Dogs are freaking AWESOME. (2 Viewers)

They really are the best. Don't know how I'm going to deal with the loss of mine that's coming soon. The joy they bring and the unabashed love they give is second to none. My dog's devotion and love for our family shames me at times.

 
the girlfriend has two Vizlas and they're fun dogs. one of the is 14 years old and competes in agility courses/training. it's cool to see actually. her other dog is still really good dog but awfully glad to have the attention of me.

Saw that today. Extremely heartbreaking, but very touching. My folks lost their black lab, Ridley, last week. We all got together as a family (folks, sister, me and my wife and newborn son) on Sunday to have a few bottles of win and remember how good of a dog he was. He'll be greatly missed.

 
Yay animals live in my house with people! They are just like people too, they get meals and snacks and they have a bed and toys! Also they #### on the living room floor!

 
They found a heart murmur in our male weim today. This comes 11 months after we found one in his sister, and 6 months after she passed from heart failure. Needless to say it was a somber day. It still could be very minor and we'll schedule a specialist appt Monday, but I really don't want to go through this again. He's my best friend.

Study proves what we already knew.

Dogs love us more than cats do

A BBC study indicates your cats don't love you very much. At least, they don't love you as much as your dogs do. Today.com reported that dogs are five times more loving of their owners than cats.

The study comes from a BBC documentary show called "Cats Vs. Dogs."

Researchers studied the chemical oxytocin, which signals bonding with offspring and deep pleasure for humans. Ten cats and 10 dogs were swabbed for saliva before playing with their owners for 10 minutes. When they were tested afterward, oxytocin levels were higher in both animals, but the difference is in the amount the chemical increased.

There was a 12 percent increase in the cats tested, with more than a 57 percent spike in dogs.

Dr. Paul Zak, a neuroscientist, worked with the documentary's results and was surprised that dogs produced so much oxytocin. "It was also a nice surprise to discover that cats produce any at all," he said. "At least some of the time, cats seem to bond with their owners."
