Making the list

So she was surfing again.  My human. On the Internet.  And she came across this site that had all this non-scientific info about different dog breeds.  For example: which breeds live the longest; which are the laziest; which are the smartest, etc. etc.  So of COURSE she had to find out which lists we PONs were on.  Seems we didn’t make the smart list.  So right there you know these lists are bogus.  We DID make the healthiest list.  We didn’t make the “quietest list.”  That’s thanks to Frodo.

Paxton and his Berner cousins made the “most active” list AND the “laziest” list.  Figure THAT one out.  I’m not joking!  Berners also made the #1 spot in breeds that have the highest medical costs.  If they all have the habit of eating ANYTHING - like Pax, it is no wonder – those surgeries to remove inedible objects are NOT cheap! And we know ALL about it.

And get this – Border Collies were #1 on the smart list, and they also made the list for breeds that get lost most often.  Seriously.  Now THAT doesn’t seem very SMART does it?! 

We didn’t make any other lists.  Not the fastest.  Not the most likely to bite people (thank goodness).  Not the cheapest or the most expensive.  Not the best lap dog – although I DO try.

I think they need OTHER categories.  Like the most comedic. Or the most calculating.  Or the best escape artists.  Or the best squeakers when there is nothing to do.  Or the most likely to run for political office.  So who do I see about running more “research?”  I need to get on this one….
