Canem Caudis (Doggy Tails)

 Top Dog

A stray dog which had been tracking some mountain climbers in Nepal, and had refused to be shooed away by the Sherpas, ended up making it to the top of the 23,000ft mountain the Baruntse. The Sherpas thought that this was so auspicious that one adopted the cross breed (sheep dog and mastiff), and named her 'Baru'

To be fair Baru had to be helped for some parts of the climb, and was strapped to climbers for those parts of the climb. She had originally latched on to climb team leader Don Wargowsky from Seattle USA. Its believed to be a record climb for a dog.

Urinary Interests

Small dogs try to make themselves seem bigger by raising the angle of their legs higher while cocking it to mark a wall with pee, thus marking higher than their bodies.

Mammals generally seem to prefer to urinate on a north south alignment to the Earth's magnetic field. There is even apparently a 'universal law of urination' - all mammals over three kilogrammes take about 21 seconds to empty their full bladders.

Chews and Socks

A vet in Kelsall Chershire pulled a size 11 men's sock out of the backside of a springer spaniel puppy named Ruby ..... just telling this, because for once, I have used someone else's headline.

WAG lifestyle

Mr Zhou Xiaoshual loves his doggies .... so he built them an air conditioned villa with a pool, in Huai'an in China.
