May 21, 2019 - - When they’re sleeping

Friends - For the next few weeks we're going to consider common sounds that dogs make and what they mean.

Whining, crying, and whimpering could indicate emotional distress or pain.
Dog whining, crying, and whimpering can also mean several different things, according to the American Kennel Club. Your pup could be vocalizing because he needs or wants something, such as food or attention. Dogs that are stressed, scared, or in pain often will whine, too. Here's one possibility you may not have considered: Your dog could be whining to apologize to you after being scolded.

May 7, 2019 - When they’re sleeping

Friends - For the next few weeks we're going to consider common sounds that dogs make and what they mean.

Dogs make sounds in their sleep because they're likely dreaming.
When your dog barks, whimpers, or growls in its sleep, it's most likely dreaming, according to Cuteness. Science suggests that canine brains go through similar stages of electrical activity while sleeping as human brains, so they're perfectly capable of dreaming like we do. Vocalizations, muscle twitching, and rapid eye movements indicate your pup is in the REM phase of sleep when dreams occur.

April 25, 2019 - Did you know?

Friends - Charles Darwin’s personal pet tortoise didn’t die until 2006?

Okay, technically she wasn’t his pet, but after his tour of the Galapagos Islands, Charles Darwin brought back a five-year-old tortoise he named Harriet. She outlived her adopter by 124 years, ultimately making it to a whopping 176 years old. Harriet lived out her final years as part of the family of Steve “Crocodile Hunter” Irwin in Australia, until she passed away, in 2006.

April 23, 2019 - Dog sounds

Friends - For the next few weeks we're going to consider common sounds that dogs make and what they mean.

Dogs sometimes make strange honking sounds, called reverse sneezes.
Does your dog ever make a weird sound that's like a combination of hacking, gagging, honking, snorting, and hiccuping all in one? That's known as a reverse sneeze, according to The Bark. And although it may be alarming, it's usually nothing serious.

These short-lived episodes are typically caused by spasming triggered by irritation of the dog's throat and soft palate. Other causes include mites, eating or drinking, pulling on a leash, excitement, foreign objects in the throat, viruses, environmental irritants, and allergies. If your dog reverse sneezes on the regular, definitely get it checked out.

Friends - Did you know some humans have bone density up to 8 times more dense than average?

While most of us have heard of osteoporosis, which leads to brittle bones, we may be less familiar with the gene mutation LRP5. People with the mutation have bones that are many times denser—up to eight times denser, in extreme cases—than the average person’s. There are documented cases of “afflicted” individuals walking away from car accidents and other impact injuries with no fractures or broken bones.

April 16, 2019 - Dog sounds

Friends - For the next few weeks we're going to consider common sounds that dogs make and what they mean. If you're a dog owner, you know that canines have a language all their own. Whether they're barking, growling, whining or howling, they're trying to tell you something - and it pays to be informed about what those sounds could mean. Because, while they're often harmless, such vocalizations could be a sign of trouble.

Coughing in dogs usually isn't a big deal, but it can become a problem.
If your dog coughs every once in a while, that's perfectly normal, according to WebMD. However, if a cough becomes persistent, it could be a serious problem, such as kennel cough, distemper, heart disease, a fungal infection, heartworms, lung problems, or congestive heart failure.
