Trivia about Dogs

A dog's whiskers are touch-sensitive hairs called vibrissae. They are found on the
muzzle, above the eyes and below the jaws, and can actually sense tiny changes in
airflow.

According to a recent survey, the most popular name for a dog is Max. Other popular
names include Molly, Sam, Zach, and Maggie.

According to ancient Greek literature, when Odysseus arrived home after an absence of
20 years, disguised as a beggar, the only one to recognize him was his aged dog Argos,
who wagged his tail at his master, and then died.

An American Animal Hospital Association poll showed that 33 percent of dog owners
admit that they talk to their dogs on the phone or leave messages on an answering
machine while away.

An estimated 1 million dogs in the United States have been named the primary
beneficiary in their owner's will.

Dog Waste – 10 Environmental Tips:
by
Wayne Tuttle

For as long as the dog has been man's best friend, dog waste
has posed a menace to our society and environment.

Know what’s worse than picking up dog waste? Stepping in
it. Did you know, each year, countless people end up in
hospital emergency rooms from slipping on dog waste? Their
sustained injuries often include sprained or broken bones,
cuts and bruises, and head trauma.
Today, many cities and towns are imposing fines from $50.00
to $750.00 for NOT picking up after your pet.

Know what’s worse than that? Swimming or fishing in
contaminated water. But the worst of all is drinking water that
may have dog waste in it.

It is estimated that 3.6 Billion pounds of dog waste is
produced each year in the United States. But sadly, many
irresponsible pet owners think it is OK to let their dog “GO”
anywhere and just leave it behind. Pet waste left on the
ground, especially near streets and sidewalks, gets washed
into storm drains and drainage ditches, which flow to the
local waterway. This water, called runoff, does not get
cleaned or treated along the way, so anything that goes into
the storm drain or ditch goes into the water. Bacteria,
parasites, and viruses found in pet waste can be harmful to
water quality and human health.

We need to do our part to stop dog waste from being a
menace to our society and environment. Here are a few
things You can do to help.

1.        Pick up Your pet’s waste every single time.
2.        Deposit pet waste bags in to nearest garbage
container.
3.        Never wash pet waste into the street or storm drain.
4.        Take advantage of complimentary waste bags offered
in dispensers at Your local park.
5.        Always use biodegradable waste bags. Grocery bags
NEVER degrade in our landfills.
6.        Carry extra bags, just in case your dog “Goes” more
than once. Make them available to other pet owners who may
have forgotten to bring one.
7.        Teach children how to clean up after their pet.
8.        Put a friendly reminder on the bulletin board at your
local dog park.
9.        Tell friends and neighbors about WHY they should pick
up after their pet.
10.        Put a lawn sign on your property, reminding other pet
owners to Stoop N Scoop.

Above All…Be A Responsible Pet Parent !
ALWAYS Pick Up After Your Pet !
