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....
“Enough,” Said the Dog
This stay at home quarantine thing gives an interesting perspective. Everyone's seen the cute YouTube of the little schnauzer talking about toilet paper… and the cat who swears she doesn’t play with it. But how about a little reality check from an older dog? Meet...
