French Fried Dog?

Is not yet a delicacy we here in the USA typically enjoy, thank goodness! Who else but Dave Barry with his usual witty (tastes like chicken) nuggets of wisdom, usually funny as all get out, would see the humor in someones pets being deep fried and eaten in a domestic dispute over jewelry? Dave's always looking on the bright side when something tragic takes place in the world of pets.

It's not a story about dogs actually, thank goodness, otherwise nobody would be laughing about it. It's about a disgruntled wife (common law) who fried up 7 of this poor man's pet goldfish, because she was upset about some jewelry!

I eat a lot of fish myself, but I draw the line when it comes to some poor guy's goldfish. Then, to make matters worse she tells the cops who come to rescue the poor things that she has already eaten 3 of them! Yuck!

I don't care how upset I am about something I would NEVER even dream of eating someone's pet. Well, maybe my ex-wife's cat if I could have it slow- cooked. Or maybe a pet cow or something, I always enjoy a juicy steak. (just kidding all you cat lovers and 4-H guys and gals out there)

And I enjoy Dave Barry as well. If I had half his talent I could draw attention to pet issues, shelters & adoption et al, using a humorous approach, and without offending anyone! (or at least not many) I think that's part of Dave's gift, that and you always seem to know he's kidding around with you. I guess that's what a "humorist" does, huh?

I know he has pets, wouldn't it be great if he would guest post about an idea I sent him today? It's a thing I call "pet envy" and it has to do with peoples insecurities OR why you love your dog more than your wife. With his talent I can't wait to see what he does with it.

Stay tuned!

Are There More Right-Pawed Dogs Than Left-Pawed Dogs?

A southpaw is what they used to call a left-handed pitcher in baseball and believe it or not, just like us humans where some of us are born right-handed and others left-handed, a dog can be either left pawed or right pawed. I always thought that was a funny way to describe a left-hander because when I hear "paw" I think of a dog, but baseball is a weird game anyway.

It has been well documented that some dogs will twirl when they get excited, especially the smaller ones like Yorkies or Pomeranian's. Which direction they twirl in, we suspect, has to do with the "handedness" of a dog. A right pawed dog would twirl in a clockwise direction and a left pawed dog would twirl in a counterclockwise spin. I got this bit of dog lore from Clay Thompson's column in the Arizona Republic although he does say he is only guessing when he responds to a reader with a question about twirling dogs. I think it's a reasonable explanation as to why some dogs twirl in a certain direction and others go the opposite way.

Of course once you think you have figured it out along comes a dog that spins in both directions, sort of ambigdogerous, which in baseball, means a switch hitter. (more…)

This aint no dog, it's a jackrabbit in a dog suit, why this dog has leaped a 9 ft cyclone fence just because he could. He once jumped off a dock at full speed when I called to him from a boat, a boat that I thought was far enough away – he landed in the boat!

A friend of mine sent me this photo and I thought I would share it but I noticed that the dog whose turn it was, was lifting his leg, so I guessed male dog, right? But why is the line so long, it's the ladies room that's always backed up, isn't it?!
