Ever watched a dog hanging his head out of a car window? I think he is off his nut. Tripping out on sensory overload.
A dog's nose is approximately a hundred thousand to a million times more sensitive than a human's". The environment is filled with an endlessly changing kaleidoscope of scents that is fascinating to a dog at the best of times. Imagine it being blasted up both nostrils at fity miles an hour.
Not for me. This blog is about capturing those moments, writing them down, sharing them.

And a heaven in a wild flower,

And eternity in an hour.
