Pawplexity Treats have moved to Substack, where new ones publish alongside the episodes.
Find them at pawplexity.substack.com/s/pawplexity-treats
Episodes start with situations. Treats stay longer with the ideas underneath them: control, predictability, attachment, stress, participation, ageing, responsibility, and the quiet negotiations that make up everyday life with a dog.
These are attempts to look more carefully at things we usually think we already understand.
Each Treat is written and recorded. The written version is here. The audio reading is on the Pawplexity Pawdcast channel, for those who prefer to listen.
Pawplexity Treats is where the Pawdcast conversations slow down and dive deeper into the topic, both in writing and recorded as audio.
T4: Learning to leave
What we humans are still working out is what to do with ourselves when we have left.
T3: What a vet visit teaches a dog
The dog cannot defer, ask, or wait for more information. They just keep reading whoever is beside them, and they do it more accurately than anyone else in the room.
T2: What we write when we leave
The longer the notes get, the more they are trying to hand over the relationship itself.
T1: The dog you pictured and the one that arrived
None of us had expected how quickly we'd stop being the ones with the plan.
