Wistful Wiley
Have y'all seen this video of a service dog "crying" at the grave of its handler's grandmother?
Wiley, normally the stoic type, appeared inconsolable at the cemetery.
Oy. Grandma must've been the one who doled out the Milk Bones.
Not for nothing but I had Wiley pegged as a husky. Then I read he's a wolfdog.
I don't know from wolfdogs but I imagine that being part wolf, they are more emotional than huskies.
Some skeptical readers and viewers have opined that Wiley is merely having a reverse sneezing fit -- whatever that is.
His owner denies that Wiley is prone to bouts of sneezing, reverse or otherwise. Also he has never behaved in a lugubrious fashion, either before or since.
It was just that one time, at the grave.
What say you, pirate readers?
While you ponder, to cut the sorrow of Wiley's sneezing grieving I bring you this video of a trio of nimble dachshunds on a treadmill.
When the one on the far left slid back and had to scramble to catch up or else fall off, I almost fell off my bed laughing.
And why do they yawn while they trot? Is simple treadmill fatigue -- exacerbated by short legs -- to blame, or is something more sinister at work here?
As always, your input is welcome.
That is all for now.

Dogs are special creatures. The bond they have with their owners, the way they mourn the loss of their human family members. The same can be said about 'some' dog owners. I know we are like that, our dogs throughout our life have been family members.
We have always taken dogs in, strays that bad humans just drop off and leave without a second thought. It breaks my heart.
Hummmm...well...I've heard my dogs do that but it is usually a sign of a throat infection. BUT! maybe not...who knows, but it makes you want to bawl...!!!
Loved the second one as well....wish our Buddy would get on our treadmill!

I've got no brilliant thoughts on this but I thought the treadmill video was adorable. I've heard of dogs sitting at their owners graves before. They know more than we give them credit for I think.
I vote for the sneezing fit on the first one. The second video is the funniest one I've seen in a long time. I think they are showing off when they yawn.
