My career and personal life both revolve around dogs (and cats). One aspect of my work (as a pet detective) is that I train people how to train their dogs to track lost pets. It takes about a year of training to get a dog ready to work cases. Giving a dog a job is SO amazing! Their scenting abilities are out of this world. I used to always have bloodhounds or Weimaraners, but I currently have 2 lap dog rescues--Opie a Beagle mix and Ollie a Chihuahua mix.
OMG I think you literally have the coolest job I've ever heard of. I didn't know pet detectives were real lol. I do agree with you re: dogs and their capabilities though. We have a scent training school here in my city and I've always thought my dog would EXCEL in it. She's a real thinker and always has her nose to the ground or in the air. She knows which dogs are out in the neighborhood long before we ever see them.
Hi Kristi. Thank you for yet another enjoyable and laugh-inducing read. Before I read your post, I did not know I was a snob. But alas, after reading the qualifications, I am most definitely a dog snob! My Paisley is my world. 🐶. I hope you still leave a little time to find your inner pizza 🍕.
Kristi, so glad I found you. When I saw dog snob, I said “yes, I am, and …” 😁 I don’t even technically own a dog. I have two amazing 4 legged nephews (a 15.5 year old pug Tiki and a 6 year old jug Roscoe successors to a chug Rudy successor to a pug Odie successor to Mugsy the chug) and I have a niece 10 year old redheeler/german shepherd Maggie. I am a super pug and pug mix snob. I will stop my car to say hello to a pug, cross the road to say hi to a pug. Once I move I foresee 2 rescue pugs in my future. But I am a dog snob for sure. ❣️❣️❣️🐾🐾❣️❣️❣️
That's the best thing about being a dog snob....you don't even have to have a dog! As long as you understand the REAL pecking order. Dogs win in all situations 😂
All my dogs were snobs. They all crossed their paws. All, except one, did not going outside and getting their paws dirty, or getting wet if it was raining.
Awww that's so funny and cute!! Mine crosses her paws while she sleeps, it makes it look like she's praying 😂 I would love to read a story about your dog if/when you write it!
looooving this! my Mambo is a Romanian rescue. we did a DNA test and apparently he is something of a Shishi Tzu and a Leonberger. I let you figure out how THAT worked.
I find it interesting that a family with a baby at a park may find a few passersby nodding and smiling. A dog or a puppy at a park can gather the masses! Dogs are the best!
Hahaha I literally wrote a post about this very soon after adopting Dezi 4 years ago. Random people on walking paths in my neighborhood NEVER stopped to say hello in all the years I've lived here.....until I got a dog.
Hi! Hi! I have so much to say about my dogs, but for now I will say that I am so lucky to be mama to 2 dobies Zumi (2) and Tashi (3) and to still feel connected with my soul dog Makai, who is no longer physically with us.
So happy to find Dog Snobs and meet the incredible Dezi!
I laughed out loud and nodded along to the 'tell tale signs' list.
Most local dog owners know me as 'Bruce's human' and I know them by their dogs' names.
Really looking forward to more from Dog Snobs! Thanks for creating this, Kristi.
Dezi is gorgeous!
Thank you 😊 (as if she's got my genes lol)
I know that I'm a dog snob.
Don’t even need to read that piece 🫣
🤣🤣

The fact they can discriminate one human's (and pet's!) scent from another's scent is just mind blowing. They think it goes down to individual DNA!
And yet, when my dog met her biological sister, they could not have cared less about each other lol. I was expecting a big, sisterly reunion 😂
Well that's because those two dogs are BOTH SNOBS! :)

Awww Ami, I'm so glad to help you realize your inner snob 😁
And about that pizza...my dog IS my inner pizza!! No matter which way you slice it ❤️
Finding poop bags in every clothing is like magic! "how did that get there? Why didn't the washing machine kill it?" 🤣
For you all information, today my dog got a nice shower 😊
LOL Jezz....yes!!!! If I could post a photo here, I'd show you my clothes dryer always with at least one kibble left in it, or a poop bag 😂

Is that even a question? By the way, I love your writing.
Thank you so much Lisa. Believe it or not, that is a higher compliment than, "Your dog is so pretty." 😁 I appreciate you!
All my dogs were snobs. They all crossed their paws. All, except one, did not going outside and getting their paws dirty, or getting wet if it was raining.
I need to write a story about him. he was funny!

I am sitting at Bar K dog bar in St Louis Right Now as I read your newsletter.
I turned down seeing my brother who is an hour away from here (and 8 hours from where I live) To bring my dogs to this dog park.
I didn’t realize it - but I guess I am a dog snob 🤣🤣🤣
This place is awesome. They have one now in St Louis, Kansas City & Oklahoma City. Love this place. 🧡🖤🐕🦺🐕
Lol this is the best thing I've read today 😂 Lucky dog you've got.
Oh my goodness, I feel so seen! My two meatballs are asleep right next to me as I type this. Thank you for this. Tell your dog I said hi :-)
Hahaha I shall!! And back at yours!
Guilty as charged. My guy Brady is sitting here at my feet as we speak. We don't deserve dogs, but I'm so grateful we have them.
Amen to that! They're way too good for us ❤️
looooving this! my Mambo is a Romanian rescue. we did a DNA test and apparently he is something of a Shishi Tzu and a Leonberger. I let you figure out how THAT worked.
Bahahaaa! I wonder how half these mixed breeds ever happened 😂
I have a dog DNA post coming in the future and it's hilarious.
hah, nice! looking forward to reading that one
😂 love it!!

I'm so glad you're here and i feel like I know Zumi and Tashi just through your posts! As if our dogs wouldn't love each other 😁🐕
They would!
So sweet. The word, snob, has a different connotation when it comes to dogs. 🐶 🥰
