The Amazing Stuff

One of our dog’s many jobs is to protect his or her house from intruders and unwanted guests. Each pup makes their own judgement calls on the characters that enter their homes, and sometimes their apprehension is completely warranted. Other times, however, it’s a little harder to see why they’re so upset about something…

Like this pup and his treat, for instance.

Personally, I don’t see what’s so gosh darn threatening about it, but maybe I’m missing something. Either that, or this dog is just adorably weird. (I’m going to go with the latter.)

Dogs can be trained to do just about anything these days. From fetching the newspaper, grabbing a beer from the fridge for us, or flushing the toilet, they’re pretty great. It’s important, though, that you give the dog a word to anchor that task to (fetch, down, etc.), and once it hears that word, it knows exactly what to do.

There’s always an exception to the rule, though, and this dog is it. She appears to have only learned one word, and it’s absolutely hilarious seeing her react to it.

I feel like she only cared to learn “walk.”

She absolutely loves taking walks. Good for her…at least she enjoys exercise. I know some dogs who you have to drag outside in order to get them to go for a walk.

When this family got home, they called for Zeus, their six-month-old rottweiler, to come out and play. But when he didn’t run to them, they went looking for him in all the usual places. From the bedroom, to his bed, he was nowhere to be found.

They never expected to find him in this adorable — and absolutely hilarious — spot…

I think this is one lesson Zeus is going to take to heart: never stick your head through a hole you don’t know how to get out of.

When one woman’s reading glasses went missing, it seemed like the Sunday crossword would never get finished. That was it! But when her dog came trotting into the kitchen, she figured out exactly where her glasses had gone…

Clearly, he wanted a more dignified look!

Okay, smartypants…what’s next?

If you’re gonna look the part, you’d better learn to play it, too! What are you reading lately, pup? A little Nabokov, perhaps? Or are you more of a Hemingway kinda guy?

For some people, watching sports is the focal point of their lives. Sunday rolls around, and it’s all about the game. THE game. Every game is THE game.

Well, for this pup, there is nothing on the planet he’d rather do less than waste his Sunday — or any day, for that matter — watching overly-bulked humans run straight into each other, all because of some weird ball that no one lets him fetch.

Frankly, I’m with him on this!

And it’s not just football…boxing isn’t much better.

Even basketball players get bored during their own games!

If you like sports…more power to you! You’re just part of a corner of society that neither me nor this adorable pooch understands.

Many people are born without green thumbs — that’s just a fact. Then there are others who just cannot stop gardening, even when there’s no room left in the garden, or the house, for that matter.

Then there’s this pup, who is really into gardening, but maybe for different reasons than the typical landscaper…

For some reason, I’m suddenly and inexplicably thirsty…
