Where well-informed dogs go for their news
Carey Hughes, a longtime friend of ohmidog!, sent along this photo of her dog Bimini, whose attention has been drawn to something on the computer.
Look closely and maybe you can see what website Bim is so caught up in.
It leads us to wonder — how many of the 50,000 visits we’ve been getting a month are actually dogs, logging on after their humans have gone to bed?
Do they visit websites other than ohmidog!?
Do they Google their own names, or if they’re Irish setters, perhaps Doogle them?
Do they enjoy some cyberfetch? Order treats delivered? Go on Facebook and post the trivial details of their lives for all to see:
“Rex is looking out the window watching the snow fall. Can’t wait to play in it. I love snow. Rain, not so much. I’m glad I’m not a cat. OMG, I’m so hungry! And I just ate three hours ago. I think I’ll order some treats.”
Maybe that dog who ordered Xbox points via a remote control is just the tip of the iceberg, and dogs around the world are evolving to the point that they understand computers, or at least understand them as much as humans do.
Or maybe not.
In any event, they’re all welcome here.
Keep reading, Bim.

I’ve met Bimini, and I have to say that he is a very intelligent (not to mention handsome) dog. I’m not surprised that he prefers the unleashed news at ohmidog!. We should ask Cary if he has his own credit card or if she lets him use hers to order those treats.

Although you may experience 50,000 hits/mo, how many visits include dogs (and cats) peering over their humans shoulder?
