An injury

I tried to jump on a wall today to chase a cat (my people thought I was just going to look over the wall, but I was inspired by the Olympics to try and hurdle it). I scraped my thigh and my tummy and they are quite sore.... I won't try that again!

Six months anniversary

The research team recruited 29 pet owners and their dogs - labradors, border collies, yorkshire terriers, and dobermans. They found that when the experimenters mimicked yawning, 21 out of 29 dogs showed contagious yawning.
