This week, we have News for Dogs, and then some . . . 

• First, we talk about a new study on equine sex stereotyping
• Then—how human encouragement influences dogs puzzle solving skills
• and we briefly talk about Delta's new policy, (and a lot about how great pit bulls are).

Plus, your questions:

• Can I make my own dog food?
• What are the air-lock rules at the dog run?
• And can I throw my cat a birthday party?

And like dogs to water, we talk about some swimming and water tips for you and your dog.
