Snooter Offsides

Frankie Suave was so engrossed in observing the morning in the marsh, he didn’t realize he had committed a snooter offsides infraction.

Frankie Suave observing the marsh. Is that snooter offsides?

A canine nose fits so well between the slats in our deck railing, perfect for picking up the best smells while also watching the marsh. A referee might say that crosses the line. In football parlance, that would be an offsides. In this case, a snooter offsides.

You're totally making that up, Hu-Dad.

Upon further review, we are unable to find that rule in the official canine etiquette guide, so we have determined no penalty will be accessed. The player looks mighty happy at the replay decision.

No snooter violation here!

    Sorry that was suppose to be “smells” not smelts.

    Frankie Suave just remind the referee that there can never be a penalty for sticking your nose offsides. It is your duty to be aware of all smelts in the area.
