Your Dog Really Can Tell When You Are Happy

June 12, 2018 by Bitter Staff Leave a Comment

Science finally confirms what dog owners have always believed: dogs can tell the difference between happy and angry human faces. While there is a fairly strong scientific consensus that many species of animals express emotions similar to our own, this is the first study able to show that animals really can discern emotions across species – leaving…

Some Thoughts on Peace, Grieving, And Old Dogs

February 20, 2015 by Kaleb Horton 2 Comments

A few years ago I decided happiness is an “event” emotion, a narcotic, spurred by a calorically dense dinner or finding a five-dollar bill in a parking lot.

February 18, 2015 by Bitter Staff Leave a Comment

It is Dog Show time again! Westminster Kennel Club is presenting their annual dog show. The winners of the Hound, Toy, Non-Sporting and Herding groups were chosen on Monday, but even we do not love the dog show enough to dedicate six hours of our week to it, so we are only recapping the final…

The Travesty of the National Dog Show: A Critical Analysis

November 28, 2014 by Bitter Staff Leave a Comment

The National Dog Show is a seething hot bed of scandal and intrigue. Let us begin with the nepotism. It’s not only rampant, it’s blatant. John O’Hurley broke the story that Bogey the Samoyed was not only appointed ruler of all the Working Group dogs, so were at least three of his relatives. Enough with…
