Starry, starry night! The Big Dipper is a great way to find the North Star, which is at the end of the handle of the Little Dipper. Follow the line formed by the two stars that make the side of the Big Dipper (opposite the handle side). Extending that line up/out of the Big Dipper connects with the North Star. In the night sky, all the stars appear to rotate around Polaris, the North Star. The two dippers have their open tops pointing toward each other and bottoms in opposite directions. Even with the rotation of stars and constellations, the dippers maintain this spatial relationship with one another. Ancient mariners depended on the North Star for nocturnal navigation. Did Henrietta find a dead fish to roll in??
If we have another clear evening I intend to pull out the “map” you just shared....to see if I can follow.
I did not actually see her roll on a fish. The entire area had a fishy smell. She did roll on the grass, and she disappeared into the cattails for a minute. Less potent scent now that she’s dry, but still strong.
I did take her to the dog park and did not observe any action/reaction out of the norm. Henny had a grand time...and therefore, so did I!

I guess dog joy easily transcends disagreeable odors. At least with the other dogs...
I was was thinking Henri might be incredibly attractive to the other dogs who wished they could roll in rotten fish too. haha!
I'm right with you on the constellations.
