I knew men were dogs

According to this article, both men and the puppas raise and lower the pitch of their voices (or barks) depending on whether they feel dominant or submissive. Woof!

Funny, somewhat related story: My bro's golden is getting humped by everything with four legs at doggie daycare -- I'm talking big dogs, little dogs, dogs previously uninterested in her sweet golden ass, etc. I don't know if her name is on the wall of some choice dog bathroom or what, but my bro says the vet thinks she has some kind of UTI that's emitting a scent that only other doggies can smell, which is attracting them. Dogs are gross.

And another smelly animal story: M and I were driving under the railroad bridge by my house, and there was a black-and-white critter sitting stock-still under there. I started freaking that he was going to bolt and fill the underside of the Camry with skunk rot. He didn't, but M looked down as we were passing through the tunnel, and he MOVED. Eww. He was about a foot away from my car. I went under the same bridge 10 minutes later, and Pepe Le Pew was gone. Run away, little stinky, run away.
