The Scoop: How Dogs (and Wolves) Pick Potty Places

PetSugar — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 12:15:44 -0800

If you've got a male dog, I'm betting you notice his gravitation to certain spots to do his business – North has his favorite hydrant and lamp posts in our neighborhood. I knew about the reasoning behind marking, but a new study takes that one step further. It explains that dogs aren't just choosing the same spots, they pick prominent urban landscape features that "maximize visual impact and odor distribution."Not to get too graphic here, but this study is the first to examine the poop side, looking at fecal marking of wild wolves to see how choices can tell others about territory control, mating status, and more. If you're not to queasy from poop talk, read more.

Of the 101 "droppings" examined, 74.8 percent were in conspicuous spots showing that wolves chose places and plants of a certain height, diameter, and type, frequenting popular locations and multidirectional crossroads. Lisa Peterson, director of communications for the AKC weighed into Discovery News, adding:

That's probably why when little dogs urinate, they often lift their back leg up as high as possible – sometimes looking as though they're nearly falling over – because they're trying to pee as high as they possibly can.

So here's your homework: Next time you're out, pay attention to see if your pooches prefer to do no. 2 in the same spots on your daily walks and if they use a super-high leg lift for no.1!

I already enjoy watching Dogs 101 and now it's time for the kitties to get some love! Animal Planet will air two special episodes solely dedicated to cat breeds and I can't wait. The first one premieres on Dec. 6 at 8 p.m. with the second airing the following Saturday. If you like to know what's in store, I've got the list of breeds we'll meet tomorrow including this furball. Find out what kind she is (and about those other felines) when you read more.

This episode will feature heartwarming "Cat came back!" stories in addition to spotlighting this Ragdoll, along with the American Shorthair, Savannah, Scottish Fold, Persian, and Sphynx! Dare I say that tuning in will help you rock the kitty portions of the Guess What Breed? game in the future.

Found! Rose McGowan's Four-in-One Pet Carrier

PetSugar — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 14:00:00 -0800

I'd have to say Rose McGowan won me over when she appeared in the Dogs 101 episode featuring Boston Terriers – I knew she was an animal activist, but I didn't realize how dedicated she was to my fave breed! She volunteers with Boston Terrier Rescue Net, helping to place pups, and even had two smooshies of her own. Sadly she lost one of her precious pals, Fester, earlier this year but I'm glad to see her bringing Bug out and about – how cute is she?!

Pick up a Pet Wheel-Away ($78) in black, red, green, or this "zippy zebra" pattern. Not only is it perfect for jet-setting, hidden straps make it an easy backpack convert if you don't want to hold the handle or wheel it around. It comes with a padded bed for cross-country trips and the three-sided mesh feature helps your furry friend keep a watchful eye on you, too.

Check out a couple more pictures of Rose and Bug – snuggling and kissing her head, awwww! – below.
