Top tips for dogs (and their owners)

If you're a dog who's looking for some useful advice, then you've come to the right place! That's because this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog features a round-up of top tips for dogs.

Also, if you're a dog owner, rather than a dog, then you're also in the right place, as I've also included a few top tips for dog owners, so hopefully there should be something here for everyone.

Anyway, without further ado, let's get straight on with the tips...

1) Hungry dogs. Steal a doughnut the same color as your fur and then sit really still. That way, your owners will never notice.

"If I don't move, and just stare straight ahead, then I think I'll get away with it."

2) Dog owners. Convince your dog you've invented a death machine by switching on your vacuum cleaner.

Cats and dogs make the world a better place. Following on from that logic, cats and dogs must also make a blog a better place!

So this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog pays tribute to cats and dogs with another blog post dedicated to our furry friends.

Let's get things rolling with some canine inspired relationship advice.

1) Find someone who looks at you the way this dog looks at the barbecue...

National Pet Day falls on 11th April, so this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog pays tribute to our furry friends with another blog post on cats and dogs.

Cats and dogs make a welcome return to the Charles Fudgemuffin blog.

1) When you go to work each morning, your dog probably thinks you're going for a walk on your own for eight hours.



2) On a related note, the reason why dogs love destroying shoes is probably because they see humans putting them on before they leave the house.

This week we got to celebrate National Pet Day, so in honor of cats and dogs, here's another collection of random feline and canine thoughts and observations.

"I love doughnuts! Er, I mean, I love my owner.""

1) If a dog jumps on your lap, it is because he loves you.
If a cat jumps on your lap, it is because your lap is warmer.



2) 'Meow' means 'woof' in cat.



3) When cat food and dog food is advertised as a 'new improved flavour', who tests it?

Some people describe themselves as cat people. Some people think of themselves more as dog people. But whatever you are, cats and dogs are both totally cool pets, so in honour of our pets, here are a few more random thoughts and observations about cats and dogs.

"Shark! Come here, Shark!"

1) Taking a dog named Shark to the beach is a very bad idea.



2) Why can't you buy mouse flavoured cat food?



3) In the Toy Story universe, dog toys have a horrifying life.

Things that unintentionally made me laugh (part 1: 'Cute' dog names)

A cute dog, but what cute name can we give him?

This week's blog post focuses on a random website I came across one day which unintentionally made me laugh. To further explain, the website wasn't supposed to be funny, but my easily amused brain nevertheless found it very amusing.

The website in question was a website called 'Cute Dog Names', and as you might have already guessed, it's a website which generates a random selection of cute dog names for anyone looking for a cute name for their new puppy. It sounds like a cool idea, but I have to say, the website's idea of a cute dog name, and my idea of a cute dog name, are somewhat different.

To illustrate what I mean, take a look at some of the allegedly 'cute' dog names it suggested...

A full day in honour of me! Wow!

This week saw the celebration of National Pet Day on April 11th, so in honor of our pets, here are a few more observations about cats and dogs.

1) If your house was on fire your dog would bark to wake you up to let you know of the danger. Your cat would quietly sneak out of the house.


2) Cats probably wonder why bottles of fizzy drinks are so angry whenever they're opened.


3) If you're over 30, you're older than every single cat and dog in the world.

April 11th is National Pet Day, so in honor of our our pets, here are a few observation about cats and dogs.

"Meow!" "Woof!"

1) If you died at home, your dog would be found sitting next to your corpse looking sad. Your cat would be found sitting staring at its empty food bowl.


2) When the doorbell rings, why do dogs always assume it's for them?


3) Why does Goofy stand on two legs when Pluto stands on four legs? They're both dogs.
