Stogies and Milk Bones, together for a fun night in Las Vegas. The Suburban Wundermutt has found his niche at the roulette table.

With December approaching, the Suburban Wundermutt is learning about priorities. As the old sales rule says… you don’t get the order unless you ask.

He’s sleek, he’s fast, he’s long and lean. He’s Suburban Wundermutt 2.0 and he’s relentless. And, as his name tag suggests, he’s number one in our hearts. Despite his growing confidence he is not above the head tilt that so effectively accompanies “The Beg.” In this instance it is for another Beggin’ Strip that is a permanent part of his training regimen. As he reaches seven months, and almost 40 pounds, his place in the Cul-de-sac Jungle has become secure. Wayward deer and groundhogs beware… SWM is on the job!

Deeply rooted in Suburban Wundermutt lore, the wax bean has been a favorite treat for generations. Much like his predecessor, SWM 2.0 does his best recreation of the shark attack from Jaws while wildly lunging for the prized legume. Constant training is important for our canine compadre and the wax bean provides that as well as a tasty reward.

As the young Suburban Wundermutt becomes more accustomed to the Cul-de-sac Jungle it is necessary to have an audience with the Feline Blizzard. To say he will need to earn her trust is an understatement. Lying on her raised bed like Jabba The Hutt she plainly spells out the ground rules for the new alliance. Although their start has been contentious, wayward deer, groundhogs and other critters will soon know they are working in tandem.

As he continues to grow the young Suburban Wundermutt finds the box perch to be a favorite spot to scan the Cul-de-sac Jungle. Delivery drivers and neighbors alike will hear his call. Wayward deer and their new fawns will scamper. Squirrels? Not so much. They know he can’t climb trees… yet.

Introducing Uno, the Suburban Wundermutt 2.0. He’s a little smaller than Finn, our original, but just as spry and fun. Stay tuned for more adventures of our newest Suburban Wundermutt as he navigates through the Cul-de-sac Jungle!

On December 1st 2021 the Suburban Wundermutt quietly and peacefully passed away after a year long battle with cancer. He will be sorely missed. Perhaps there will be a 2.0 version of SWM in the future. For now the Cul-de-sac Jungle is quiet with sadness but also great memories of a life so well lived. Run free sweet boy!

The stingingly inviting aroma of buffalo wings hangs in the air like a missed note during the national anthem at a football game. And with it comes the hypnotic stare of the Suburban Wundermutt. Like a patient lion watching the unsuspecting impala stroll aimlessly across the Serengeti, he waits for the chance to strike. Thankfully the hand of delivery is not harmed and is able to tee up another treat. As fall gives way to winter these subtle changes in the SWM diet are a sign that tough times could be ahead. The Cul-de-sac Jungle could see up to TWO inches at a time of relentless snow. Brutally cold temperatures as low as 40 degrees could thwart any chance to make it through unscathed. Only the strong can subsist in such unforgiving conditions!
