What is it about those Doggos?
Since My pup Tootsie is a Jack Russell, naturally I follow a Facebook page devoted to the JRT. It has 5.6K followers worldwide and is one of several Facebook groups devoted to the breed.
Some folks post frequently while others add something infrequently-- as I do. A week ago, I posted a photo of Tootsie with her poor little face swollen after having five teeth pulled.
She was sitting on my lap, which she did for about six days until she started feeling better and was off the pain pills.
As you can see, Tootsie received many many comments and likes-- more than I ever have.
So with six days of being a lap, I spend much time on Facebook, looking at everything but watching many dog videos. That sent me on a search about the pupularity of dog videos on the Internet.
This also brought up many articles about whether dog or cat videos are more popular. The consensus was the dogs have edged out cats but no one is really sure. My theory is the dog owners like dog videos and cat owners the cat ones. Since there are about 94.2 million or so cats as pets in the U.S. and 8.l7 million dog pets, I think cat videos win. But have you seen the cute ones where big dogs adopt and bring up kittens?
I looked for best doggo sites and went down the rabbit hole (whoops mixed metaphor)--went down the pupper hole! Anyway, the number of sites promoting dog pictures and dog videos seems endless. I guess my addiction isn't too bad because I had not heard of most of them.
And the language! Why are all the captions a mix of baby talk and variants of the words dogs and pups and so on? I am sort of used to it but it is weird. And are all those dog owners named Karen or is that some kind of an inside joke?
Well, this has been heckin pawsome but, Tootsie is fully recovered from her dental surgery so my obsession with dog videos is laid to rest! I hope!
