Sometimes it's fun to look at things from a totally different perspective-- someone else's. Better yet, another species from one's own. The following came out of a discussion with Hardi about how puzzled our dog Faulkner must be about one thing, in particular.

So imagine this at the kennel, when Faulkner is boarded:

Faulkner: I just don't understand what is wrong with my people. I smell their butts every time I see them-- and not ONCE have they ever reciprocated by smelling mine! What is UP with that! Is it just me?"

Rover: "Well, buddy, it could be you're not eating enough of that really nasty stuff out of the kitchen trash-- frankly (having met you myself), I suspect you may not have an odor sufficiently complex for them to waste their time."
