A Mystery Solved, An Excuse and We are Yellow!

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

1 The Mystery

Some of you may recall seeing this humiliating video of poor Tara searching for her red ball in a pile of leaves.

Since this video was made I have been contemplating taking her to an optometrist for an eye exam.

But first I consulted with my friend Google and found some interesting info about our doodle's vision.

 The doodle color spectrum vs the human color spectrum:

As you can see, there is NO red in the Doodle world. This was a relief an interesting bit of info in regard to Tara's flailing about determined pathetic attempt to find her red ball. I say MYSTERY SOLVED!!! My Doodle girl  IS ready for Search and Rescue as long as there is nothing RED involved!!!

2. The Excuse

I also discovered THIS info:

"Visual Acuity

This is an area that humans hold an advantage. Resolution or Visual Acuity is the ability to resolve shapes over a distance. For instance it is not uncommon for a human to have 20/ 20 vision. This means at 20 feet they can see what a person with ‘good’ sight can see at 20 feet. However a dog typically has approximately 20/ 75 vision (range 20/50 to 20/100). This means that a human at 75 feet can see the same shape differentiation that a dog has at 20 feet from an object.

You may like to remember this the next time your dog is a long way off (with its head much closer to the ground) and you call them and expect them to see you. At long distances dogs rely much more on their higher audio detection capabilities and movement detection to see humans."

I thought I was having problems with Tara and her long distance recall but now I understand that she just can't seem me! (wink wink). Training problem SOLVED!!

3. We are Yellow

This is the really scary part!!! You have to see me wearing yellow to truly understand!!

How humans see:

How Doodles see:

Are we really yellow to our doodles???? OMD!!!

So there you have it! A mystery solved, a great excuse and sorry people but we are yellow!!

Maybe...But I thought that even more than ears, which I know are much better than mine, our doodles can probably smell us a mile off. So whatever color we are we stink have a far reaching bouquet for our doodles.

His name is Kailash Singh, and he from india, He is a 65 year old farm worker who hasn’t had a bath or a shower in 37 years. He also hasn’t cut his six foot long dreadlocks for 37 years.

So I guess it depends on which way the wind is blowing...

But does Kailash have a doodle? That is the really important thing!  Along with staying up wind from him.

[F, Calla & Luca]

No doodle, 3 daughters. He doesn't bathe because he thinks not doing so might help him have a son. This sounds a bit counterproductive to me : )

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

Boy does it ever!

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

ROFL. That's what I love about men...NOT.

[F, Calla & Luca]

Maybe I should have said counterreproductive : )

[Jennifer,Chloe & Myla]

EWWWWW!

[Jennifer and Jack]

Now I won't feel so bad when I go a week without a shower!!!!!

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

Jennifer, I'm feeling pretty good about myself right now too!

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

F, did you just happen to have a photo of Kailash hanging around....or did you search on "smelly guys"?  I'm hoping that this was not the result of a google search or you'll be getting some pretty interesting ads.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

ROFL to this, too!

[F, Calla & Luca]

Uooh, google search. I used "picture smelly person". I haven't gotten the deodorant ads yet.
