Open Post: Hosted By A Dog Named Lucy Who Can’t Catch Anything In Her Mouth

I’ve always wanted to be able to do one thing more than anything else: learn to catch food in my mouth. When I was a kid, I was obsessed with catching shit in my mouth, because it felt like that’s all teenagers on TV were ever doing was throwing popcorn into each others mouths and laughing like it was the most fun thing they’ve ever done. Needless to say, I spent hours trying to catch popcorn in my mouth, but I sucked super hard and would just end up with a face full of kernel lacerations.

Cut to today, and I’m still terrible at catching things in my mouth (“Is that why you never have plans on Friday night?” – Michael K). So I can fully relate to Lucy the clumsy-mouthed golden retriever. Lucy is 10-years-old and she still hasn’t learned how to catch food in her food hole! Every time someone tosses her a delicioso scrap of human food, it either sails over her head or hits her in the face. Don’t worry Lucy, it’s not your fault – sometimes the person shooting has shitty aim. Catching stuff in your mouth is a two-way street!

If I were Lucy, I would be BEYOND pissed if someone was throwing food at me and none of it was going in my mouth, but Lucy stays cool and keeps trying. Lucy is a damn inspiration.
