2024’s first #sniffari of the year finds Mr. Tan Man enjoying all new smells along the nature trail. I used to get annoyed at having to stop every few feet to let him sniff a plant or a branch or a stump or a patch of dirt but once I learned that this behavior is an essential part of canine cognition, I have let him set the pace. The result is a calmer, happier dog. #DogsOfCoSo
