I meant to post this for yesterday's blog but was on the road all day and just remembered this morning … so here is a link to a fascinating New York Times story on the latest research into how dogs think. The focus of the piece is on Dr. Brian Hare of Duke University, who is also the chief scientific officer of "a new company called Dognition, which produces a Web site where people can test their dog’s cognition, learn about their pets and, Dr. Hare hopes, supply him and his colleagues with scientific data on tens of thousands of dogs."
I thought you would enjoy reading this if you haven't already.

I took Wilbur to Burlington yesterday for surgery to remove a small growth on his head. The surgery went well, and his blood pressure had finally hit the target we were looking for, so the little tyke is doing just great. We got back late yesterday afternoon.
