Super Sniffer

Super Sniffer
Henry: (sniff sniff sniff)


Dog Blog Post #2440


A dog's sense of smell is 10,000 to 100,000 times as acute as ours.

From www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/nature/dogs-sense-of-smell.html:

"Let's suppose they're just 10,000 times better," says James Walker, former director of the Sensory Research Institute at Florida State University... "If you make the analogy to vision, what you and I can see at a third of a mile, a dog could see more than 3,000 miles away and still see as well."

That means if I'm standing in San Francisco, I could read the highway signs in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Wow.

It's a good article, informative without being too technical, and it has several other analogies that will make your head spin.

FWIW: I read elsewhere that Golden Retrievers are in the top 10 of dog breeds for sense of smell.

Editor's Note: Son's computer intensive project has concluded - successfully, I might add - so things should settle back down to normal around here.

Bitey-Face

Another week come and gone.

Pictures taken.

Weather has been lovely (for August) and so I've been working in the yard.

Computer time? Ha! Guess again.

Here's a random sampling from last week...

No, there's nothing wrong with the Nikon. It just seems a waste to trot out all the gear when I don't have much computer time to process.

So I'm spending my time doing late spring cleaning - or early fall cleaning - depending on how you look at it.
