Why do humans think dogs want to do fewer things and have fewer playtime sessions in winter? Just because humans begin to hibernate like a bear as the weather gets cooler doesn’t mean we want to do the same.
We are dogs. We need dog-tivities year-round.
For you humans that appear to be a little short on creativity about what to do with your canine pals during the fall and winter season, I'm giving you a personal ticket to the clue train. Let's take a ride.
One: get a giant box – something a refrigerator would come in – and open it on each end. Bring another dog over and let us chase each other through it until we're dizzy.
Two: go to the hamster section of a pet store. Purchase one of the clear balls they roll around in. Put a few pieces of food in it, seal the lid and let us work out the rest.
Three: Buy two-dozen, plastic Easter eggs. Fill them with treats and hide them around the house.
Four: Let us pose for our own dog’olantern and then take us trick or treating with you.
So, here’s my lesson of the day… Hibernating is for bears not humans and dogs. Humans need activity (year round) to stay happy and healthy. Dogs are no different. Catch a ride on the clue train and make this winter a real indoor dog-tivity adventure for all of us.
Q Okay, the question of the day is from Wooster who asked: What’s a layoff? My human dad has one. It seems to make him really unhappy. How can I get rid of it?
Dear Wooster:
Your human doesn’t have a layoff; your human has been laid off which means they lost their job. A job is what they do all day when they aren’t playing with you. Humans get rewarded (with green paper they carry around) when they go to their job. The paper must be something like a doggie treat for us. This green paper must be special because most humans go to jobs a lot. Give your human a new job: taking care of you all day. I'm not sure where you can get the green paper they like but taking care of you will give them a reward of a different kind that will earn them green paper in heaven.
