Dogs do too blog

So I'm reading the New York Times on July 30, I get to the end of an article on blogging by Sarah Boxer, and it states, "Dogs would never blog." Says who? I mean, I know I sleep 20 hours a day, but that still leaves a few minutes for blogging. So I decided to start this blog, just to prove Sarah Boxer wrong. (I mean, come on: her last name is Boxer, you'd think she'd know dogs better!)

I'm not sure yet what I'm going to blog about, but here are a few ideas:
1) The stupid things humans do for their owners,
2) Crunchy versus chewy: the Milkbone debate,
3) Must you shove that pill down my throat?, and
4) Slow down already: Walks are for sniffing, not walking.

You're probably wondering about the title of this blog. My human used to call blankets "binkies" when she was a puppy. I love it - it's so much more creative than the usual "blanky." Anyway, because we dogs love to use silly names for objects associated with our pet...um, I mean humans, I started calling my blankets "binkies." Being a dachshund I naturally spend most of my time under a binkie, even in the middle of summer when the air conditioning is broken. Hence the title.
