Can Dogs look up?
It seems that the question of whether dogs can look up? is bringing hundreds of people to dots and spaces. Google lists me as an authority, but I’m afraid I don’t have much to go on. There might be a clue here, but someone pointed out that this might be due to not letting go of the rock. In the meantime, detailed research is being held at bugs, if you want to find a site that has tons of “SOTD” and “Spaced” information, then look no further than Spaced Out. Anyway, a quick straw poll shows that we’re mostly divided on the subject of dogs looking up, please feel free to contribute to the debate.
*After all this time talking about this subject, the first photo has finally arrived…and its not conclusive. Is the dog merely looking forward towards the person with the dodgy camera phone?
Matt explains more: After seeing Shaun of the Dead again, I made an AIM screen name “dogsCANNOTlookup”, after several dog owners argued with me about a dog’s ability to look up, I agreed. Then I wondered: had my dog ever looked up?
I did a www.ask.com search and came across your beautiful debate on the subject. After reading through the many amused comments, I decided to check my old pictures of the Anti-Christ Pomeranians my mom owns, I came across this single photo. I’m not convinced dogs can look straight up though. I will try to get my dogs to look up and send a more convincing picture in time.
– thanks Matt…
test your pets part 2
I’m afraid test your pets wasn’t a great success. Neil reported that Frankie’s spacial awareness was a bit pants. Harry is ambidextrious, but lacks sensory awareness. On the programme itself, the pets were either super-bright, or wouldn’t perform. The talking Miner Bird, was sadly, quite silent, but Rolf took it with good heart. Food played a big part in terms of rewards – pets don’t really do it for their own satisfaction. The whole thing had a kind of larson quality about it…
Frisbee
Just by our building is an old airfield, with a huge runway, now every lunchtime (weather permitting) we’ve been playing with the frisbee, and escaping from the air conditioning for a few minutes. We were pretty rubbish when we started, but we’re frisbee champs now, each one of us perfecting our frisbee technique. We’ve noticed how you have to adapt your style for each of the two or three frisbees we’ve been using…am I going into too much detail. Anyway, this site has hundreds of frisbees. There’s also a link to Wham-o who claim to sell the orginals. Come on people…make your summer….a frisbee summer.
