Sir Henry - Master of the Nose
July 21st - Hello my dear friends, oh what a summer! The temperature isn't the only problem though, it's just that I am soooooo tired most of the time. What else can you do in such a "dog heat" than lie still and relax a little ? I have no idea, how these humans manage to run around like maniacs all the time and are busy busy busy. I strongly believe that the philosophy of dogs is far superior to those of mankind. We enjoy life, simple as that. And one of the most important means to achieve that for me is my nose. From reading previous stories on this blog you will recall that I love to sniff and smell my way through the day.
Did you know, for example, that I have approx. 150-200 million cells in my nose whereas the human being only has about 5 million ? Or, that 10% of my brainpower is dedicated exclusively to processing, remembering and analysing smells? So don't be surprised if I am sniffing all day long ... I just like it - because I can! ... see you next time, your "Master of the nose"
