And getting back to Richard's Bunny Trails thread, I just came across on topic that got some buzz on Pinterest - a 14th century print apparently showing rabbits on cell phones. K2, I think they're onto you.

Say what ?! Rabbits on cell phones? Those rabbits probably had plague fleas back in ancient times! I'm sure that rabbit was ear-scratching vs on a mobile!
And, we'll all be watching for bg to cross the finish line in yet another Boston adventure! One year she sent a photo just prior to her start - and now that she has a smart phone, she might be able to do that again. If not, well we will use an old photo on Monday to cheer her on! Goooooooooo Barbara!

Another episode....
So this bunny trail is about dogs, and dogs who chase rabbits in their sleep. Those of us who are dog owners have seen it happen many times...your K9 is stretched out sound asleep, and suddenly starts moving his or her feet ... just like they were run run running. One of my dogs, Kihei (who is all golden retriever), will frequently give a beagle bugle arrooooooo during these episodes. Hear that at oh dark thirty, and you are WIDE awake. I wonder where she learned the beagle bugle? Arden Moore, a writer on VetStreet, says: "Just like us, dogs dream. They go through three sleep stages: NREM, non-rapid eye movement; REM, rapid eye movement; and SWS, short-wave sleep. It is in the SWS stage that a dog breathes heavily while he is sleeping. Animal experts theorize that dogs dream during the REM stage and act on their dreams by twitching or moving all four paws as if they were chasing a rabbit. " Short wave sleep....sounds like K9s tuning into the galactic network....Wiki says that short wave sleep is considered important as a time when new memories are consolidated, and that a primary function of this sleep period is to allow the brain to recover from its daily activities. And Moore says that for reasons unknown just yet, young puppies and senior dogs tend to move more in their sleep/dreams than other age groups.
