Opinicus[_2_]
From last week's *The Economist*:
"For people, the average CFF (critical flicker-fusion frequency: the
lowest frequency at which a flickering light appears to be a constant
source of illumination) is 60 hertz (ie, 60 times a second). This is

Rescue Adventurer Leaves to Get a Job by
Jo Wolf
Back in September, our Border Terrier rescue got a waif from a shelter
in Arkansas. Before we could move him to a long-term foster in

why do dogs roll on their backs? by
[email protected]
My long-haired Chihuahua loves to sniff each lawn on the block, but one and only one house on the block she does something strange.

We have had the male dog for several years now, a big softie most of
the time and usually well behaved when out - except if he takes a
dislike to another dog, which is about 50/50. Then he tries to go in to

[email protected]
When should I expect to see results from potty training?
I have a 13-week old lab mix. I got him from a rescue group at six
weeks.
I'm with him all day and have him on a regular schedule of going out
