I was lying in bed a couple weeks ago looking on my Smart Phone and came across a story about dogs and having bowel movements; when, where and how. Well, not really how because we all know that one.
Anyway, 30 dog scientists watched dogs defecate 1,800 times and urinate over 2,000 times. Can't you imaging going home and your wife says, "What did you do today, dear?" And the hubby responds with, "It was the same old same old. I watched dogs crap all day." What a job. I'd rather sell burgers to butterflies.
The results of their earth shattering study were the following: Dogs ALWAYS defecate on a north/south axis. Either their tail is facing the North Pole and/or the South Pole. Well, I've been watching my Charlie do his thing and I can assure you this is not the case. This morning, even, He was watching a couple of kids fishing in our pond and his nose was pointed west. There goes that theory down the tube.
The second item is when Dogs have a bowel they ALWAYS look at their Master with attentive eyes. Charlie does this quite frequently. He seems to have that saddened look but the experts say there's another reason. When they squat the look at the owner in the event a predator is sneaking up on them. I guess I'm supposed to give them a warning. Trust me. If mountain was getting ready to pounce I'd make like Secretariat coming down the home stretch.
When Charlie and I go out I have one item on my mind; get it done and get it done fast.
