So let's see what's new in the dog world. Here's a good one...you know that there are drug sniffing dogs, dogs that can sniff out explosives, dogs that can find and track humans by scent, dogs that can sniff out rats (and apparently moles - but we still don't have any to borrow), dogs that can smell when a human is about to have a seizure and even dogs that are supposed to be able to sniff out bed bugs (yuck!). But the latest that I read about are dogs that trained to sniff out human poop! And why you might ask? Because they can detect illegal sewage dumping that can contaminate water supplies and also septic systems with leaks or broken sewer pipes. Contamination from human waste is a serious environmental problem so this poopy job is very important. We just need a dog-poop sniffing dog - to find the Friendly Giant's deposits in the leaves. Frodo and I refuse to do so.
And here's an interesting theory about dogs and our great ability to smell...some people,think that we tell time by smell. For example, when our human leaves for work, the house has a strong scent of her (and I'm not talking that smelly perfume she wears). But as hours go by, her scent fades - and we can calculate time by the strength of her scent. Interesting theory...and all along you thought we were just psychic about when you are coming back...
And here's one other news bit - check out this movie that will be released next year. My human saw the trailer in the theater last week. And she cried with JUST the TRAILER. Heaven help her if she sees the film! It might have been because her mother leaned over and said...."maybe Paxton DID come back..."

Phew. Now that I have all you soppy dog lovers crying - have a happy Monday! AND a safe and happy Halloween!
