What The Fluff?!
Welcome to What the Fluff? A podcast for dog havers, wanters, and admirers! We’re going to talk about dogs and anything and everything dog adjacent. We’ll discuss topics ranging from the great witch Hecate and her black dog pack to "does this weird glove actually detangle my dog's fur? So grab a leash and join our pack, because what the fluff are you doing that’s better than talking with us today?
#13: You Un/Lucky Dog, You!
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.

<...#12: Are You Afraid of the Dark? - Yes, and you should be too.
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.

#11: Good Boy 2025 - The Dog Lives
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. Not a horror fan? That's ok, we break down the film so it's not too scary (or too sad).

#10: Goosebumps - Not Every Dog is Lassie
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.

The three of us went down a hyper-specific rabbit hole in this episode; Am I the Asshole, but with dogs! We tackle the concept of boarding your fiancée and being able to ban dogs from entire neighborhoods. Toni, Bruiser, and our partners get called out as clingy, but we love them despite needing our space.
