Is this our last episode? Did our friendship survive the ultimate battle for TOP DOG of Lady & the Tramp? Yea, it did.

Sometimes we really talk about dogs, and sometimes we talk about literally anything else. This one is a little skewed towards nostalgia, but we do get in some good commentary about who should hold the leash.

"Let me see that toooooth, Baby when your mouth goes bu duh duh ." If you couldn't tell from that first sentence, we watched Snow Dogs from 2002. For some reason, The Thong song Sisqo is in this. The dogs are cute, the story is bad, but Megan and Melanie had fun. We are missing our 3rd again, but the show must go on. Join in on the conversation: email us at whatthefluffpod@gmail.com .

Ready for some levity? This episode is jam packed with absolutely nothing serious, well, except for what Kirsten has learned about cats. That is completely serious. Cat people, you ok?

We watched the 2016 documentary "Pet Fooled", and boy do we have opinions. There's good info, bad info, and "why is this in here/Barbara, let your husband eat his own carrots," It's a little outdated, but an interesting topic we think needs to be revisited.

2018 was a scary time to be a pet owner. Information was pouring in; telling us that what we were feeding our pets might be killing them. DCM suddenly wasn't only hereditary and it could happen to dogs eating a grain-free diet. Our government issued warnings, scientists posted studies, but then, it all just disappeared. The problem wasn't solved, pet parents didn't have answers, and we are left wo...

Melanie takes us on an insurance journey through the jungle of pre-existing conditions, over the river of coverage options, and up the mountain of controversy and AI.

We would love to dole out advice, shout out your pup, and li...

We shouldn't have to say this, but WE ARE NOT TRAINED PROFESSIONALS. We are just dog moms doing our very best to provide for our furry kids. That said, we do know how to use a search engine and read articles! Megan welcomed 2 littermates into her pack, so we decided to do some research and find out if you can prevent littermate syndrome and is it even real? Email us at whatthefluffpod@gmail.com ....

One of the most unpredictable and anxiety inducing interaction your dog can have is when they meet another dog. Whether that dog is your dog, a friend's, or a strange dog coming up to you, you never can quite predict how it will go. Megan and Melanie discuss strategies, personal experiences, and when you just hope to get lucky. We also expose the truth about Toni. We are sorry we kept it a secret...

We can all blame Amazon for this one. Let's celebrate toxic relationships, actively avoid healthy ones, and call senior citizens slutty. Not convinced yet? What about the fact that I had to edit out almost an hour long sigh from Melanie? Want to get in on the conversation? Or send us GOOD dog movies? Email us at whatthefluffpod@gmail.com .

Now that we have the characters out of the way, how about listening to us discuss the rest of the movie? Jam packed with hilarious scenes, we do our best to share our favorites while psychoanalyzing the heck out of the characters. Is it time for a remake of Best in Show? We think so!

Buckle up because this is a LONG one. So long that we needed to break it into 2 parts! We really spend our time in part one discussing all the incredible characters Best in Show has to offer. Melanie confesses which duo she identifies with, Megan makes a terrible song listenable, and Kirsten shares her profound love of her comfort movie. Join us in a cozy and hilarious recounting of one of the fun...

In this "Am I the Asshole" episode, we tackle both Halloween and Thanksgiving holidays when OP (original poster) asks if they did something wrong. Leaning heavily on our own experiences we dole out advice, stick to our guns, and have level headed Kirsten balance the children vs dogs debates. Want to get in on the conversation?

The number 13 is associated with being either unlucky or lucky, so we though this would be the perfect episode to share some interesting dog stories who came out on top or it just wasn't their day. TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses dogs being injured and 9/11 (thanks Melanie). We do not go into graphic details, but we do mention some sensitive topics. Want to get in on the conversation?

1992 hits us HARD in this episode with "Are You Afraid of the Dark" Season 1, Episode 5: The Tale of the Hungry Hounds. Despite having 7 dogs on screen, this one is light on the pup talk. We do, however, delve in to 80's mall singers, cow-print vests, and the idea of ghost trauma. So, put on your nostalgia hats and join us for our last spooky themed episode. Want to get in on the conversation? Ema...

Sorry for the immediate spoiler, but hey, even the director released a short before the theatrical release telling everyone the dog lives. Mega horror fan Melanie may have pushed her agenda to get this on the docket, but both Megan and Kirsten were great sports as all three discussed the plot and recapped the entire film. Indy is the most adorable star and he didn't even know he was in a movie. No...

Revisiting Goosebumps as an adult is an interesting experience. In this episode, we discuss the similarities and differences between the book and the TV show for "The Barking Ghost". 10/10 on the cheese scale, but the book can actually lean a little bit scary with its classic unsettling ending. Join us with your best 90s gear and hop into an R.L. Stine masterpiece. Shoutout our favorite shelters a...
