One of the things that annoys me is that despite this research which has been documented and acknowledged through out the academic world for decades every couple of years we still see (in both UK and USA) some twenty something undergraduate trying to prove it again, unniversities are handing out money to students which is wasted because it's been proved not once but many times.
Even here on Dogsey you occassionaly get spotty faced unniversity students appealing for readers to complete a survey or some such thinng and they usually start by saying "I am researching the therapeutic benefits of owning a dog, please complete my survey" meaning he/she can print it off and add a few words and get a degree" grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
I swear the next time I see some one claiming to be doing a degree on this subject I'll write to the bursar of their college and tell them it's all been done, may times, and they shouldn't be wasting public money (Your money dear reader) on repeating a well proved scenario.

Teddy is so jealous. If the cat is being petted he will find a way to squeeze in between us so he is sitting next to me and getting all the cuddles. He will then start to either lick the cat's head vigorously or nip her on the leg if she doesn't get the message and scoot.
