A Dog Nose When I go on a trip, it often rains. It's sunny in the morning but it starts to rain around lunch. When I go up outside from the exit of the subway and start to walk, it starts to rain. It's true. Oh well...I have to bring my umbrella all the time When I visit and cook for my eighty -year-old mother, my fifty-year-old sister in law often comes and eats it even though she doesn't know when I come. She hardly ever cooks for my mother. In the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening, on week day, on weekend, whenever I cook, she comes and grabs food I cook. She lives 15 minutes walk away from my mother's house. I live an hour by train away. So I visit my mom all the way to feed my sister in law. Oh well...She must have a dog nose. It's more useful than my umbrella.

When I go on a trip, it often rains. It's sunny in the morning, but it starts to rain around lunch.
Just as I start to walk above ground after exiting the subway, it starts to rain.
It's true, but it can't be helped. I guess I have to bring my umbrella all the time.

When I cook for my 80-year-old mother, my sister-in-law, who hardly ever cooks for my mother, almost always comes and eats it. In the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening, during the week, and on weekend, she comes and grabs food I cook. No matter what day it is, or what time it is, she somehow almost always grabs my cooking without even knowing if I came to visit my mother or not. She only lives a 15 minute walk away from my mother's house. I live an hour by train away. So, I guess I travel all that way just to feed my sister in law.
Oh well, She must have a dog's nose. It's more useful than my umbrella.

Hello , Jeff. I think dogs have keen scent and find food well. My sister does too. I should have written, "She has a good sense of smell like dogs." I read my sentence again and I think it sounds like she put a dog's nose on her face or in her bag. It's scarcely. haha! Thank you so much for your comment, Jeff.

What's a dog's nose mean? You have to be cognizant of translating idioms from your language to another. I can guess what this means but it's not an idiom we use.
