Last week, we focused on the movies. This week, it’s TV’s turn.
Some of the dogs on classic sitcoms are just window dressing. Others are part of the family. Some have even been known to steal a scene or two. Which one’s your favorite?
Friday Funny: Doggie Gymnastics
Announcer: That’s the best dismount I’ve seen all day. I give it a ten.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Two Sides of The Same Coin: Should Dogs be Allowed in Public Parks?
While I was looking for a topic for today’s post, I came across two articles, both published today, but from opposite coasts.

Dead Dog Comes Back to Life
At the dog shelter in Sulphur, OK, it is sadly true that dogs are sometimes euthanized due to lack of space or health issues. On Saturday, five young dogs were put down, their deaths confirmed before the bodies were taken to the trash bin.
Tuesday Top Ten: Hardest Dogs to Obedience Train
Last week, we covered the breeds that are easiest to train. This week, the dogs who are hardest to train. Again, this says nothing about the intelligence of the dog. Trainability is not the same as intelligence. In my opinion, it speaks more to the stubbornness of the breeds, as well as to their native character traits. For example, the Beagle is simply a nose with feet. Dogs of this breed are much more interested in following scent trails than commands.
I have included a link for each breed back to our breed guides where you can find information on the history, temperament, and health of each one. (Or check out our complete list of dog breeds.)

Music Monday: How Much Is That Doggie In the Window
I usually use this feature to highlight new songs about dogs, but I couldn’t resist including the quintessential dog song of all time, Patti Page singing “How Much is That Doggie in the Window”. I’m not sure I’ve ever listened to it all the way through, until I just found it on YouTube.
Nice video with it – does anyone know if the song was originally from a movie? I can’t imagine they were regularly making music videos back when this was recorded. Did you notice she stole the dog at the end?
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Saturday Survey: And the Canine Oscar goes to…
It’s Oscar weekend! I don’t think a dog has ever won an Oscar, or even appeared on the red carpet (what would they wear???) but if they could win, which one is most deserving?

Friday Funny: Lump in the Rug
Wonder how often he gets stepped on?
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Dog Propelled Scooters
Do you have a hard time giving your dog enough exercise? Maybe you don’t walk as fast as the dog does or perhaps the dog pulls too hard on the leash for you to control him or her. Here’s a new one (on me, anyways): dog-powered scooters and bikes.
