After writing earlier about Brian Williams’ 15-year old dog, it got me to thinking about dog ages. So, this week’s survey is asking you to tell us how old your dog is. Again this week, I have not blocked repeat voting, so you can vote for each of your dogs if you have more than one.

Now I see what kind of dog-lovers you are!
I had to laugh when I saw the results of last Saturday’s survey. Here I was, worried about the post I did about my dogs’ sleeping in my bed, thinking I would be revealed as a bad, bad dog guardian for having no discipline in my home. So, when I viewed the survey results, I found out that 52% of you are just as bad as I am! 25% of you have the dog under the covers, as I do, while 27% have the dog in the bed, but on top of the covers. So, I don’t feel guilty anymore! Thanks!
Saturday Survey: Where Does Your Dog Sleep
Those of you who read my post Wednesday night know that I was getting a kick this week out of where my animals had sprawled for the night. So, I’m curious – where does your dog sleep at night? For this week, I haven’t blocked multiple responses, so be sure to submit an answer for each of your dogs, if you have more than one.
Saturday Survey: Iditarod = Dog Cruelty?
With the death of 6-year old sled dog Victor at this year’s Iditarod, animal activists are again calling for the Iditarod to be shut down. On the other side, people say that these dogs are happiest when they are running and are, in fact, bred to run. In addition, the argument goes, there are over 900 dogs competing, and the loss of 1 or 2 dogs over a two week period, is probably no different than in the general population. So, what do you think? Should the Iditarod be stopped because at least one dog dies every year?
Saturday Survey: Shelter Dogs vs. Dogs from a Breeder
Last weekend was PetSmart’s adoption event, where they tried to find homes for 13,500 pets. In addition, as you know, last week was the Westminster show, probably the premiere event featuring purebred dogs. So, it dawned on me that we should ask our readers which they prefer – shelter dogs or dogs purchased from a breeder. Please take our survey below and let us know what you think.

Saturday Survey: How do you bathe your dog?
