You make me smile (or laugh), the sweet, funny, loving things my dogs do on a daily basis that brings a smile to my face or a laugh to my lips.
Delilah the way you sniff certain cars over, as if you were a car inspector…

You make me smile.
So the funny thing is, she only does this to certain cars. Some she passes right by, others, she sniffs them all over.
Just yesterday my sister and brother-in-law were down from New Hampshire, and Delilah sniffed their car for five minutes before I coaxed her along for her walk.
Do your dogs sniff cars? (Not professionally, like Emma, mind you.) 😉 Speaking of Emma, we send our deepest and heartfelt sympathy to her, Bailie and her mom. We were so sad to hear of Katie’s trip to the Rainbow Bridge. Sadly our furry babes leave us way to soon, always taking a giant piece of our hearts with them.
Oh you guys read my mind! My first thought when I saw the photo was a nose work dog. We have nose work on the brain around here! Thank you for the mention. We are all exhausted and just spending time together remembering all the good times we had. It will be a hard time, but we will keep pawing our way forward.
Mine have to sniff a bit lower down and usually it is a wheel-well (hmmm, wordless wednesday?…..) and tire sniff.
I posted about sniffing something in this post…..get past the agility stuff and there is a story…..

Interesting where she’s sniffing! My crew always sniff the tires … probably hoping for the scent of roadkill?
I sniff an occasional car, mostly near the driver’s door (NOT professionally like Emma). Mom suspects it’s McDonald’s-related.
Love and licks,

About the only time any of my girls have sniffed a car has been when they’ve caught the scent of a cat, squirrel, or some other animal.
Our deepest heartfelt condolences go out to Emma, Bailie, Joy, and the kitties, too, at the passing of their beloved Katie. I’m so glad they have each other to help them through these tough times. It hurts so much when we have to say goodbye to those we love; but setting them free at the Rainbow Bridge is the most selfless thing we can do for them. Now Katie has her angel wings.
I can’t think of an object in the universe that my dogs don’t sniff. Although it is mostly the tires that holds great fascination,
I went to emma’s page. what a beautiful tribute to katie. thanks so much for sharing her photos and your letter to her with us.
hugs to you and your family.
lily is a ground sniffer mostly. at the park she sniffs bushes and trees for messages from other dogs. leaves a few of her own in reply.
jodi, have thought of you and your family often through out this week.
No car sniffers here. Delilah is just figuring out where those cars have been – she knows which ones came from nice places like New Hampshire! 🙂
Sam will sniff tires on ocassion-maybe it’s actually ‘special’ pee-mail and Twitter feeds showing up in unexpected spots. The OES’s however remembered every. single. cat. that went under cars in the ‘hood and therefore had to be NCIS’ed every. time. we. passed. They were true detectives, Sam however is just a pee-graffiti artist. 😉
I was so sorry to hear about Katie. Those photos at the park were absolutely beautiful, and I can only imagine how hard things are for them at the moment.
As far as sniffing cars go I wonder if there’s some rodents camping out. Laika gets obsessed with certain cars as well, and one time as she was sniffing around the tail pipe we saw a mouse scatter away. Scared the shit out of me & of course made Laika even more determined to inspect every damn car for for weeks.
I do not think I have ever noticed my doggies sniffing cars.
She’s the most beautiful inspector.
