Newie asks: What movies are okay for kids to watch?
Dogs don’t have great eyesight, but we do have fantastic senses of smell. So the idea of looking at a movie screen or a television set, that has no smell to it, is BORING to me! Way more fun to sit on the front step listening and sniffing out the world around me.

Pucci asks: Is lying ever okay?
Dogs don’t know how to lie. It’s not part of our brains. You’ll hear pet-owners say “My dog is lying. I fed him an hour ago and he’s whining by his bowl as though he hasn’t been fed yet.” They’re wrong; the dog’s Continue reading
I think the best thing about me is how good I smell. I smell fantastic. Particularly in places you don’t even know about. The only time I don’t like the way I smell is when Handsome shoves me in the bathtub and Continue reading
