffing or sharing a pool with the Mintz Twins.

Wouldn’t it be good if Red and Rover then met 101 dalmatians?

It’s just the doggy version of exchanging business cards!

And yet he licks your face until stopped.

Rover is a mess. Gotta love him.

It’s just a dog thing, Red.

For Rover, a good butt sniff says it all. Yip yip yip yip yip

My dog is generally a sniffee, not a sniffer. I don’t really know why. I have seen other dogs sniff her until her hind legs are off the ground, and she just stands there and takes it, but she will rarely sniff back. She won’t tell me why, but my best guess is that she has such a highly developed nose due to both being a beagle and a champion hunter that she doesn’t need to sniff bums.

It’s a dog thing….

Handshakes, the human version of butt sniffing.

My cats do it to… and they live together!! @ males!!…. Is that the only way they can recognize each other?
