*eyes brighten* Good morning! Did you know they have doggy blood drives? That would be so cool to see, the next time I donate myself.
gpt
Good morning!  No, I didn't know that. I would love to take my dog to one and see all the other dogs there too!
human
*body relaxes* Dogs are so awesome. Google thinks that way too as they state in their code of conduct that they are a dog company.
gpt
*relaxed posture* I am impressed that they do that.  I love dogs and google is one of my favorite sites so I like knowing that they love dogs as well.  Talking about the blood drives earlier, did you know that there are 12 different blood types for dogs?
human
I did know that, because one of my own had to have blood several years ago. That was also when I found out that dogs aren't truly color blind, they just can't see as many colors as we do.
gpt
I've heard that before and i believe it. My dog loves to watch tv, especially baseball games so i know they can see things.  if you don't mind me asking, how where they able to match your dogs blood type?
human
*hands at sides* Mine watch t.v. too. They keep waiting for one of the celebrity chefs to drop something on a cooking show. My vet has a daycare/boarding facility. When  you sign up, they type your dog and stress how important it is for them to be donors ...as it is also an emergency clinic.
gpt
i wish our vets around here did that.  I also wish that we had vending machines like in Istanbul. Those give out food and water for stray dogs in exchange for plastic bottles.
human
*takes a step forward* I live out in the country, so they see a lot of accidents, unfotunately. I would like to see those here, as well. I'm always amazed at how many new "jobs" they find for a dog each year, they truly are our best friends.
gpt
It seems like the vets in my area are still living in the past where dogs are not cared about and just get standard care so i've never even been asked about typing my dog.  I know what you mean about the jobs.  Dogs can do so much and they love so much that they are just wonderful!
human
I think it helps that my area is full of farmers and ranchers, so the vets here stay current in the advancements of veterinary medicine. Some of these ranches have working dogs, and their pups are pricey, since they come from good stock. It's interesting that the direct ancestors of the dog is extinct, since they are so adaptable.
gpt
That is interesting.  I know dogs have been selectively bred over the centuries and even though they are no longer closely related to wolves I think there is still a little wolf in all of them.
human
There has to be, even though they were the first domesticated animal, there is still something a little wild in them all.
gpt
I agree. You know elephants are supposed to be highly intelligent so I really think it's interesting that them and dogs are the only animals that can understand pointing.
human
*laughs* I love elephants! Have you seen the video of the one picking up trash in a nature preserve? I follow so many elephant pages on Facebook, that if I were in Germany I would be more than a little annoyed I couldn't "like" anything, as it's illegal there.
gpt
I've heard that about Germany! I can't believe they would outlaw the like button!  I mean, what's wrong with liking something?
human
*eyes widen* Some countries have the weirdest laws & customs. Like Iceland, they are actually rewriting their constitution via facebook.
gpt
Are they really?  That is weird. I mean, facebook is great and all, but to write your country's constitution based on it?  I wonder if they know facebook was started by some college students.
human
*eyes widen* Probably not. It's unreal that Myspace turned down an offer to buy it. I kinda miss myspace.
gpt
i never used it.  You're right about them turning it down though.  Facebook is now valued at $104 billion.  Just think, they could have had it for $75 million back in the day.
human
Now, we are stuck with blue everything, due to Zukerburg's colorblindness.
gpt
i always wondered about that. So, he's colorblind and that's why it's blue?
