Maryland State Dog – Chesapeake Bay Retriever – In 1964, the Chesapeake Bay Retriever, named after the famous Bay region of the breed’s origin, was declared the official dog of Maryland (Chapter 156, Acts of 1964; Code General Provisions Article, sec.7-304). A working dog bred to recover waterfowl for hunters, the Chesapeake Bay Retriever is one of only a few breeds actually developed in the United States.

Nonetheless, the history of this dog is unclear. Legend tells of an English vessel shipwrecked off the coast of Maryland in the early nineteenth century. Among the survivors were two young dogs of a Newfoundland breed. Supposedly bred to local coonhounds, they evolved into the present-day Chesapeake Bay Retriever.

Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Annapolis, Maryland, March 2001. Photo by Elizabeth W. Newell. The American Kennel Club (AKC) registered its first Chesapeake Bay Retriever in 1878. By then, a definite type had evolved with characteristics suited to the often rigorous duckhunting conditions around Chesapeake Bay, Dogs of the breed are intelligent with powerful bodies of moderate size and strong jaws.

Retrievers are characterized by their versatility, strength, endurance, and loyal devotion. These dogs excel in field and obedience trials. As service dogs, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers are found working with drug enforcement agencies, and visiting hospitals and nursing homes.

	Maryland’s State Tree is the White Oak. It was symbolized by the Wye Oak that stood at Wye Mills on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. It was more than 100 feet high, had a branch spread of 165 feet and a circumference of 31 feet, 10 inches. It was one of the largest in the world. On June 7, 2002, it was felled by powerful thunderstorms that also downed power lines throughout the area.

	In 1984 the shell of the Ecphora gardnerae gardnerae, an extinct snail, was named the State fossil shell. The Ecphora inhabited the Chesapeake Bay 5 to 12 million years ago. An Ecphora shell found in St. Mary’s County about 1685 was one of the first North American fossils illustrated in European scientific works.

It was one of the earliest dinosaur finds in the United States and the first sauropod described in North America.
	The rockfish (Morone saxatilis) was named the official fish of the State of Maryland in 1965. Originally called Roccus saxatilis, scientists corrected the genus designation in the late 1960s. The rockfish is considered to be the most valuable fish in Maryland waters.
	On October 1, 2003, the Thoroughbred Horse became the State Horse of Maryland. The average Thoroughbred stands 16 hands (64″) high at the withers, and weighs 1,000 pounds. Its coat colors may be bay, dark bay, chestnut, black, gray, or occasionally roan.
	In 1962, a law was enacted making jousting our State sport. Jousters compete by trying to catch a hanging ring on a lance while riding a horse.
	In 2004, Lacrosse was officially named the Team Sport of Maryland. Lacrosse is the oldest sport in North America dating back to the 17th century. Indians played lacrosse to heal the sick and to prepare for war. Picture courtesy of 2002 U.S. Naval Academy woman’s lacrosse team

What is Popeye the dog?

Meet the former stray dog who is now an Instagram foodie Published: 18:47 GMT, 20 March 2019 | Updated: 19:11 GMT, 20 March 2019

• When a Los Angeles woman found a dirty stray dog wandering the streets of LA, she couldn’t have imagined that he was destined for stardom — or what’s more, that he’d find that fame for being a ‘foodie’.
• But now Popeye the Foodie Dog has 357,000 Instagram followers who track his trips to local restaurants, where he poses calmly with mouth-watering feasts laid out in front of him.
• His owner, Ivy Diep, has even launched a line of merchandise baring the pup’s face as he appears to bite into a doughnut.

Being an influencer is ruff! Popeye the Foodie has his own food-centric Instagram account Looks delicious! He poses with lots of tasty food all over Los Angeles The good life: His owner, Ivy Diep, adopted him as a dirty stray and gave him a loving home Good doggie! Ivy noticed how good Popeye was around food, saying that he didn’t lunge for what was on people’s plates ‘I found him as a stray,’ Ivy told,

• ‘He was such a mess — super skinny, heavily matted, dirty.’ ‘It wasn’t long before he made himself at home at my place with my other dogs.
• And of course, my husband and I fell in love,’ But Popeye and food weren’t always a natural pair.
• ‘When we first had him, he was timid around food and snacks,’ she told,

‘He also didn’t really play with toys; he only played with our sweater sleeves. He’s now more comfortable with snacks and is more playful with toys.’ Still, they didn’t initially plan to take him all over the Los Angeles restaurant scene. ‘ Jen and I liked to go on what we call “Instagram dates” and take pics of our food,’ she told BoredPanda.

