Sniffing Sensation

It has been sometime since I wrote my last blog. I am very happy Susan’s home but I miss Rose and Pierre. I suggested we all live together. That didn’t go down well. Humans don’t to have the same herding instinct as dogs. Another thing humans don’t seem to understand is sniffing.

She’s home! I’m home!

Miss Penny speaking. Did you miss me? 

It has been sometime since I wrote my last blog.

I am very happy Susan’s home but I miss Rose and Pierre. I suggested we all live together. That didn’t go down well. My humans don’t have the same herding instinct as I do. Another thing humans don’t seem to understand is sniffing. 

This is what herding looks like. All together.

My first walk back in the neighbourhood took a very long time.

The level of sniffing required was tremendous, new smells, old smells and unusual smells all needed to be recorded for future walks. I guess the best way to explain it in human terms would be a smorgasbord of olfactory sensations. Quite overwhelming!

Lamppost a great sniffing place.

Susan said I picked up some bad habits while away.

I had a little snigger, as I was quite spoiled by Rose. I had no problem getting attention, I only had to drop my head and give a woeful look and my demands were met. It looks as though Susan needs a bit more training, the woeful look is not working. But, I am happy to be home and back into our routine. 

I’m ready to resume my role as author assistant, although I don’t see much novel writing happening. Plenty of research into the 1920s using terms like flappers, short skirts, gin fizz and finger wave, the latter is a type of wave in bobbed cut hair, fashionable in that era not Susan getting mad with a driver cutting her off on the highway. Susan has prepared a new edition of Susan’s Reader Group News that goes out tomorrow.

I’m guessing by next week I’ll have learned a lot about life in the 1920s. I wonder what dogs were like 100 years ago? Now that will be interesting.

Readers, I have a gentle suggestion, that you might want to read the first two books in the Sophie series and be ready for book three by Christmas.

Until next week, love, licks and sniffs from Miss Penny.
