Sense of Smell<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sense of smell is so important. We sometimes tell you about\nthings our friends at Medical Detection Dogs are doing. At the moment they are\ndoing something truly amazing to try to help you humans. They are trying to see\nif the dogs can be trained to sniff out the CoronaVirus. What an amazing\nachievement that would be. You can read more about it HERE<\/a>.\nThey need your donations too if you can possibly spare them a few pence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human Smell<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While we are on the subject, when Mum and I were having a\ncuddle earlier she got all sad. She had buried her nose into my coat and I\nthought we were having a lovely cuddle, when she suddenly said \u2018You don\u2019t smell\nlike Alfie.\u2019 Well no, I don\u2019t. I smell like me. Anyway, the moment was spoiled\nbecause she started thinking about how much she misses Alfie and how she loved\nhis smell. Mum has a much more efficient sense of smell than most humans. Dad\nsays it\u2019s her superpower. None of us smells in the sense of a bad odour, but we\neach have our own individual small signature and Mum used to love the smell of\nAlfie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I guess it\u2019s a bit like me hating her wearing perfume. I like\nMum to smell natural and if she puts perfume on then I lick it off at the first\nopportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Springtime<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve all been making the most of the daffodil smells in the\ngarden. We have to be careful there are no bees when we go to sniff. I don\u2019t\nwant a stung nose. Now there are tulips starting to come out and blossom on the\ncherry tree. It really is quite nice just pottering round them all having a good\nsniff. Another day or two and the magnolia will be out too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
