Many years ago, Gunther kept an online diary.
Because he was a dog, I did all the typing for him.
All these entries are completely true.
FOOD OR NOT FOOD
Current Mood: Hungry
sometimes i eat things that aren’t food. i ate a cassette tape, a bilbo baggins action figure and a stuffed alligator head. then i go for a ride in the car to visit the vet.
Current Mood: Hungry
everything that falls on the floor is mine to eat. i can hear a crumb drop from the other end of the house. sometimes i find small pieces of paper, pen caps and furballs instead. i eat them too because they are on the floor.
Current Mood: Hungry
i like to dig big deep holes in the backyard. then i stick my head in the hole and bark.
Current Mood: Hungry
when i was a puppy, i ate a row of aloe cactus. they tasted pointy. the vet said that the cactus didn’t hurt my mouth at all and that my fur was very soft and shiny.
Current Mood: Hungry
i like to bark at pigeons. i eat birdseed and gravel in the backyard.
Current Mood: Hungry
i have a cat friend. last christmas she pushed a chocolate santa off the table and onto the floor for me. it had crunchy tinfoil on the outside.
Current Mood: Hungry
i like peanut butter. i like to eat things out of the garbage. i have one head, three legs and a tail.
Current Mood: Hungry
i can smell mushrooms growing deep under the ground. i dig them up and eat them and then i get in trouble.
Current Mood: Hungry
i chewed on my goat hoof all day long. it had peanut butter in it but i licked it away. i take hoofie outside with me. i hold it in my mouth when i pee. hoofie smells good and stinky.
Current Mood: Hungry
i ate dog food and some carrots. when i threw up the carrots were back so i ate them again.
Current Mood: Hungry
i ate a taxidermy alligator head i found on the bookshelf. it was crunchy and tasted like a mummy. mama thought it was a chicken carcass or maybe one of the cats. she screamed and took it away.
Current Mood: Hungry
i ate a sheet of aluminum foil covered with chicken grease and crunchy burnt things. the vet said i would be okay, but to call them if i threw up or made sparks.
Current Mood: Hungry
i found a piece of bread on poppa’s plate. i had to jump up to reach it. i ate it real fast. poppa got another bready piece to make his sandwich.
Current Mood: Hungry
i push people into the refrigerator so they will give me food. i know that’s where the carrots live.
Current Mood: Hungry
this is my begging face. if i do this long enough someone gives me food.
My beloved Gunther makes a cameo appearance in The Secret Kingdom..
I miss him very much.

Absolutely love Gunther’s diary. Made me lol several times and then tear up when I think of how short and precious dogs’ lives are.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts 🙂 Gunther wrote his diary years ago… when I found it again, I laughed and cried all over the place. The 11 1/2 years I had with my beloved Gunther went way too fast. Truly, he has left his paw-prints on my heart forever.

Haha, I love this post! It is adorable! My pups are the same way! Always hungry and always waiting in the kitchen for food. I have a delicious (and easy to make) treat recipe being posted this Friday! Please feel free to check it out and try it with Gunther.
