Fumble! NFL Player Injured While Potty-Training His Puppy
Three month old Lil’ Rufio took down a NFL player, Joseph Fauria, with one move — evading capture after being caught trying to do his outdoor business indoors. Fauria doesn’t blame the puppy for his injury, a sprained ankle, he just hopes to get better soon so he can play for the Lions again. In the meantime, he is much more careful when he needs to take Lil’ Rufio potty.
Your Pet Might Be Peeved!
If you are going to pet another dog, you should be prepared with an extra treat for your own. A study by psychology professor Christine Harris and her former student, Caroline Prouvost, seems to show that dogs get jealous and act out with attention seeking behavior when their owners pet another dog. Harris said that the dog not only acts jealous, he actively tries to break up the connection.
