#sniffing

if they're sniffing around, atleast when mine does, and he's about 12-13 months now, he's not trying to eat our food, he's just curious what we're doing and is it safe, because it matters if his humans are safe, of course.

my parents explained this a few months back to me, to not pull everything away from him as soon as his nose gets close. that he's just curious, and this is also HIS first time here, and he's just as curious and wanting to learn about the world as we are

so yeah, let your dog sniff your hairbrush for a moment, he just wants to know what you're doing, let him get close to your book, he just wants to see what you're so invested in, and just like tonight, i let him sniff a few things, jewellery, even my toothbrush for a bit, because to US it makes sense, we're brushing our hair, we're reading a book, we're cleaning our teeth, but to them?

they have no idea what you're doing, and if you would let a human child learn through you, maybe you should let your pets learn too, because the more you LET them explore, the more comfortable they'll get

that went... very off topic. woah.