Joining the gang! She soon started bringing him out on food dates with one of her friends A popular pup! He now has hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram Dapper doggie: Ivy also dresses him up in adorable doggie outfits for their outings ‘I think food and dogs are already pretty popular on Instagram, so I think the combo of food and dog is a bit special,’ she said ‘I’d bring Popeye any time I can, and we realized he was really good around food.

He doesn’t lunge for food or really even care for it. He just liked to be out.’

1. Soon, she started taking pictures of Popeye sitting at the table with them, posing with slices of cake with coffee, huge orders of burgers, bowls of soup, and boxes of macarons.
2. She’d dress him up, too, in tiny doggie sweaters, collared shirts, hats, scarves, and even glasses.
3. The pictures of a cute dog posing with tasty food quickly earned him fans in the hundreds of thousands.

‘I think food and dogs are already pretty popular on Instagram, so I think the combo of food and dog is a bit special,’ she told Chewy. ‘Also, I try to keep his posts a bit more interesting by including different clothing or accessories.’ Smart: Popeye doesn’t actually eat most of the food that he is pictured with Healthy: Ivy will give him nibbles, but only of items that are safe for him to eat Sunny days: Ivy said she seeks out pet-friendly restaurants, and photos show the dog frequently sitting at tables outside.

• She’s even launched an online where she sells branded hats, shirts, and bags with the dog’s image.
• Speaking to, Ivy said she seeks out pet-friendly restaurants, and photos show the dog frequently sitting at tables outside.
• ‘Because the weather is pretty mild, many restaurants have outdoor patio seating, which mostly allows dogs,’ she said.

But though he pulls up a chair with his humans, he’s not eating everything at the table. Ivy said he just gets nibbles of the foods that are safe for him to eat, with his favorite being chicken nuggets — especially from McDonald’s. So while he does get to taste some of the more dog-friendly dishes, he’s not exactly eating all of the pizza, french fries, and doughnuts that he poses with.

1. Nom nom: Cuteness meets food in another Instagram account, Food Baby.
2. Mike Chau has been taking pictures of his children (pictured: daughter Nicole) with food for years The first! When the account started, his son Matty was the star, and followers have watched the boy grow up (pictured left as a baby and right recently) Now his account features all three kids, including middle child Sammy — who has also grown up on camera (pictured left as a baby and right recently) Interestingly, that happens to be the case for most human food bloggers, too, who don’t actually eat all the food that they post on social media.

Another popular account that also has a cute mascot of sorts is Food Baby. Mike Chau has over 312,000 Instagram followers who come for his tasty New York City restaurant intel — but also the cute pictures of his kids.

1. When Chau first started the @foodbabyny Instagram account, it was just him, his wife, and their son Matty going to restaurants all over town.
2. Chau told in 2017 that rather than flood his followers with cute baby pictures and photos of his food, he combined them.
3. Matty has grown up before his fans’ eyes, and there have since been two more food babies added to the family: daughters Sammy and Nicole.

Dog soup: Rover.com, a website for dog owners, publishes several recipes especially for canines Doggie approved: Kiki Kane, a ‘canine chef,’ shared a recipe for bone broth and tested it on her own approving pup

• Popeye, though, seems to be the top trendsetter in the canine foodie market.
• But while many of the treats he poses with are off-limits — like anything with chocolate — there are actually some fancy, gourmet dishes that would be right up the pup’s alley.
• , a website for dog owners, has embraced the bone broth craze and published a bone broth recipe formulated specifically for dogs.
• Kiki Kane, a ‘canine chef,’ shared the recipe for ‘InstantPot Beef and Pork Bone Broth for Dogs’ on the site this month.

