Objectionable Introductions
I am a 4 year old, happy-go-lucky mutt of mixed persuasion and I’ve been around the block more than a few times. I believe it’s time to change our meet and greet policy. Specifically, it’s the automatic butt smell that I have a problem with.
I can’t be the only dog that finds our introduction routine objectionable - I’m a dog, you’re a dog, now get to sniffin? I don’t think so. In New York City you might come across 50 dogs on one block alone! Who has that kind of time? It’s the random, out of nowhere butt sniff that bothers me most. I enjoy wagging my tail. But when I do I risk exposing my behind to unwanted snuffles.
If the rules can’ be changed, can we at least curtail it during certain hours? Am I wrong here?

Whatta y’mean, “I’m a dog, you’re a dog..” ? I’m sure no dog, and me and my pals are just as into sniffin’ as you are. However, WE do NOT engage in the “random..but sniff”, but we do it with style, weaving nice designs with our tails instead of just wagging them! “50 dogs on one block alone..” in New York City- that is just horrible! You sure won’t find me there!
Ah geez, what is it with dogs and their obsession with letting the world know about their facination with the poop end of their bodies? Dogs have posted on this site that they role in it,eat it,and leave it for others to step in. Now we have to endure the “greating sniff!” How uncouth!You don’t see other creatures discussing these things. I am so glad we felines are classier than them. Maybe it because we’re higher on the evolutionary ladder than dogs.
How come there are no dogs submitting comments to this post? Are they embarrassed that Jackdog posted this for the world to read? Is this some secret thing like the Masonic hand shake that they don’t want to admit exists? I would be interested in what other dogs thought of Jackdog’s concerns. Being a cat, I’m just naturally curious about everything. Let’s hear from the canines!!
