The Power of Pretzels
Gunny here. I’ve been watching you humans. I’ve been listening. Because really it’s all I have. I’ve seen you humans snack. Some of you like pretzels. Some of those pretzels are really hard and crunchy. I’ve seen the little ones they’re about the size of my dewclaw....
Tough Toenails
Gunny here. I don’t know what it is about my feet, but ever since I was a pup, if someone touched my foot, I would pull it back really fast. I can’t help myself! It’s like an unconscious thing. My mom says it’s something called a reflex. Whatever it is, withdrawal...
Winter Philosophy by Fred The Flea
Hey everybody! It’s Fred the flea. I love this time of year. Humans are so confused that it really makes my job of surviving the winter much easier! Because let’s talk about winter. Up north, it’s starting to get nasty outside. In the words of Dean Martin: Baby, it’s...
Gunny Listens
Gunny here. I’ve been listening. I walk with the other dog friends in our herd, and our mom, almost daily. I’ve noticed some changes over the last several months. Ever since people started staying home and wearing muzzles on their faces. Before the muzzles, when we’d...
Gunny Has a Bellyache
Whoa! Gunny here. Woke up this morning with quite a tummy ache. The noises my belly was making were enough to wake up my human family! They let me outside. I immediately started eating grass. Then brought me back inside. Boy. I just couldn’t get a handle on that...
How Dogs Are Like Cars
Have you watched the movie “The Art of Racing in the Rain“? Since I can’t read words, the best I can do is watch movies with my family. I love that movie! Enzo is my hero – there’s a dog who understands how things work. I, like Enzo, really only have gestures, so I do...
The Perfect Poop
That's right - Gunny here. I'd like to talk about poop, after all, you humans have a thing about looking at our poop. I have to admit, I appreciate that you have opposable thumbs and you can clean it up. Even I don’t like stepping in some other dog's poop. But I’m not...
Gunny Talks Fleas
Being a dog, and being one who has had his day running the streets, it should come as no surprise to you that I’ve dealt with my share of fleas. I get it, I get it! I understand why you humans don’t want us dogs to have fleas. Trust me when I say we dogs really would...
Gunny Drinks Water
Gunny here. Being a lab/shepherd mixed with a few other things I have to admit I like water. Not just to drink, but to swim in, dig in, play in and generally wear. I’ve had my share of water events. There was the time I ate the homemade kids “play dough” off the...
Gunny Learns About Heartworms
Gunny here. This is not my favorite place - the vet. At least this lady didn’t make me sit on some cold metal table up in the air- she sits on the floor with me, talks to my mom, rubs my belly and massages my neck. Now, I’m just a dog. I don’t understand a lot of what...
