"Inside a broken clock

Splashing the wine

With all the Rain Dogs

Taxi, we'd rather walk

Huddle a doorway with the Rain Dogs

For I am a Rain Dog, too

 

Oh, how we danced and we swallowed the night

For it was all ripe for dreaming

Oh, how we danced away all of the lights

We've always been out of our minds

 

The Rum pours strong and thin

Beat out the dustman

With the Rain Dogs

Aboard a shipwreck train

Give my umbrella to the Rain Dogs

For I am a Rain Dog, too"

Thank you all for visits, favs and comments, it's greatly appreciated!

Yashka met a dog of the same age as he is (18 months) in the park. And they had a lot of fun playing together.

Dogs eye view of the green house. I believe Whittaker thinks the space is creepy or haunted. He never passes the doorway..🐾 maybe he knows things..

"Why are you still on that computer???"

On black please, I think this is a photo that really benefits from it.

Della and Tug down at the beach. How come Della looks guilty when it is always Tug who is getting into trouble!

Actually we didn't even leave the driveway. I would never drive with my windows open while a dog was in the car. I have seen too many dogs who have jumped out and gotten hurt.

We have company and I just didn't have time to figure out a photo or take Minty someplace. So we used an old idea from Della and Tug's albums.

I just love this one of the boys together, they are both so alert and ready for action here

It’s an age-old question: Why are dogs loyal? Some might argue that it’s just because we give them food and shelter, but any dog lover knows there’s more to it than that. After all, we give food and shelter to hamsters and goldfish. But those animals usually aren’t quite as devoted as dogs. Pooches cry when we leave the house, jump for joy when we come home and live and breath for our affection. So why is this? Exactly why are dogs so loyal to their humans?

 

Shared History

Animal experts frequently attribute the loyalty of dogs to a shared history. Canis lupus familiaris and homo sapiens have evolved together. The link between the two species dates many, many years back.

 

Researchers first theorized that dogs as we know them today evolved from wolves after they began cohabiting with humans. However, more recent studies have found a different conclusion. Experts now believe that dogs split off from their wolf ancestors approximately 135,000 years ago — before dogs or wolves started living with humans.

 

In fact, archeological evidence, like buried dog bones near human settlements, only really date back 13,000 years. So it stands to reason that the current theory is that wolves evolved into dogs without the help of humans. But once dogs and humans started counting on one another, they became inextricably linked.

 

Since the early days of becoming man’s best friend, dogs have become emotionally bonded to us. Many dogs pick up on our moods, and can tell when we’re sad or angry. And we understand dogs in return. We can read their expressions and tell when they’re scared, upset or joyful.

 

Pack Behavior

Loyalty is also just a natural behavior for dogs. Dogs are pack animals, meaning they are social creatures who prefer the company of other animals. This behavior is a survival mechanism too. Packs succeed because the members of the group depend on one another to survive.

 

Many dog trainers and other animal experts believe this pack mentality also causes dogs to be loyal to their humans. They think pooches view people as just another member of the pack. So dogs don’t just love a good cuddle — they also think loyalty will keep them alive. In fact, you’ll frequently hear trainers say that during obedience training, you need to assert yourself as the “alpha dog.” If your dog views you as the head of their pack, they’ll follow your lead.
