I like to imagine dogs are more like that belligerent botanist on YouTube, cursing while speaking at length not because they’re upset, but because they can barely contain their excitement as they share
Oh I love this guy. Seeing a reference to him in the wild makes me hope it at least pays his bills at this point :p
Any chance you can remember his name? I somehow spaced on it and it’s bugging me. I can only remember that it alludes to higher education somehow
Crime Pays But Botany Doesnt
Lmao, that that was what I associated it with is more than a bit telling about the state of the US
please tell me Belligerent Botanist is the channel name
I wonder if smelling things is one of the ways dogs have fun? Smell is one of their strongest senses after all.
I remember reading something similar to that a while back. The tldr was basically that as annoying as it may be when you’re walking your dog for them to keep stopping to smell things you should consider that it’s a different experience for them than for us. Now when my dog is deep into a sniff I let her take as long as she likes. I like to imaging that it would be like if I saw a great movie preview, sat down to watch it, and then half way through someone comes and yoinks me out of the room.
Yes, it is. In fact, if your dog is showing signs of boredom (such as chewing on things they shouldn’t) a lack of interesting sniffs may be part of the problem. This is especially true for tracking and hunting breeds.
We have a Blackmouth Cur, and one of the things we do for fun is hunt feeding. Basically we take a portion of her dinner and scatter it around the yard, then set her loose to go find it. Tires her out really well. She loves rooting around for all the little bits of kibble.
