Why does my dog…

Why does my dog tilt their head when I talk?

Some fast-food chains don’t just cater to people. They’ve made space on the menu for dogs, too. These little extras, like pup cups and biscuits, are available year-round, and they’re an easy way to make your dog’s day a little brighter.

Starbucks is the most famous stop, where a free Puppaccino (a small cup of whipped cream) has become a dog-approved classic. Dairy Queen offers a Pup Cup topped with a Milk-Bone, while Sonic has Wag Cups with soft serve. At Dunkin’, some locations hand out a Cup for Pup, and Chick-fil-A often keeps Milk-Bones or even small ice cream cups on hand.

Regional favorites join in, too. Rita’s Italian Ice serves Pup Cups with Milk-Bones, and Andy’s Frozen Custard offers free Pup Cones (a tiny custard cone just for dogs).

Not every location participates, so it’s always worth asking before you order. But when they do, it’s a simple way to turn a routine drive-thru into a shared treat. For dogs, it’s not just the snack, it’s the joy of being included!

This is Uuna, Pat’s fearless companion, full-time adventurer, and best friend. Whether she’s chasing squirrels and rabbits or standing guard against snapping turtles, Uuna takes her duties seriously and doesn’t miss a beat.

With her sharp ears and steady gaze, Uuna’s always alert and always by Pat’s side. She’s got the heart of a guardian and the loyalty of a lifelong friend.

If you’ve ever come home to a wagging tail and a little puddle, you’re not alone. Excited peeing is fairly common in puppies and sometimes seen in adult dogs. While it can be frustrating, experts say it’s usually not something to worry about (at least at first).

Puppies under six months often lack full bladder control, which explains why greetings and play can trigger accidents. But age isn’t the only factor. Dogs who aren’t fully housetrained or those who get overwhelmed by enthusiastic greetings are more likely to pee when happy. Timid pups or rescues with sensitive temperaments may also urinate submissively when feeling nervous.

Sometimes, though, excited peeing can signal a medical issue like a urinary tract infection or bladder stones. If the behavior appears suddenly in older dogs or continues despite training, vets recommend checking in with your clinic.

The good news? Most dogs improve with patience, consistent training, and calm greetings. Vets and trainers agree: keep it positive, never punish, and remember that accidents are part of the process.
