Amazing Facts You Never Knew About Your Dog


1
Dogs Have 18 Muscles to Move Their Ears


These muscles allow dogs to move their ears in intricate ways, which are very important to picking up sounds.

2
A Dog's Nose Is Its Fingerprint


Dog noses have unique patterns that can serve to identify them, similar to human fingerprints. Also, the wetness of a dog's nose is a sign of good health and helps them in gathering scents. Thinking of adopting a shelter dog one of these days? Read these 10 things you need to know.

3
Dogs May Be Able to Fall in Love With You


Scientists have discovered that love is chemically apparent when a dog and its owner look into each other's eyes. Specifically, a study found an uptick in the level of oxytocin (sometimes known as "the love hormone") in a dog and its owner when they stare at each other. For more on man's best friend, don't miss How to Buy the Perfect Dog, by the dog whisperer himself, Cesar Millan.

4
Dogs Sweat Only on Their Paws


Dogs have sweat glands only on their paws, not the rest of their bodies. Since they do not use sweat to cool off, dogs have developed another way: They ventilate and exchange heat through panting.

5
Small Dogs Can Hear Sounds in Higher Ranges


Dogs' ears are perfect tools to detect sounds. Dogs can hear sounds that are two-times beyond our range—and it appears small dogs are actually better at it.

6
Dogs Mark Their Territory with Glands in Their Paws


Dogs are not, in fact, trying to clumsily bury their poop. They are just performing yet another territory-marking ritual. With the glands on their paws they spread their scent and let other dogs know they are around.

7
Male Dogs Lifts Its Leg When it Pees as a Sign of Dominance

Dogs' urine contains markers that inform other dogs of its presence, social standing, and sexual availability. Dogs lift their legs as high as they can so they can "distribute their message" better and allow its scent to travel further.

8
Dogs Are More Aggressive When Being Walked by a Man


The presence of a leash, the sex of the owner, and the sex of the dog all play a part in the aggressiveness of a dog. Dogs walked by a man have been found to be four times more likely to attack and bite another dog.

9
Dogs Dream


Scientists think that dogs dream similarly to us and replay moments that they have previously experienced. You can tell that a dog is dreaming if they are twitching their legs or bark in their sleep. Small dogs have more dreams than big dogs.

10
Dogs Do Not Feel Guilt

When dogs look ashamed after you catch them turning the living room upside down, it mostly because of our perception of how they look. In fact, there are not capable of feeling guilt, scientists say. Dogs have actually learned to act in a submissive way, but it doesn't go beyond that.

Good morning everyboomie. wave2


I had a pleasant surprise today. After early morning thunderstorms I got up to brilliant sunshine and warmer temperature. penguin


It was great walking the pups. Just a little wind is all. We got close to 70 degrees. Sunday on the other hand is supposed to be 55 for the high. yes


My plans will be the same either way. More cooking cleaning and gaming. razz


I actually did not do any gaming yesterday (Friday), and have not done any today at all. Yet..... wink


On that note, have a happy day everyone. thumbsup

It was a rainy day yesterday all day and today is rain followed by snow. Miserable weekend! At least today I only have one boarder and no outside visits. I can have a half day of rest!

Have a great day, Joe, soot, family and all! I have to get to bed..

Back from the airport.

Woke to one sicky dog (Lil Soot). He most likely ate something he should not have. I try really hard to keep it all picked up, but have one g'son that sheds worst than the dogs

It's a bit on the windy side today. Hoping to hit the park once the sun warms us up a bit.

Have a great day all puppy

Hi everyone! I, for one, cannot believe it's Dec already. Now that I'm retired; a close friend asked if the days dragged to which I replied, without hesitation, NOPE! I just have to keep reminding myself that I don't have to put off any special tasks until the holidays cause work is no longer a priority.

Dogs are one of my favorite things in life. Have enjoyed their company since I was a child. I don't care what the scientists say about dogs not feeling guilt. My ex and I once had a terrier that I used to call my 'catholic' dog. There were times when she would greet us full blast with tail wagging high and reaching up for some rubbing. Other times she'd approach with just the tip of her tail showing her delight but her head was down. Sure enough either she or our other dog had done something. One day, I had set some meat to marinate on the counter but not far enough back. While we were sitting watching TV she came in from the kitchen with that look on her face, and we didn't know where the other dog was. Sure enough, I found him 'standing' with his paws on the edge of the counter, tongue stretched out to lick up the marinating juice. He drank half of it.

The remark about dogs on leashes reminds me that, a while back, a local park fenced off an area for a dog park. We went several times and learned that, once the dogs were off leash they got along fine. People would hesitate when they approached the gate to the park because dogs came running to greet the next dog. Some folks left; others we were able to convince. The park kept a water fountain going, but when Niles virus first came, that became a problem. Plus the park, which had been free, started charging an annual fee. So we stopped going.

Any day that I can walk my dog without worrying about snow and ice is a special treat for me.
