Thanks for reminding me Doc. My wife has been telling me I should get this book. I just downloaded the K-Edition.

I have slowly but surely come to the realisation that my dog is the sanest creature I know, including me!

haha, quite true mate!
Research shows that:
• Pet ownership is probably associated with a reduction in heart disease risk factors and increased survival among patients.
• Dog ownership in particular may help reduce cardiovascular risk. People with dogs may engage in more physical activity because they walk them. In a study of more than 5,200 adults, dog owners engaged in more walking and physical activity than non-dog owners, and were 54 percent more likely to get the recommended level of physical activity.
• Owning pets may be associated with lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and a lower incidence of obesity.
• Pets can have a positive effect on the body's reactions to stress.

I adopted a southern pitbull/shepard mix back in october. Got him at 8 weeks. Best thing I ever did. He's smart as a whip, and I've trained him with positive reinforcement since day 1. Now he's 80lbs and still has growing to do. Between my wife and 2 crazy little ones, the dog is the best behaved.

I so want to get another dog but it's such a commitment and financial responsibility. I got my dog from the rescue centre when she was about 12 weeks old. She was very naughty. Had her for 9 years now I think roughly. She's a ridgeback cross and follows me everywhere.
So tempted to get her a little friend.

Pilley JW. Border collie comprehends sentences containing a prepositional object, verb, and direct object. Learning and Motivation. ScienceDirect.com - Learning and Motivation - Border collie comprehends sentences containing a prepositional object, verb, and direct object
This study tested the ability of a Border Collie, Chaser, to learn the syntax and semantics of sentences consisting of three elements of grammar, a prepositional object, verb, and direct object. Understanding of the syntax of the sentences required that Chaser emit responses consistent with three elements of grammar sentences, such as to ball take Frisbee. Understanding of the semantics of the sentences required that Chaser respond correctly when the meanings of the sentences were changed by reversing positions of the prepositional object and the direct object in the sentence, such as to Frisbee take ball. Chaser's understanding of the sentences was tested in three different scenarios: (a) when multiple and familiar objects were used in the syntax command sentence, (b) when novel objects were used in the syntax command sentence (novel in the sense that objects had not been used during training), and (c) when vision of objects was not possible at the time the syntax command was verbalized. Findings were statistically significant in all three scenarios. Successful findings were attributed to Chaser's intensive training in her first three years of life. Analysis of the data revealed that Chaser's successful understanding of the syntax sentences required the processing and retention of two sound-object mappings (names-objects) into memory, along with simultaneous judgments concerning which object to take to the other – that is, working memory. These two types of cognitive abilities, memory storage and working memory, raise the bar in terms of our expectations of a dog's potential ability to understand verbal communications. We propose that Chaser's understanding of our three elements of grammar sentences represents a giant leap in her referential understanding of language.
