Dog People vs. Cat People

From the December/January issue of Reader’s Digest:

Dog people: 15% more likely to be extroverts
Cat people: 11% more likely to be introverts

Dog people: 18% more likely to consider Paul McCartney their favorite Beatle
Cat people: 25% more likely to consider George Harrison their favorite Beatle

Dog people: 30% more likely to enjoy slapstick humor and impressions
Cat people: 21% more likely to enjoy ironic humor and puns

Both dog and cat people:
– Talk to animals of all kinds
– Are equally likely to have a four-year degree
– Dislike animal-print clothing

Until next time,

Good day, and good dog!

Dog Drives Double Decker Bus in Australia

Phil Newton could barely believe his eyes when he saw a double decker bus being driven by a dog.  Apparently the dog was sitting in the driver’s seat with his paws on the steering wheel as the bus drove down the street in the Northern Australian city of Darwin.

Newton chased after the runaway bus, climbed through a window and used the handbrake to bring the errant bus to a halt, moments before it rammed into a parked car.

The dog’s owner, Richard McCormack, said, “He sits next to me when I’m driving and in the driver’s seat when I’m not. The handbrake is on the dashboard and he’s seen me release it many times.

“He was just copying me. He’s tried it before.”

Woodley, the two-year-old driving dog, had no comment on his botched adventure!

 

Tuesday Top Eight: Life Lessons As Taught By Boxers

Gem, from Adopt A Boxer Rescue

From our good friends at Adopt A Boxer Rescue in West Hartford, CT:

1. If you stare at someone long enough, eventually you’ll get what you want.
2. There is never an inappropriate time for licking
3. Don’t be afraid to poke or paw at your first choice
4. Naps are better with someone (or better yet, ON someone)
5. A sad look will get you further than a tantrum
6. The best food going in makes the worst smell coming out
7. When you love someone, you should be excited EVERY time you see them
8. If it’s not wet and sloppy, it’s not a real kiss.

Until next time,

Good day, and good dog!
