Saturday Survey: Singing Dogs
The post last week of the German Shepherd howling along with the guy in the shower had me howling, as well. My dogs “talk” a good story, but they don’t sing. How about yours?

I just need some space…
Dog Trainer Lisa Desatnik, writing for WCPO in Cincinnati, reports that we humans may be just a little too overbearing for some canines. She recommends petting a dog for no longer than 5 seconds, then waiting for the dog to give you some feedback as to whether or not he wants more interaction with you.

Study Shows Link between Lack of Playtime and Problem Behaviors
The UK’s Daily Mail is reporting on a study out of Bristol University that involved over 4,000 dogs and their families. They asked how often people play with their dogs and found that about 20% say they play six times a day. Half of the families said they play 2 or 3 times a day, and 10% play one time each day.

Justin Bieber’s Dog Now in the News
It’s not enough that pop superstar Justin Bieber is making news every other day now that his life has gone off the rails, now his dad (Jeremy Bieber) and his dog, a Bulldog named Karma, are making headlines. His father has been accused of throwing the kid’s dog from a second floor balcony.
Dad Jeremy apparently was incensed when the dog allegedly bit his younger son, Jackson. At some point following this incident, Justin may have given up the dog to a trainer. (One story has the trainer stealing the dog.)
At any rate, it’s turning into a real “he said / he said” incident, not the first for Bieber, who has had other animal-related problems in the past. One involved a monkey who had not had the proper shots and was seized by German authorities; the other involved his throwing a hamster at a fan.
You can’t make this stuff up, folks!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
