get your nose out of it


One of the things in life I shall NEVER understand is how my pup, Lupini (or any pooch for that matter), enjoys sniffing other dog's poo-poo.


WHY??? Explain to me why? It is CA-CA!


I mean, his nose gets right in there, up close and personal, practically touching the fetid brown stuff - inches away - it makes me gag.


EWWW.


I said to him on our neighborhood walk the other day, "Lupini, why? WHY do you want to poke your nose in others' s**t?" 


(He did not answer, of course. He was busy enjoying the smell.)


And so it applies to humans. People, why? WHY do we want to poke our noses in others' s**t? Reading tabloid gossip, focusing on Hollywood rumors, following actors and other famous people on social media, gossiping about neighbors, friends, family, and coworkers, paying too much attention to other people's woes / divorces / downfalls / problems ... all their "stinky" situations that are absolutely none of our beeswax.


I mean, our noses get right in there, up close and personal, practically touching the stink, inches away.


Let's think about this. The next time you walk your dog or see a dog sniff another dog's poop, and it gags you - and you think it's SO wrong to do; perhaps continue to think about how it is also wrong to stick our noses into another person's stinky stuff. Why do we enjoy watching others struggle?


OH POO. Snippeteers, let's mind our own business. Get your nose out of it. We have enough smelly junk of our own to handle!


good to giggle

Snippeteers - I can't always be trusted to remember everyone's locale. PLEASE remember to include your TOWN / STATE when you backtalk ...

even if you think I know it already!

Lupini won!!!!


I am quite excited to share with you that my office assistant, Lupini Martino Molino, won Baltimore Magazine's CUTEST PET contest! I entered him with the following profile and a photo which was posted on their website, along with 155 other dogs & cats as the public (and you) voted!


Congrats to my tiny curly fur-ball, bed-hogging bambino! He will be featured in the magazine's September issue in a full-page spread ... HOW FUN IS THAT?


Lupini is the only curly-haired Dachshund around (to match Mamma's curly hair) and the only ITALIAN Dachshund! He is definitely "part-squirrel" with a big bushy tail surrounding tiny 3-inch legs. Lupini is sassy-sweet, a total Mamma's boy, and even likes the taste of lupini beans. He's a snuggle-pup and HATES collars, harnesses, and clothes with a preference to be 100% NAKED. He is Baltimore's Cutest Pet who everyone adores!



happy SNIPPETS friday ...
