What The Fluff?!

We shouldn't have to say this, but WE ARE NOT TRAINED PROFESSIONALS. We are just dog moms doing our very best to provide for our furry kids. That said, we do know how to use a search engine and read articles! Megan welcomed 2 littermates into her pack, so we decided to do some research and find out if you can prevent littermate syndrome and is it even real?

One of the most unpredictable and anxiety inducing interaction your dog can have is when they meet another dog. Whether that dog is your dog, a friend's, or a strange dog coming up to you, you never can quite predict how it will go. Megan and Melanie discuss strategies, personal experiences, and when you just hope to get lucky. We also expose the truth about Toni. We are sorry we kept it a secret for so long. Forgive us.

We can all blame Amazon for this one. Let's celebrate toxic relationships, actively avoid healthy ones, and call senior citizens slutty. Not convinced yet? What about the fact that I had to edit out almost an hour long sigh from Melanie?

The number 13 is associated with being either unlucky or lucky, so we though this would be the perfect episode to share some interesting dog stories who came out on top or it just wasn't their day. TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses dogs being injured and 9/11 (thanks Melanie). We do not go into graphic details, but we do mention some sensitive topics.

1992 hits us HARD in this episode with "Are You Afraid of the Dark" Season 1, Episode 5: The Tale of the Hungry Hounds. Despite having 7 dogs on screen, this one is light on the pup talk. We do, however, delve in to 80's mall singers, cow-print vests, and the idea of ghost trauma. So, put on your nostalgia hats and join us for our last spooky themed episode.

Sorry for the immediate spoiler, but hey, even the director released a short before the theatrical release telling everyone the dog lives. Mega horror fan Melanie may have pushed her agenda to get this on the docket, but both Megan and Kirsten were great sports as all three discussed the plot and recapped the entire film. Indy is the most adorable star and he didn't even know he was in a movie. Not a horror fan? That's ok, we break down the film so it's not too scary (or too sad).

Revisiting Goosebumps as an adult is an interesting experience. In this episode, we discuss the similarities and differences between the book and the TV show for "The Barking Ghost". 10/10 on the cheese scale, but the book can actually lean a little bit scary with its classic unsettling ending. Join us with your best 90s gear and hop into an R.L. Stine masterpiece.

The three of us went down a hyper-specific rabbit hole in this episode; Am I the Asshole, but with dogs! We tackle the concept of boarding your fiancée and being able to ban dogs from entire neighborhoods. Toni, Bruiser, and our partners get called out as clingy, but we love them despite needing our space.
