Our Newsletter: The Snoot Report
The Snoot Report was created and named after me to provide a convenient way of information exchange between Vetcetera staff and those special people who are devoted to their pets. The idea was inspired by my answer to the question below.
Dear Snoot,
Why do dogs always seem compelled to sniff each other's rear ends? I have tried to modify this behavior in my dog, but he seems to sniff the behind of every dog he meets with urgency.
—Seeker of Doggy Insight
Dear Seeker,
It all stems from a catastrophic event years back. Allow me to explain:
Some dogs once held a convention
They came from near and far
Some by automobile
And some by trolley car
Before they could enter the meeting
Even to just have a look
They had to take their behinds off
And hang them on a hook
Then into the hall they filed
Every mother, son and sire
Yet hardly were they seated
When someone shouted, "FIRE!"
They evacuated quickly
They didn't have time to look
And each dog grabbed, at random,
A behind off the hook
And that's the reason why, you see
When walking down the streets
Each dog will stop to swap a smell
With every dog he meets
And that's the reason too, my friend
He'll leave a big fat bone
To go and smell a behind
For he hopes to find his own.
