Dog's Nose - A Heightened Sense of Smell Activity
A heightened sense of smell make us think of dogs you have seen walking down the street, with their noses to the ground, or dodging into every bush, smelling everything as they go. Turn into a dog and pay attention to your sense of smell. Take quick sniffs of the air around you like a dog. What do you smell? Smoke from a fire? The grass or the flowers? Yourself? Can you smell differently with a long breath than with quick sniffs? Try taking a long slow breath in through your nose. Try sucking in a tiny bit of air through just parted lips. Get down on all fours like a dog, or pick up a leaf or handful of dirt and hold it close to your nose. If it's safe, taste your leaf. What do you smell? Does it smell like it tastes? How would you describe it? What smells hit your nose the strongest? Still keep you Owl Eyes wise and your Deer Ears perked and your Raccoon Touch sensitive!
