You said it.

…because cats are losers.

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/nature/how-smart-dogs.htmlThe dog that knows the names of a THOUSAND different stuffed toys!

And what’s more, when they bring in a stuffed toy that the dog has never seen before, called by a name that the dog has never heard before, and ask the dog to go get that toy, after a lot of searching around, the dog finally brings out the correct toy! The dog actually figured out that since he didn’t know the name of THAT toy, and had never seen THAT toy before, that MUST be the one they were asking for!!

What ever happen with old Norm and his new girlfriend. Did they get a motel and do the horizonal polka all night? I gotz to know.

I walk my new puppy at the hospital during shift change. The only words he knows are “cute” and “adorable”. I guess no, stay, and come are more advanced concepts.

For you pet lovers, there was a great article in Nat Geo about recent discoveries regarding the genetic modifications that are triggered by domestication (be sure to look at the “picture gallery” also). Article here.

Ever heard cats when they’re in heat??

Actually, my dog will chase anything that moves. A previous dog not only chased a mouse, but caught it.
