DOGS RULE


dogs-teamworkOkay, I’m not saying other animals don’t rule…so don’t send me an email about my title. LOL. πŸ™‚

I’m a dog lover and have two Shetland Sheep dogs. So, when my friend, Michele, sent me some neat little facts about dogs, I had to share.

But, I couldn’t just give them to you straight, right? I mean, what’s the fun in that, right?

Since I love trivia games, I had to turn the little facts into one…So, give it a shot. I’ll post the answers and the link to all the neat little trivia on the website.

1. Dogs are color blind. True or False.
2. Where are a dog’s sweat glands located?
3. What breed of dog has 6 toes?
4. President Lyndon Johnson had two beagles. What were their names?
5. What’s the name of the Taco Bell Dog?

Leave your guesses in the comments and we’ll see how you do.

If you have some fun little trivia about dogs, leave a comment and see if you can stump us.

    Billy—good guesses, you’ll have to check back to see if you’re right…. πŸ™‚

    Kat — that’s a funny story!!

    Sarah—so, it seems Billy is leading the pack on the answers….I hear ya on the dogs keeping me sane. LOL.

    I’ve been sick the last three days, yesterday was the worst part of it, I was stuck in bed, but you know what? My sweet dogs cuddled up with me and kept me company. Man, they are so awesome!!

    Yep, I’m with Billy on the first two as well… And also clueless about the rest. And totally in agreement with the crowd that DOGS rule! My Sadie (pit bull/boxer mix) is a little over two years old and she keeps me sane in ways that no human has ever been able to! πŸ™‚

    I’m right there with Billy. I’m stumped on the last three.

    As for the Taco Bell dog, my former neighbors — a Mexican family — used to have a chihuahua named Speedy that looked just like the Taco Bell dog.

    One day, they invited my family to their house to eat Pizza. We all put our pizza on a plate and took it out to the front porch to eat. We left the remaining pizza in the box on the kitchen table. (By the time everyone had gone through to grab their food, only one piece was left.)

    I finished eating and walked back into the empty house to put my plate and cup in the sink. There was Speedy, standing on the table IN the pizza box. When I entered the room, he looked up at me with a piece of pizza hanging out of his mouth and looked at me.

    I swear, I almost expected him to say, “Que? Tengo hambre.”

    He looked so funny.

    I THINK dogs are color blind, and I THINK they sweat through their tongues. As for the rest, you have me stumped yet again.

    But you’re right. Dogs rule.
