The Nose Knows

I am constantly amazed by how sensitive Molly's nose is. Our apartment complex has a bad mole problem and Molly is doing her best to eradicate this problem. She has made it a personal crusade. She will be walking along with her nose to the ground and we will come across some mole tunnels and Molly will slow down and take a good hard sniff. My Dad always referred to it as "creeping" but she will start lightly pacing herself along the tracks of these tunnels and then she will make a sudden dive into the ground. Usually all she gets is a mouth and a nose full of dirt but the other day she pulled a big fat mole out of the ground. Molly made quick work out of it because it was dead by the time she pulled it out of the ground. I made her spit it out but she took it as a matter of course. I congratulated her on a job well done and there is not another nose like hers in the neighborhood.
