Tues, Oct 7, 2025

AM- awake at 5:45am (PDT) with Canoodles oozing up onto the bed and wedging his big self between us. I was not ready to get up so I had him move to the end of the bed😅. He went down to his own bed and started “the endless quiet licking” he does when he’s anxious🥴. I managed to stay in bed for another half an hour, trying to sleep but hearing him thru my white noise. Brother. So, that totaled 8 hours of horizontal time, as I decided to get up close to 6:30….
Outside was still dark, but clear, 37 (F) degrees feels like 35, some wind, and LOW pollen.☀️🍂🤧

Nothing useful to add, just wanted to express my sincere gratitude for introducing me to the term "snifari" :)

Sounds like a great day!

I learned it from my dog trainer. She enlightened me to the very real fact that sniffing is THE most important thing in a dog’s life. I already knew it was critical. But, not to the essential point that I see with Canoe. It’s more important to him than literally anything else you can do with them.😅

AM- awake at 6:30am (PDT) after 7+ hours of sleep🛌💤🥱. At least Canoe was not a mess in the night, and slept…until he woke me up at 6:30 to say he was awake, then he went back to bed to *quietly lick* and I was awake🙄🫣🥹
Outside is dark, cloudy, wet, 43 (F)degrees feels like 38.🌬️🌧️🍁🤧
