Usually when Yvaine goes outside, she glues her nose to the ground until she comes back in. But when it's windy, and scent is in the air, Yvie lifts her head and closes her eyes and stands mesmerized. With her eyes closed, she blissfully walks into the wind, attempting to inhale the breezes whole.
Today I bring you somewhat more typical seeking of sniffs.
The laughter is gonna kill me, but I am going to go out happy.
Best. Sniff Patrol. Ever.
(Turtle has now been entubbed while awaiting a response from Fish&Wildlife.)
[Video Description: Tristan stands away from a Florida softshell turtle, barking angrily and piercingly. He leans forward as if to approach closer (or pounce), but does not take a step. He wags, but his tail is low; he's excited but cautious.]

Why thank you ;) Turtle was UNpleased, and Spaniels agreed it was deeply unjust that turtle was inaccessible, but entubbed turtle was much safer for everyone. I attempted to provide water while contacting Fish&Wildlife, but it was *very* angry and I'm not sure it understood.
Fish and Wildlife said that even though it had been stuck away from water on my farm for several days, the best thing was probably to place it outside and let it find its own way home. Apparently they're a strongly dimorphic species, with females being much bigger, so I probably don't need to worry about a clutch of eggs somewhere in my pastures.
Goodbye, stinky angry aquatic tresspasser!
Be vewwy vewwy quiet. We’re hunting SNIFFS.

There was a bunny! There was a BUNNY! It was here somewhere! Somewhere! Oh, the sniffs are intoxicating!
Tristan hasn't yet learned Yvaine's half-closed eyes, relaxed, almost mesmerized sniff-trailing method. Head down, lifting nose every few steps to check... something, possibly the wind or if there's a fresher scent on the air somewhere. He looks like he is having fun, though.

It's time for Sniff Patrol but it's RAINING. The tradegy is unbearable.
ALL THE SADS.

It's kind of Tristan to lay on his raccoon tug so I can see how he'd look with a tail. Someday I will find a cocker with a tail, someday.

Just a brief reminder about why I don't share many pics of Yvaine on Sniff Patrol or "helping" to Feed the Big Doggies. My camera can't show her to you.
Synchronized Spanieling: Facing into the wind, tasting the sniffs, eyes closed in bliss.
He's got the whole world in his nose,
he's got the whole wide world in his nose.
He's got the whole world in his nose,
and he doesn't quite know how to cope.
...
Yet. He's working on it.
