This is Katie. Like most border collies, she's pretty darned smart. She has a nose for news, among other things, and she's going to advise me as I comment periodically about common sense in everyday life.
No, not common scents! I'll leave those to Katie (did you know a dog has more than 220 million olfactory
receptors in its nose, while humans have only 5 million?) I'm referring to good sense, which seems all too lacking nowadays.
Katie knows where the squirrels in our backyard hide and never barks up the wrong tree, unlike humans. We see silly, even stupid, things all the time -- drivers chatting on their cell phones while their cars mosey along the interstate at 40 mph, customer service reps who don't listen to the problem, telemarketers who begin their conversation with "how are you today?"
So stay tuned here. Perhaps as this gets off the ground you will offer your own examples of brains disengaged.
Happy reading. Or, befitting this form of communication, blog on!
Like your blog, but your puns should get you drawn and quoted:-)

Thanks, Glenn. I do resemble your remark, though!

Congrats, Paul. Love the photo subject in this post. And, strangely enough, I did know the olfactory receptors fact. Wrote a feature article on a Delta Society therapy dog once.
Look forward to reading more of your stuff.

Paul, I love your blog name!
The biggest mistake that businesses make today is sounding and looking like everyone else. Especially in this day and age of "too much information", you have to differentiate yourself, take a stand, and have a unique and compelling point of view....or get lost in the sea of "sameness".
"What My Dog Nose" is certainly unique!
Good luck with the blog!

******Have you ever seen somebody lick the chutney spoon in an Indian Restaurant and put it back?
This would never have happened under the Tories.***
