Saturday Survey: Facetime

I featured a post this week about vacationers FaceTiming with their dog. I’m wondering if many dog lovers do this. I’m old, so forgive me if I’m using the wrong terminology here, but is Facetime (or Skype or whatever) a part of your relationship with your dog?

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Saturday Survey: Dog Cloning

Barbra Streisand recently announced in a Variety interview that she had cloned her Coton de Tulear Samantha by removing some skin from her tummy and some DNA from her cheek just before Sammie died. The result was four puppies, one of whom died, and one who was given away to a close friend.

Streisand now shares her life with Miss Violet and Miss Scarlett, as well as an unrelated dog named Miss Fanny. She says, You can clone the look of a dog, but you can’t clone the soul. Still, every time I look at their faces, I think of my Samantha…and smile.

Not everyone thinks cloning is ethical. Some say it messes with what should only be the purview of God. What say you?

Good day, and good dog!

Saturday Survey: 2017 National Dog Show

I love watching dog shows, although allowing only two hours for the National Dog Show is a national travesty, in my opinion. Did you get a chance to watch it?

Saturday Survey: Remodeling for the Dog

I posted a picture Thursday of an alcove that was cut into a person’s drywall to make a bedroom for the dog. I can’t imagine going to the expense, but then I’m broke most of the time. How far would you go to make accommodations for your dog’s comfort?

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Saturday Survey: Dogs of Management

Did you catch our Dogs of Management meme last week? Having a little fun with you this weekend, as I ask, “Which dog most resembles your boss?”

Check that outside water dish – we’re having a heat wave!

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Saturday Survey: Ugly Dog Contests

This week, we announced the winner of the 22nd annual Ugly Dog Contest in Del Mar. Although this particular one redeems itself by raising money for local charities, I have mixed feelings about these contests. Overall they look fun, but I have a basic problem with making fun of anyone’s looks. What do you think?

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Saturday Survey: Geese Police

I posted last week about a franchised company called Geese Police, Inc. I’m curious what you think of using dogs in this way.

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Saturday Survey: Your Dog’s Resting Habits

I’ve been posting pictures lately about dogs who choose downright odd places to sit. My puggle used to like to perch on my shoulder like a parrot, or lie down on the back of my chair like a cat. Does your dog have any weird resting spots?

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Saturday Survey: 2016 National Dog Show

By now, you know the Greyhound took the big prize. Do you agree with the judge’s pick?

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Saturday Survey: This Week’s Election

The US Presidential election cycle will finally end this Tuesday, for which we can all be grateful! As we highlighted in past posts, Secretary Clinton appears to be a dog lover, while Mr. Trump continues to compare people to dogs in a mostly derogatory way. Not that this would be the deciding factor in your vote, but who do you hope will win?

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
