I love my dog!

Now that I am not in high school anymore, I am usually not home very often. When I do go home, I really look forward to seeing my dog, Coco! When I come home she always runs up to me and jumps up and down...she's always so excited!!! But I really don't like it when she rubs her wet nose all over me. So this led me to my next question..why are dogs' noses always wet and slimy? According to pets.ca, their noses are wet for 2 reasons. To stay cool, and to help them smell. The nose allows a dog to shed heat in the form of mucus. Also, dogs that are alert and sniffing tend to have a wetter nose than a dog who is sleeping. A common misconception is that a dog with a dry nose is sick. This is not true because this dog may be just inactive for the time being. Sick sogs will usually have more severe symptoms when they are not well. Although my dog wipes her wet nose all over me, I am still happy to see her everytime I go home! This dog kind of looks like mine!
