Have you see the February 2012 issue of the National Geographic Magazine? This month's cover story is entitled "How to Build a Dog." So what kind of dog do you think they selected for the cover? A weimaraner, of course! Below is a video clip of how artist William Wegman captured the image for the cover.

It's that time of year again... today is Groundhog Day! There was a big crowd gathered at Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, PA this morning, waiting to see what a little furry rodent, I mean Punxsutawney Phil, Seer of Seers, Sage of Sages, Prognosticator of Prognosticators and Weather Prophet Extraordinaire would predict... Well, the little fellow saw his shadow, predicting six more weeks of winter ahead.
It seems that a lot of cities have started their own groundhog weather predicting traditions. A groundhog was even spotted in Washington, DC this morning. "Potomac Phil" was introduced in Dupont Circle - even though he's a stuffed groundhog, [I'm not sure how a stuffed groundhog can make a prediction] he also saw his shadow, predicting six more weeks of winter AND nine more months of gridlock traffic on Capital Hill. (Hmmm, I think I could have predicted the gridlock traffic part.)