‘You’ve heard all the raves about how bone broth is chock full of collagen, gelatin, protein, and minerals,’ the intro reads, ‘but you’re not sure where to start? We’ve got you covered with a healthy, goof-proof version of bone broth designed just for your dog.’ The recipe calls for beef marrow bones, raw pig’s feet, olive oil, celery, carrots, parsley, and apple cider vinegar.

Spoiled: The site has actually published numerous recipes for dogs that span well beyond dog treats Comprehensive: There’s one for homemade turkey meatballs (for dogs), cheesecake (for dogs), and carob cupcakes with peanut butter frosting (for dogs, pictured above) Fancy: They even have a recipe for a birthday cake inspired by the trendy ones sold at Christina Tosi’s Milk Bar bakeries The meat and veggies are roasted for an hour before the other ingredients are added, and the whole thing cooks in an Instant Pot pressure cooker for four hours.

‘The marrow bones provide iron, protein, healthy fats, and minerals from the bone itself, while the pig’s feet are jam-packed with healthy gelatin and collagen from the cartilage that breaks down over the long cooking time,’ says the chef. ‘We added carrots, celery, and parsley for flavor.’ Kiki went on to say that yes, human can eat this too.

1. The site has actually published numerous recipes for dogs that span well beyond dog treats.
2. There’s one for homemade turkey meatballs (for dogs), cheesecake (for dogs), blueberry oat scones (for dogs), pumpkin spice cookies (for dogs), watermelon mint sherbet (for dogs), and carob cupcakes with peanut butter frosting (for dogs).
3. They even show users in one video how to make a birthday cake inspired by the trendy ones sold at Christina Tosi’s Milk Bar bakeries.

What is the state dog of North Carolina?

State Dog of North Carolina: Plott Hound This article is from, published for the Tar Heel Junior Historian Association by the North Carolina Museum of History. Used by permission of the publisher. For personal use and not for further distribution. Please submit permission requests for other uses directly to the. The Plott Hound was officially adopted as the State Dog on August 12, 1989. (). See also: Related activity: Back in the mid- to late 1800s, people from as far away as Georgia traveled regularly to to get puppies from the Plott family. They would arrive with sacks on the backs of their mules or horses to carry home the prized dogs.

• The Plotts raised hardworking, tenacious, and loyal dogs that would hunt bear and wild boar with boundless courage.
• The dogs—once black, brown, or brindle—are now usually brindle (which is a mix of black, browns, and tans).
• They stand twenty to twenty-five inches at the shoulder, weigh about forty-five to fifty-five pounds, and are strong and fast.

The Plott hound, as this kind of dog is known today, has a unique high-pitched bark that alerts hunters as it tracks and corners prey. What’s the rest of the story behind North Carolina’s state dog? The Plott hound is the only officially recognized breed of dog developed in North Carolina.

(It is one of only four dog breeds native to the United States.) The foundation stock (or ancestors) for the dogs that became Plott hounds came to America with Johannes Plott in 1750. These five dogs had been a gift from Plott’s father, Elias, a gamekeeper near Heidelberg, Germany. Elias Plott bred canines to be multipurpose workers—they needed to be exceptional big-game hunters, as well as farm and herding dogs.

He probably started with the Hanoverian hound in developing his dogs. In the North Carolina Mountains, the Plott family further refined the breed into the tracking and hunting Plott hound that we know today. Little is known of the first nine years of Johannes Plott’s life in America.

After his ship’s record of his travel, he does not appear in public records again until 1759, when he bought land in Bute (now ) County. He had changed his name to the Anglicized, or translated to English, name of George Plott. Within a year, Plott moved to, where he lived until moving to in 1784, raising a family and breeding dogs.

His dogs likely had much work to do in the forests and small farms of the Tar Heel backcountry. George Plott’s son Henry kept improving the Plott hound. He moved to Buncombe (now ) County about 1800. Within a few years the area was known as Plott Valley; the mountain, Plott Balsam; and the waterway, Plott Creek.

