They told me...
That my house
Smells like dog...đŸŸ
And I asked them...
Do they know what a dog smells like?
A dog smells like:
Gratitude...
Loyalty...
Nobility...
Honey...
Pure and Unconditional Love! 💜
and despite all they have suffered they don't smell a grudge....
So...
I feel blessed
My house smells like dog! đŸŸđŸ’ž

Ever noticed those slits at the sides of a dog’s nose? Why do dogs have them?

Once again, nature proves her elegance in the design of our dogs. When we humans inhale and exhale, air comes in the same way it goes out. Any smells that come in through our mouths are forced out as we exhale.

When a dog exhales through his nose, however, the exhaled air is released through those slits and off to the side so that nice, smelly air going into the dog’s nostrils doesn’t get diluted with the outgoing air. Put another way, the slits allow the dog to avoid smelling what he just exhaled.

The slits help the dog hold scent particles in the nostrils even as exhaled air passing out the slits creates a swirling air turbulence allowing interesting odors to be inhaled directly into the centre of each nostril. Since dogs breathe faster when trying to sniff a certain smell, they widen their nostrils to pull in more air which makes it possible for a dog searching for smells to have a steady stream of air coming in for up to 40 seconds, maybe even longer.

The slits also allow dogs to wiggle each nostril independently which gives them the ability to know which nostril a smell entered. This is how a dog can pinpoint where a smell is coming from, and why a dog searching for smells on the ground will weave back and forth as he follows a trail.

We all know the superb smelling abilities of dogs, but let’s use an analogy between scent and sight to really put it into perspective: What we as humans can see at a third of a mile, our dog can see more than 3,000 miles away and still see as well.

Hippos are not just one of Africa’s largest mammals, but also among the toughest animals on the planet. Their incredible strength, aggressive defense strategies, and unique adaptations make them the undisputed rulers of their domain. Their skin is extremely thick and tough, up to 1.6 inches in places, providing protection against physical attacks and environmental factors. If they do get an injury their unique skin produces a substance called bloodsweat that works like an antibiotic ointment among other things. This One Tough Animal feature is brought to you by Bobcat Enterprises, Inc.

Irish Wolfhounds

The majestic Irish wolfhound, known as the CĂș Faoil in Irish, famed in history and mythology, is one of the largest and strongest dog breeds in the world. It is certainly is one of the tallest, reaching over seven feet in height when standing on its hind legs!

As it was known in ancient times, the great Irish hound was held in such high regard that by ancient Brehon law only kings, chieftains and nobles were allowed to own them, or a poet could have two. If a dog was stolen, it might be cause for a battle or even a war, and they wore chains and collars of gold and silver, often being given to notables as valuable gifts.

They were used to protect property and livestock from thieves and predators, and if brought to battle would pull warriors down from chariots or horseback! Their ferocity in war was notorious, and the war-chief of the High King and leader of the Fianna, Fionn Mac Cumhaill, owned more than five hundred of them, three hundred adults who fought alongside his men as well as two hundred puppies.

As it was written in the legends, Fionn’s favourite hound, whose name was Conbec, could head off and bring back any elk in Ireland to Fionn’s feasts. It was said that “no hound but Conbec did ever sleep in the one bed with Finn.”

There was no beast they would not hunt, from wild boar to stag to giant Irish elk and even to wolves. It was said that Irish Wolfhounds were the only dogs fast enough to run down a wolf and strong enough to kill it afterwards, tracking mostly by sight and speed. And rumours persist that they hunted more than wolves, warriors and wild beasts in the dark and gloomy forests of ancient Ireland... they hunted creatures akin to wolves and men both!

The CĂș Faoil originally came to Ireland about nine thousand years ago. When Celtic tribes attacked and laid waste to Delphi in the third century BC, horrified survivors spoke in hushed tones of the great hounds that had fought alongside their masters.

Julius Caesar wrote of them in his book, “Gallic Wars”, and the Consul Symmachus received seven of them as a gift from his brother at the end of the fourth century, which "all Rome viewed with wonder”.

CĂș Chulainn got his name when he slew a mighty guard dog watching a smith's house and swore to take the dog's place until a replacement could be found. At that time it wasn't unusual for a king or hero to place the word cĂș, meaning “hound”, before his name, to show they were worth respecting.
