Fun Facts About Dogs

Posted by francheska on April 15, 2008

After the last week’s weirdness — there was someone who consoled me readily — I have a cute pet dog named “mudkip” (yes, I named him after a pokemon) only because he’s so cuuuute!

Since I have to be extra careful in taking care of my little mudkip, I have to make sure that I give the right kind of food, when and how frequent (or infrequent!) dogs have to take a bath and such. I came across a site with factual information on dogs, as well as other animals.

Here are my favorite facts:

“Dogs and cats, like humans, are either right of left handed… or is that paws?!” – My mudkip’s definitely a right-pawed pooch! He uses the right paw to pry stuff open.

“Nose prints are used to identify dogs, just like humans use fingerprints!” – I have no idea how to make a noseprint of mudkip that I can display in a frame. I don’t want to attempt this without consulting a vet either, as chemicals for noseprinting might harm my cute little mudkip! (And yes, the spellchecker scoffs at the words, “mudkip,” and “noseprint.”)

“Cats have over a hundred vocal sounds, but dogs only have about ten.” – They may have just ten vocal sounds, but it’s enough for me to know if it’s an enthusiastic bark, an angry bark (meaning, danger danger, Will Robinson!) or just a plea for food.

What about you, what’re your favorite fun facts about your pets?