The region is still home to many Plott descendants. Here the family’s dogs learned to hunt bear in the wilderness, much as their ancestors had hunted in Germany’s Black Forest. The Plott family did not keep written records about its dogs, but it was skilled in raising them. By the time Montraville Plott was born in 1850, Plott hounds were well established and highly prized in western North Carolina.

He continued to improve the breed’s temperament and performance. Word spread about their superior working and hunting talents, courage, and tenacity. Montraville Plott was dedicated to his dogs, passing along that devotion to his children and many friends.

1. Two of his sons, John A.
2. Plott and Henry Vaughn “Von” Plott, along with a few other hunters, captured the interest of hunters nationwide in the 1930s and 1940s with the dogs.
3. In 1998 the American Kennel Club (AKC) recognized the as a distinctive breed.
4. The Plott has been North Carolina’s state dog since 1989, but having been bred for hunting and tracking, it is not often seen walking on a leash around a suburban neighborhood.

People who love Plott hounds describe the dogs as gentle with people and loyal to their owners. But if you were walking a Plott hound on a trail, and the dog caught the scent of a wild animal, it likely would want to take off on a hunt. Bold and energetic, Plotts want to work, no doubt about it.

What is the national dog of Mexico?

Xōlōitzcuintli: The (Sometimes) Hairless Breed – The Xōlōitzcuintli, or “Xolo,” is also known as the Mexican hairless dog and is considered one of the oldest dog breeds. Archaeological evidence found in tombs dates the breed to more than 3,500 years ago. The Xolo is the national dog of Mexico. It was revered as a sacred dog by the Aztecs, Toltecs and Maya and was believed to be capable to ward off evil spirits, often buried with their families to travel with them to the underworld. Although highly valued as hunting companions and guardians, the Xolo was also sacrificed and consumed during ceremonies—it was believed the breed had healing qualities when consumed.

1. Christopher Columbus made note of the “strange, hairless” dogs in his journals, after which the Xolo was taken back to Europe.
2. Although one of the first to register with the AKC in 1887, the breed remains relatively unknown in the U.S.
3. And is sometimes mistaken for the mythical Chupacabra.
4. The Xolo can range in size from 10 to 50 pounds, has large bat-like ears and a long neck.

The hairless trait is a result of a mutation; the recessive trait produces both a short-haired and hairless variety. Both have a variety of skin and hair colors, some with spots or marks. They are known to be highly intelligent with an abundance of energy that reduces with age, and strong hunting instincts.

Although details are unknown, Jack has been legally prohibited from living in Maryland state from the past mistake, “It is legally prohibited to live in Maryland state why it is a dog though why It is supposed to attract a lot of people’s attention.

Unfortunately, as Jack did some mischief at a young age, Jack can not legally live in Maryland. Below is Jack’s recruitment page. Jack is introduced as “a very loving dog”, but he seems to continue recruiting foster parents for over a year. In addition, for those who formally become foster parents, details of what Jack did in the past will be revealed.

Jack | DVSHR @historiancole who did the original tweet tweets about why Jack can not live in Maryland “I tried to go with” husky Maryland dog crime “but I do not know.” I just googled “husky Maryland dog crime” but I do not think that gonna help me figure it out – historian cole (@ historiancole) November 28, 2017 This mysterious foster recruitment page is attracting a lot of people’s interest, and Jack has gained a lot of attention as to what he sold out in the past.

• One Twitter user said, “To Maryland’s dangerous dog law As if you saw it, Jack killed one or more cats or seriously injured, “Tweet said.
• Certainly, Jack’s foster recruitment page states that “Jack can make friends with other dogs, but does not work with cats.” Looking at dangerous dog law for Maryland and his write up I’m guessing he killed or seriously injured one or more cats https://t.co/TCRNkoHRJ4 – Comrade Shepherd (@ NeolithicSheep) November 29, 2017 Also, “I have a dog with similar problems, my dog ​​has killed a cat in Florida, but in order to keep living in Florida we have to pay money every month.

