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...
Let’s Talk Food
Gunny here. Many of you are aware I am an older guy. In fact, I came to my forever home after several years and several temporary stops. These temporary stops were ok but now I hit the jackpot. What do I mean? The people weren’t bad. But they didn’t understand how to...
Walking – Some Clues for Two-Leggeds
Gunny here. It was a beautiful weekend. I live a great house where I can look out the window and watch the traffic go by: foot traffic, car traffic - it’s all interesting and keeps my older mind occupied. I noticed something new this weekend that had me a bit sad....
Stereotypes
Gunny here. I’ve been watching people as I am wont to do these days. There’s not much else to do. Although sometimes I do get to go to the dog park. I’ve noticed some stereotypes. Of course, I’ve been watching dogs too as they are my “people.” And there are certain...
A Leash is All We Need
Gunny here. Maybe you are wondering why all of a sudden I’m speaking up. After all, I’m an older dog and I haven’t really had much to say all of my life. I’ve been pretty happy with things on this planet. But lately, human behavior has really started to concern me....
