#dog secrets

So, I was playing with Ollie. We were using Thanos. It’s a purple sock filled with stuffing and a dead squeaker from a $7 toy he killed a while ago. It’s called Thanos because...well...it reminds me of what I would imagine Thanos’ dick would look like. Flaccid, at least...

Anyway, we were playing and I was trying yet again to get Ollie to release his toy. I tried ‘drop it’. Nothing. ‘Release’. Nothing. ‘Let go’. Nothing. Then finally, ‘out’... 

And he IMMEDIATELY released the toy. 

Just...what? Excuse me? Are you telling me Ollie’s known how to release his toys the whole time? 

Part of me feels guilty. We played fetch-and-tug for a solid half hour and he LOVED it. My poor boy was giving me clues the whole time, too. 

My friend Dexter in a recent post asked about funny stories but you get so little space to respond...

If you've looked at a few of my pictures you'll probably know I'm kind of a goof/bear/dog hybrid! I'm also a bit clumsy every now and again, however... My secret skill is that I know how to play off my clumsiness as cool as the cucumbers I so enjoy! Oh yeah... ;-)

Occasionally when crawling over legs or taller obstacles I will misjudge how high a paw needs to be in order to clear said object. I then end up gracefully faceplanting either a rug, couch, or a person. When this happens though, it's important to keep my cool-- in fact, I meant to do that! I'm just showing you guys the new trick I learned. Really! I'll usually lay in my faceplant position, paws under my front, neck outstretched for a couple of seconds before continuing on my journey. Pets are encouraged during that time. I like pets :-D
