The Instruction Manual

It is too bad that a dog's nose does not come with an instruction manual. Molly stops and smells everything on our nature walks and I need a manual to tell me exactly what she is smelling. Has another cat or a dog been by there marking the turf as their own? Or is it a wild animal that is going to jump out from behind the tree and slap all of the ass off of both of us? If she usually stops and lingers, I am pretty certain that it is a smell she is not familiar with and that usually means a wild animal. My best case scenario is a deer but don't be fooled by the angelic look of a deer. Bambi can still stick a hoof in your ass.
