50 Dog Behaviors And What They Mean

50 Dog Behaviors And What They Mean. If you’ve always wondered what your dog was telling here it is. They did miss one about hunting dog behavior.

3 duck hunters were out and bragging about their bird dogs. The first guy says “my dog can go over that hill if there’s ducks he’ll come back and tell me”. He tells the dog “go.” The dog goes over the hill and comes back and paws the ground once. The hunter says “see he’s telling me there’s ducks over there.”

The second hunter says “my dog can tell him how many ducks.” He sends his dog over another hill and the dog comes back and paws the ground 4 times. He says “see, my dog’s telling me there’s 4 ducks over that hill.”

The 3rd hunter doesn’t say anything but sends his dog over another hill. The dog doesn’t come back and the other two hunters are laughing at his dumb dog. The dog finally returns and starts humping his owner’s leg. The other two start laughing again making comments about his dumb dog. The 3rd hunter says “you guys don’t get it. He’s telling me there’s so many f**king ducks over the hill that he can’t count them.”

Prominent feminist offers advice to the little people: Kill your dogs

Outspoken Australian feminist Germaine Greer has launched a stinging attack on domestic dogs, blaming them for the ruination of a protected perennial flower, the English bluebell.

Germaine Greer’s fifteen minutes of fame expired years ago. The once prominent feminist is now struggling to find a new cause célèbre that can restart the clock. Oddly enough, she seems to have settled on the plight of her favorite flower.

Germaine Greer dislikes dog poo almost as much as we dislike the phrase "dog poo"

Outspoken Australian feminist Germaine Greer has launched a stinging attack on domestic dogs, blaming them for the ruination of a protected perennial flower, the English bluebell.

Addressing Britain’s Hay Festival on Thursday, the 72-year-old Melbourne-born academic who owns a patch of land covered in the plant that flowers in spring, pointed the finger at toxic dog poo for the plant’s scarcity.

”If you love your bluebells, kill your dog,” said Greer dramatically…

Overdramatically, actually.

Toxic dog poo. Watch out, Rachel Carson. Here comes Germaine Greer with a new book called “Silent but Deadly Spring.”

2,388-page, 14-pound environmental impact report mandates stricter dog leash laws in San Francisco

Here’s your federal government in action. It took 2,388-pages and, we would imagine, several million dollars to set up a new series of laws that say, “Don’t throw a Frisbee to Fido and don’t let Rover run free.”

The newest class of criminals in San Francisco

Not if you live in San Francisco, that is. The eco-wackos have studied these issues in great detail and set out a whole new list of restrictions.

The San Francisco Examiner details the new doggie no-noes:

The federal government proposes to drastically reduce where dogs can roam off leash in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, and limit the number of animals that professionals can walk at one time to as few as three.

In The City, for instance, people who want to let their dogs roam freely at Fort Funston would be limited to a stretch of shoreline and a section by the parking lot. And off-leash enjoyment would be prohibited entirely at Lands End and Baker Beach, which currently allow animals to be managed by voice control.

The suggestions are part of a 2,388-page, 14-pound draft environmental impact report outlining the proposed rules at 21 federal open spaces in San Francisco, San Mateo and Marin counties.

Also, the recreation area is proposing that dog owners at Ocean Beach, Fort Mason and four other open spaces in The City abide by more-constricting rules.

The new system is meant to strike a balance between park landscape, native wildlife and the 16 million visitors — which includes dog owners and hang-glider users — who visit the park’s open spaces each year.

Oh, fine. As if the new restrictions on dogs weren’t bad enough, now we find out they also apply to hang gliders.

So remember to take a plastic bag and clean up after your hang glider, because you know what a mess they can make on the beach.
