Having heard the “Did I tell you about the time I ran the London Marathon “ on repeat, Puck’s self control was beginning to falter….

So immensely and unashamedly proud of my number 1 human who completed the London Marathon in aid of Nexus.

Interesting for those of us with young dogs 🐶🐾

In conclusion, this study shows that the risk of cranial cruciate ligament disease in dogs is linked to how long they are exposed to natural s*x hormones, and the relationship isn’t simple or linear. The highest risk was seen when females were spayed before about 1054 days (just under 3 years) and males before about 805 days (a little over 2 years). These results may help define what counts as “early” spay or neuter when it comes to cranial cruciate ligament disease risk.

Veterinary reproduction specialists now recommend hormone-preserving sterilization: preventing unwanted litters & less risk of torn cruciates.

📰🚨BREAKING NEWS 🚨📰

Puck, the rescue pup has made history as the first dog in the UK trained to detect selective hearing.

For millennia, people have claimed their partners, children (and let’s be honest — themselves) “just didn’t hear” something. Turns out, that odious behaviour leaves a stink. And Puck can sniff it out. 👃😳

It’s a groundbreaking leap in behavioral science — and a devastating blow to excuse-makers everywhere.

🎤🐾 EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: 5 Minutes with Puck, the Dog Who Sniffs Out Selective Hearing

Q: Puck, what exactly is selective hearing?

Puck: It’s when humans hear “want a drink?” loud and clear, but mysteriously miss “can you bring in the washing ?” I don’t need a lab in a coat to tell you—it reeks of dodgy.

Q: So… you can actually smell it?

Puck: Yep. When a person’s ignoring another human’s inconvenient requests, their body chemistry changes. I can pick that odour up like a week old sausage supper. Delightful… yet damning.

Q: How did you train for this groundbreaking role?

Puck: A lot of sniffing, a little science, and an uncanny ability to detect avoidance. Also: cheese. Let’s not downplay the role of cheese.

Q: Do people lie to you?

Puck: Well, it’s mostly men who try to. But I stare deep into their soul and sniff silently in their ear like, “Sir, you absolutely heard her ask you to take the bin out!”

Q: What’s next for you?

Puck: Expanding my range. Ghosting detection. Gaslighting alerts. Maybe write a book: “If I Smelt It, You Ignored It.”
