Here is newest addition to our family! His name is Shadow and he is a Polish Sheepdog (PON). He is almost six weeks old in this pic (taken by StarPONs breeder) but is now eight weeks old. He is so sweet and smart and fun! More pix later but right now in honor of Shadow I thought it might be fun to share some dog stats in this week’s blog:
*Dogs sweat through the pads of their feet because they have sweat glands between their pads.
*A dog’s whisker’s can sense the tiniest changes in airflow.
*Touch is the first sense a dog develops.
*The U.S. has the most pet dogs in the world. France and Brazil have the next highest number of pet dogs.
*In Iran it is against the law to own a dog as a pet.
*Adult dogs need one ounce of water per pound of body weight each day.
