"What a dog I got, his favorite bone is in my
arm."
Maggie and I have realized we live in a dog world. Maggie likes that. I know because she's all about the WOOF WOOF let's go for a walk! Or a car ride! One day we decided to take a MaggieMoose non-scientific poll. We wanted to see if when we went out & about would it be possible to NOT see a dog walking with their human? The first day we tried this experiment every human we saw was walking two dogs at a time! WOW-a lot of doggy love happening in the neighborhood. I guess some humans want more than on dog. Great news for Maggie's canine pals.
One day of poll taking wasn't enough for our non-official poll so, we carried on our work for a few more days. We saw people walking one dog at a time. Lots of people in fact. All this exercise and human-canine bonding. Most excellent we thought. We know the most popular dogs in our neighborhood are the Golden Retrievers or Labrador Retrievers, but we saw a lot of shorties too. The big dogs stroll at their leisure. The shorties were the quick movers and shakers. We were almost unable to capture them on camera-blitz & gone.
We'd feel like David Attenborough if we were able to spot an English Springer Spaniel like Maggie. English Springer Spaniels are a rare species in our neighborhood. No such canine on our little poll. We did see many dogs species like the friends Maggie has in the virtual pet world (Twitter, Blogs or Facebook). From 100% mutt to Pitt Bull to Pug to WOW-what was that kind? Our conclusion is that every time we go out we will see at least one dog. We live in a dog world here. WOOF WOOF to that! We think that for a lot of these walking dogs their human's arm must be their favorite bone as they lead them about their neighborhood walk.
Maggie & I were so impressed by our non-scientific poll that we decided to create a column called "Neighbor Dog" when our web page is unveiled. It will be online soon, shortly, in a couple weeks according to what our web guy says. Maggie read somewhere we are only separated by 6 degrees of separation.... Since Maggie's world is global we want to highlight pets from around the world which includes our local neighborhood too. If anyone has a pet they want Maggie to highlight in our Neighbor Dog column please send us a photo and some info too (who, what, where, when, why) to our email: maggiemoosetracks@gmail.com. All animals are welcome (cats, horses, rabbits, etc.)-they can have their Dog Day! WOOF WOOF
