It seems that my issues with the site are still going on, even when I’m in Private mode. Do not be surprised if I have trouble replying or commenting. Even so...grab a cuppa and something tasty. All are welcome to join the fun, the silliness, the conversations. If you don’t know...just ask! Some things really do require a bit of explanation. There will be a few surprises along the way, all good ones, we hope. We are here to keep building the Daily Kos Community. We post Mon-Sun at 10:30 a.m. Eastern. Pie fights will be met with outrageous ridicule and insults. Trolls will be incinerated and served at the next group BBQ. As briquettes. Because of that wonderful Tweet in yesterday’s diary, I thought I’d treat us to this, today! Ever wonder why some dogs wear red bandanas out in public? It’s not always just a fashion statement! "Red is the signal that this pet is aggressive and needs space from both people and other animals," explains Dr. Brian Evans, veterinarian and medical director of virtual vet care company Dutch. "These are pets that have been known to snap or bite at passersby, attack other dogs, or lunge at people. These pets may be perfectly fine at home with their owner but become overly protective of them when they are out." That said, not all dog owners use this color-coded language. In the United States, we tend to see it more in professional settings. For example, Amy Shojai, a certified animal behavior consultant, notes that red dog collars are commonly used by the National Association of Canine Scent Work (NACSW). "The red bandana simply warns others to give the dog distance, yet allows the person and dog to participate in relative safety," Shojai explains. As a rule of thumb, it's always best practice to use caution when approaching a new dog and to always ask permission before extending your hand. If the owner says they'd prefer you didn't pet their dog, this is likely to protect you, the pup, and the owner. www.msn.com/... www.crowdyfan.com/… But when it IS a fashion statement, we all know that Thistle can ROCK it! bonus notus: If you’re lucky enough to get TCM, one of the best movies is on tonight at 8 Eastern. The Lady Eve The cast, alone, is reason to watch, as is the script by Preston Sturges. It’s a treat for the eyes and ears and is one of only a handful of Henry Fonda movies that I’ve enjoyed. The living embodiment of being a smart ass! New Day Cafe Is An Open Thread What’s on your mind this morning?
