Canine Comedians

Ever wonder if your dog is secretly chuckling alongside you? Well, delight in the fact that research now confirms dogs indeed possess a sense of humor.

It seems our furry friends are quite the comedians, particularly fond of pulling playful pranks on us, their unsuspecting humans. This penchant for jest was observed by none other than Charles Darwin in the mid-19th century, noting how dogs cleverly bide their time before springing into action with a toy just as we draw near.

Furthering this amusing insight, a recent study from California has unveiled that dogs are not just playful tricksters but also capable of enjoying a good laugh, often at our expense. They communicate their merriment through unique vocal cues, essentially laughing with us (or perhaps at us). While we might occasionally play the unwitting participants in their comedy, the joy it brings them makes every playful moment a treasure.

Dancing Delight: The Comedy of this Canine's Welcome

This enchanting video, captured by Airbnb guests, showcases a delightful encounter that quickly blossomed into a heartwarming friendship with the home's resident canine, Oh-la-la. Overflowing with enthusiasm for his new acquaintances, Oh-la-la couldn't resist expressing his joy through a spontaneous and utterly adorable dance, a spectacle of wagging tails and happy prances. 

But beyond the warmth and affection, there's a delightful layer of humor in Oh-la-la's performance. His earnest dance moves, a blend of clumsy twirls and eager leaps, bring a smile not just for their affection but for their comedic timing, transforming a simple greeting into a memorable moment of laughter and love. 

It's a scene that captures the essence of joyous welcomes, infused with a touch of canine comedy, making it impossible not to fall head over heels for such an exuberant and amusing welcome.

Dog Facts To Boost Your Mood!
Need a little pick-me-up? Look no further than these five fun dog facts guaranteed to bring a smile to your face and a wag to your tail!

  1. Tail Wagging Communication: Did you know that dogs use their tails not just to express happiness, but also to communicate? A wag to the right indicates excitement or happiness, while a wag to the left may suggest fear or anxiety. It's like their own secret language!

  2. Nose Prints are Unique: Just like human fingerprints, every dog's nose print is unique. In fact, it's often used for identification purposes, making each pup truly one-of-a-kind.

  3. Dreaming Dogs: Ever notice your pooch twitching or making noises while asleep? That's because dogs experience dreams just like we do! They may even mimic activities from their day, from chasing squirrels to playing fetch.

  4. Powerful Sniffers: Dogs have an incredible sense of smell, with some breeds boasting up to 300 million scent receptors in their noses. That's why they make excellent search and rescue dogs, sniffing out everything from missing persons to contraband.

  5. Puppy Love: Dogs release oxytocin, the "love hormone," when interacting with humans. This not only strengthens the bond between pet and owner but also boosts both parties' mood and overall well-being.

So, the next time you're feeling down, just remember these paw-sitive doggy facts to brighten your day!

Another Way To Boost Your Mood
If you've ever struggled to enjoy cannabis due to the harshness of smoking or vaping, you're not alone. That's why these new cannabis gummies caught our eye.

Mood is an online dispensary that has invented a "joint within a gummy" that's extremely potent yet federally-legal. Their gummies are formulated to tap into the human body's endocannabinoid system. 

Although this system was discovered in the 1990's, farmers and scientists at Mood were among the first to figure out how to tap into it with cannabis gummies. Just 1 of their rapid onset THC gummies can get you feeling right within 5 minutes!

Homemade Bone Broth Collagen-Infused Dog Treats
Nothing says love like homemade treats for your furry friend, and when those treats come packed with health benefits, it's a win-win! If you're looking for a wholesome and nourishing snack to pamper your pup, look no further than these bone broth collagen-infused dog treats. Easy to make and packed with nutrients, these treats will have your dog's tail wagging with delight!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of bone broth (chicken, beef, or turkey)
  • 1 tablespoon of powdered collagen supplement (choose a flavorless, high-quality option)
  • 1 cup of whole wheat flour (or alternative flour for grain-free option)
  • 1/2 cup of rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup of finely chopped fresh parsley (optional for added freshness)
  • 1 egg

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the bone broth and powdered collagen supplement. Stir well to ensure the collagen is fully dissolved in the broth.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg until lightly beaten, then add it to the bone broth mixture. Mix thoroughly.

  4. Gradually add the whole wheat flour (or alternative flour) and rolled oats to the wet ingredients, stirring until a thick dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour until it reaches the desired consistency.

  5. Once the dough is ready, you can add in the chopped parsley if using, mixing it evenly throughout the dough.

  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes or simply slice the dough into squares or rectangles.

  7. Place the cut-out treats onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each treat.

  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the treats are golden brown and crispy.

  9. Once baked, remove the treats from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.

  10. Once cooled, these delicious bone broth collagen-infused treats are ready to be enjoyed by your pup! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

These homemade dog treats offer more than just great taste. The bone broth provides a rich source of nutrients, including amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, which promote joint health, digestion, and overall well-being in dogs. Adding collagen supplements enhances these benefits, supporting your dog's skin, coat, and joint health. With the added bonus of fresh parsley, these treats also contribute to fresh breath and improved dental health for your furry friend.