Also, some people say you must attach a tag so that you can understand that it is a “bad dog”. i had a dog with a similar problem because he killed a cat in florida so in order for him to continue living in florida we had to pay monthly fees and he had to wear tags saying he was a bad dog and that he ‘d bite if you came near what is not was close to how he was lol – em (@ emquast) November 28, 2017 Furthermore, “Jack was involved in pet shop robbery, and in 2 years I worked at 24 pet shops and Jack stole the 1000 bones or dog food literally, but now it is treated as parole That is why I was not allowed to live in Maryland, “he said, and tweets that were written in detail about the details of the incident or so,

He was involved in a 2 years on the lam he robbed 24 petsmarts and petcos. He literally stole 1000s on bones and doggy snacks part of his parole is that he isnt permitted to be a resident of Maryland – JR McCarty (@ JRMcCarty 51207) November 28, 2017 People who tweet parking ticket and tweet “unpaid barking tickets” (forgot to pay a turmish ticket).

unpaid barking tickets – mariah carey ✨ (@ trueassfacts) November 28, 2017 “Perhaps it has broken some rules,” those who tweet pictures of mysterious signs that prohibit dogs smoking, drunking, skateboarding, etc. have evolved into a state of little value.

1. Obviously broke some rules.
2. Pic.twitter.com/FTSrzY5rYz – James Hardi (@ james_hardi) November 29, 2017 Some users tweet “Do you understand the answer of this mystery? I really want to know the truth”,
3. Did you find the answer to this question yet since I MUST KNOW.
4. At Jawn Tree (@ meowzakii) November 28, 2017 @historiancole says, “I understood that there is a rule that Maryland once punishes once it hits it, that only guaranteeing such dog breeding is not done,”, It seems that details remain unknown.

All I found was that Maryland used to have a one bite rule & amp; they also will not insure certain breeds: / – historian cole (@ historiancole) November 28, 2017 In addition, it seems that Mashable of overseas media sent an e-mail asking details to DVSHR, but there is no reply at the time of article creation.

What is Maryland’s catchphrase?

Maryland is the only state with a motto in Italian. “Fatti Maschii Parole Femine,” loosely translated to “strong deeds, gentle words,” was the motto of the Calvert family who first founded the colony of Maryland. “> ” width=”175″ height=”375″> Maryland was the seventh state admitted to the United States on April 28, 1788. According the U.S. Census Bureau, it has the highest median household income of any state. A major center for life sciences and research, Maryland is the third-largest in this field in the country.

• One of its many nicknames, “America in Miniature,” is attributed to its varied topography – from sandy dunes to the east, to low marshlands near the bay, to forest in the Piedmont Region and pine groves in the mountains to the west.
• Maryland’s history as a border state has led it to exhibit characteristics of both the Northern and Southern regions of the U.S.

Generally, rural Western Maryland between the West Virginia Panhandle and Pennsylvania has an Appalachian culture and the Southern and Eastern Shore regions embody a Southern culture, while densely-populated Central Maryland has more in common with the culture of the Northeast.

• The digital collections of the Library of Congress contain a wide variety of material associated with Maryland, including manuscripts, broadsides, government documents, books, and maps.
• A handy guide compiles links to these materials throughout the Library’s website.
• The Library’s American Folklife Center has varied materials on the Chesapeake Bay State – a selection of which has been pulled together for further investigation.

All 50 states are represented in the center’s collections and featured in the Folklife in Your State presentation.

What was Marilyn Monroe’s dog?

The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog, and of his Friend Marilyn Monroe by Andrew O’Hagan | Book review I f there are two things I feel strongly about, they are books about, and books purporting to be written by dogs. Faced with a title as arch as The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog, and of his Friend Marilyn Monroe, the staunchest critical objectivity might fail.

In fact, Andrew O’Hagan’s title is somewhat misleading: although certainly chock-full of the life and opinions of Maf the dog, his novel provides those of Marilyn Monroe only in sporadic and impressionistic glimpses – what you might call a “dog’s-eye view”. The book’s opening pages do little to assuage doubts about affectation.

