We managed to get in a #sniffari for Little Miss Attitude and Mister Tan Man before the return of the soaking - and very welcome - rain this morning. Timing really is everything. #DogsOfCoSo

Good morning to all the #DogsOfCoSo and the hardworking humans who ensure that they’re living their best lives.

On yesterday’s afternoon #sniffari, Mr. Tan Man shared my concern that someone had mowed down the “multiple pedestrian crossings” sign, thereby proving that such a sign was indeed warranted at that location. #DogsOfCoSo

A windy and sunny #sniffari for Little Miss Attitude, and a “sniffle-fari” for mom as #allergies continue unabated. #DogsOfCoSo

Mr.Tan Man ushered in the month of May with a #sniffari to the alligator hangout. “I don’t know, Momma” he said… “Somehow I don’t think we’re gonna see an alligator today. What? He’s where?? He’s right behind me? No way!” #DogsOfCoSo

Little Miss Attitude is usually completely unflappable, but last night’s display of lightning (not thunder, strangely) had her completely freaked out until I put on her ThunderShirt. She wasn’t bothered by this for the first 7 years we had her but in the last two years, we need to plan around her storm angst. #DogsOfCoSo

Jasmine vine beginning to bloom was a highlight of Mr. Tan Man’s morning #sniffari. #DogsOfCoSo

Little Miss Attitude and I were definitely feeling the gray, cloudy vibe on our morning #sniffari. #DogsOfCoSo

Today’s #sniffari featured the fascination of a metal railing. One never knows what will entice Mr. Tan Man. #DogsOfCoSo

Good morning to everyone who is profoundly envious of their dogs’ ability to sleep for hours and hours on end. #DogsOfCoSo

Good morning to the #DogsOfCoSo, especially the big mutts who get us off the couch and out the door and keep us in good shape, physically and mentally.

Mr. Tan Man and I were so blissed out after smelling the honeysuckle on our morning #sniffari that we thought that the gorgeous red fox that we saw moments later might have been a hallucination. #DogsOfCoSo

Good morning from the #DogsOfCoSo to the #dogs of #Ukraine who have endured unimaginable horrors, all the while trying to absorb the stresses of their beloved humans. #SlavaUkrainii

Little Miss Attitude and Mr. Tan Man enthusiastically embracing momma’s decision to take it easy today rather than going on their usual long walks. #DogsOfCoSo

Mr. Tan Man’s morning #sniffari featured some weird spring weather, and even he knew that it was time for momma to stop taking photos of those mammatus clouds and head home. #DogsOfCoSo

We could all use some quiet time in the woods. Mr.Tan Man gets to enjoy this special pleasure on his daily #sniffari which is equally therapeutic for me. #DogsOfCoSo

Mr. Tan Man had an unexpected surprise on this morning’s #sniffari with the discovery of the season’s first honeysuckle vine. This harbinger of summer shows up earlier every year, and even Mr. Tan Man knows that #ClimateChange is the culprit. #DogsOfCoSo

Today’s #sniffari finds Mr. Tan Man sniffing out the most ironic location to do his “business.” #DogsOfCoSo

Good morning to all the #DogsOfCoSo who have had quite enough of the right-wing’s racist dog whistles. #Politics

At age 12, Mr. Tan Man is slowing down a bit, but still maintaining his mile+ #sniffari walk every morning. He has taught me a lot about stopping to smell the flowers, the trees, the pine needles, the leaves, the soil, and the stones. #DogsOfCoSo
