What were they thinking?

Picture this - Researchers standing around watching 7000 of  us doggies peeing and pooping with compasses in hand to check which way we align ourselves when taking a wizz.  Doh - even we doggies are laughing at this one!

Well it appears we like a north south orientation - whoop te doo!  We are shaking our heads wondering what use knowing this information will be....as compared to doing REAL research into something important like doggie cancer?  Hmm maybe if peeps get lost they can follow our pee and poop trails to find there way home :) :)

If you want to scratch your head and wonder "what were they thinking?"  - you can read more about the research here

  2. I read that this morning....interesting about the north-south thing though, I find it to be quite true, but I didn't have to do "research" to figure that out!

  4. We KNOW this sounds KRAZY... butt we heard this on the news also...
    So MOM has been paying attention to OUR alignment... and guess what... WE do the North South thingy fur POOPING.. when we have the chance to. It depends on which place we are... when the "MOOD" hits us... If we are In our safe pen... not so much... butt when we are out in the YARD... we do the North South thingy.
    BUTT our big question is WHY peeps pay so much attention to our Peeing and Pooping???

  5. BOL! I will say that I did discover Hunter's trait before he poops is one that most Bichons have-he does circles before he lets loose.
    Hope you have a wonderful weekend-here in Colorado we have 3" of fresh snow on the ground.

  7. What in dawg's creation do they need to know which direction we orient ourselves in while peeing? What can they possibly get out of that? How stupid!

  11. The peeps were discussing this at the river yesterday. But they decided that it may have more to do with which way the truck tyres were facing...bwahaahaa! (Let's hope there was no taxpayers money involved in that study.)

  14. Our mom had no sense of direction. All she knows if there is a tree or bush or a plant, then those will definately get peed on by us dogs.

  15. Well my brother and I poop south to north. So I guess if you to not have a compass it might be helpful......... NOT. I do hope TAX PAYERS MONEY was NOT used.

  16. Mom and we were chuckling at that story when we heard it this morning. We should all unite and start to pee East to West and really confuse them.

  17. While we are chuckling at how ridiculous people are, we agree, time and money could be better spent on a million other things. Lee and Phod

  19. In the winter Katie's a east-west kind of girl cause that's the way the path is through the snow that her Dad made for her pooping pleasure. So that sort of shoots this research all to heck. Big waste of money.

  20. Mom said she will check it out when I use the powder room this evening! But how could she come with me to the powder room? It's private!

  25. It sounds like people with too much time on their hands. They should be doing something important like making us better treats. Mommy says you both have the cutest faces!

  28. Well, I can assure you that my momma is very exercised about this whole thing and was quite disgruntled tonight when an overcast sky prevented her from getting her bearings when I made my deposits. She even has a scorecard.