It begins, in all places, at Charleston Farmhouse in Sussex, where a puppy waxes lyrical about life with Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, from whom he absorbs aesthetic philosophy, literary history and good taste. He is sent to America to live with Natalie Wood’s vulgar mother, who gives him to Frank Sinatra, who gives him to Marilyn Monroe at the end of 1960 – at which point, the story begins to resemble something like fact, if such a claim can be made for a book in which dogs quote everyone from Plutarch to Proust, cats speak only in verse, butterflies converse “in the manner of Nabokov” (“We will find an arbour in flame-flower”), and rats talk Brooklynese like hoodlums from 1930s Hollywood films: “‘Summa us got woik to do.'” Sinatra did indeed give Marilyn a Maltese terrier near the end of her life, a dog she rather wickedly named Mafia, or Maf for short (some claim the dog’s full name was Mafia Honey).

1. Such is the value of association with Marilyn that two Polaroids of Maf sold for more than $220,000 in Christie’s 1999 auction of her effects.
2. In the winter of 1960, Marilyn was living in New York: her marriage to Arthur Miller had failed, and she would divorce him on the day of JFK’s inauguration, in January, 1961.

Eighteen months later, in August 1962, she was dead of a barbiturate overdose, at the age of 36. In between, depending on whom you read, she had an affair with President Kennedy – and with his brother Bobby; or with Sinatra; or the gangster Sam Giancana; or even, depending on your susceptibility to gossip, with all of the above.

• She underwent psychoanalysis, and was traumatised by an enforced hospitalisation at New York’s Payne Whitney clinic in early 1961; she left New York and bought a modest hacienda in LA, which she travelled to Mexico to furnish.
• She attended parties at Peter Lawford’s beach house and began work on her final film, Something’s Got to Give, from which she was fired two months before she died.

The novel is punctuated by these events, with two extremely tactful omissions: it resists almost all speculation about her sex life, going so far as to suggest her relationship with President Kennedy remained platonic (a dubious claim); and it ends with her performance at Kennedy’s gala birthday celebration, three months before she died, thus rising above the standard wallowing in sordid, maudlin, or punitive endings to her tale.

But while these episodes provide the novel’s landmarks, they do not constitute its real terrain. Instead, it offers a whimsical, sometimes strained, occasionally charming, series of riffs on its chosen themes: not only Marilyn, fame, loneliness and death; but also literature, including the literary pedigree of stories about dogs; cultural pretension, in the form of literary New York and Freudian psychoanalysis; politics and democracy; and even America itself.

There is no question that O’Hagan can write, and the book is peppered with sharp summations of famous people: not just Marilyn (“Marilyn was late for everything: it was her creed, her prerogative, her style, and her revenge”) but also Sinatra (a man with a “tough little mind” who “lived in something close to a perpetual nervous breakdown”); Lee Strasberg (“Mr Strasberg had never been so happy to be himself”); and Lionel Trilling (“there was something sinister in Trilling’s grand composure”).

• He gives Diana Trilling a delicious Parthian shot: at the end of a snide Partisan Review party in New York, during which Maf bites Edmund Wilson and Lillian Hellman, Mrs Trilling tells Marilyn: “Your little dog has exquisite critical taste.
• We must find a place for him on the faculty.” Other passages are more awkward, including O’Hagan’s decision to shoehorn some of Marilyn’s most famous quotations into the narrative, so that she bizarrely informs her agent, “I’m always running into people’s unconscious”.

Likewise, Maf changes the target of Monroe’s famous ad lib in All About Eve from casting-couch producers to literary critics: “Why do critics always look like unhappy rabbits?” O’Hagan does Marilyn the justice of making her kind, humorous and sharp-witted – which, by all but most the mean-spirited accounts, she was.

1. She also called a spade a spade: when a young writer preaches communism, she replies: “That’s the way Arthur talks in his plays.
2. But I don’t know about real life.
3. He always seemed pretty interested in money to me.” Refreshingly, O’Hagan doesn’t present Marilyn as a cautionary tale or an object of pity.

He understands that she spent her life trying to earn respect, and clearly intends this book as a tribute. But if there was one thing Marilyn recognised, it was a dubious compliment. Arthur Miller once offered Marilyn a “valentine” in the shape of a story about her called “The Misfits”.
