Details

        While observing Kismet, I've noticed some details about her. When she lays on me and I'm petting her, I noticed that she'll close her eyes and they flutter a little. I can see her eyes rolling back into her head, which to me is a funny sight that I can't help but laugh which causes her to wake up. I feel bad afterwards but Kismet doesn't seem to mind, she'll go right back to sleep.
      I've also noticed her nose. It looks like it's made of dots that are tightly packed together. A black little rubber nose. I don't know what dogs noses are made of so I looked it up, thanks to Google. A doctor or petplace.com says "A dog's nose is part of the epidermis or "skin" which is a living part of the body. Although the nose is usually pigmented and appears to be a tough, thick region of integument(an outer protective covering such as the skin of an animal) it is actually composed of only three layers rather than the five layers found on the other parts of body. The outermost layer of cells on the nose is called the stratum corneum. The grooves within the epidermal surface give it its textured appearance. This texture is unique to every animal, much like fingerprints are in humans." So her nose is not made of little dots, as sad as I am to hear that, it is instead just skin with grooves.
      Since the big picture of these observations is to focus more on things we don't notice in everyday life, that's what I started to do. I tried focusing more on people because I know at least once everyone has wanted someone to notice them and boy did I. I rolled my eyes at the so called thugs of our school as I passed them in the hall with their ridiculously low sagged pants and their hat, but caught myself smiling at the close friendship they have as they exchanged handshakes. I noticed couples and how they stare at eachother when they think the other isn't, it's quite cute actually as cheesy as it sounds. With all the bad things popping up on the news I start to lose faith in humanity, but focusing on the good in people when they think no one is looking is what restores my faith.
