Checking for prints

 

On this day in 1858, humans began using fingerprints as a way to identify people.  Humans all have unique fingerprints.  But for us dogs, it's nose prints.  Just as no two human fingerprints are the same, no two nose prints are identical.  So my human is able to identify exactly who left the olfactory art on the deck doors.  While staring at a bird on the lawn.

The Canadian Kennel Club has been accepting nose prints  as proof of identity since 1938.  I'm not sure exactly how many people do it - as most people seem to use tattoos or microchips.  I have a chip.  So I guess that means I will beep if I go through security at the airport.   

And speaking of being nosy...my human went to buy our dog food at the gourmet dog food place.  And she came home with a big bag.  But she ALSO came home with a DIFFERENT kind of food.  I thought she was just switching our food.  But she didn't give us any.  Maybe she is saving it for some special occasion?  And there was something ELSE in the bag - but she didn't show it to us.  I started thinking...do you THINK I could be getting a PUPPY?!  I have wanted a puppy FOREVER.  Or at least a couple of months.  Anyway, she's not saying anything yet.  This is worse than waiting for the rabbit to appear.

Have a good one.
