🐾 Hey Chesnyy! 🐾 Monday Advice Column is OPEN for business!
It’s me, Chesnyy the Servicerottie! Your favorite Professional Good Girl™ with a black belt in zoomies, ear scratches, and heartfelt wisdom. 😌💕🐕🦺
Last week’s test post had SO many questions my tail almost flew off from all the wagging! We couldn’t get to everyone, so this week I’m choosing a few extra-interesting ones (or topics the world desperately needs to hear) plus 5-10 random ones depending on how many treats I’ve earned.
If I don’t get to your question this Monday, please don’t look at me with those sad puppy eyes! Just drop it again next week; I’m a very good girl but I only have so many brain cells and they’re mostly used for “where’s the cheese?”
Spill your questions in the comments! Dog training struggles, relationship ruff times, fashion dilemmas, feeling a bit down… anything goes. I bring canine wisdom, maximum empathy, and zero judgment (unless you’re a squirrel).
(Full disclosure: I’m a service dog, not a licensed psychologist… but I’m an expert in living my best life, making others feel special, training humans and puppies with big egos, looking ridiculously adorable, and loving with my whole giant heart. Worst case? I’ll prescribe a cookie or bacon and a big dramatic stretch. It’s never failed me yet.)
Tag your friends who need some tail-wagging therapy, or your enemies that need to learn manners, share this post so more friends can join the pack, and let’s make Mondays way less “Monday” together!
What’s weighing on your mind today, bestie? I’m all ears, all floof, and ready to help. 🥰🐾

OMG, humans and DogsOfX, brace yourselves—I'm about to drop the most unhinged snow footage this yard has ever witnessed.
Picture this: I, Chesnyy the Snow Destroyer, Supreme Ruler of All Things Fluffy and Cold, hit the yard like a furry missile with a zoomie addiction. I’m talking full-throttle, ears-flapping-like-helicopter-blades, snow exploding in slow-motion mushroom clouds behind me. Belly-deep snow? Please. That’s just my personal foam pit for practicing Olympic-level face-plants and mid-air twists. I’m out there carving perfect figure-eights, doing triple axels, and basically turning the entire backyard into a Chesnyy-shaped crater. I’m a snow tornado with paws. A rottweiler-shaped blizzard. A furry avalanche with attitude.
And then… there’s Kenji.
This tiny, round, absolute UNIT of a baby rottie sees me launching off the ramp like a furry rocket and decides, “Big sis is living her best life—I must participate immediately.” So he starts BOUNCING. Not running. Not trotting. BOUNCING. Like someone glued a pogo stick to a baked potato and gave it dreams.
Boing-boing-boing down the ramp after me, little legs going full jackhammer, face screaming “I’M FLYING, CHESNYY, LOOK AT ME FLYYYYY!”
I’m out here committing war crimes against snowdrifts—plowing through them like a furry bulldozer on Red Bull—and this little gremlin is just happily ricocheting in my wake like “Wait up! I believe I can touch the sky!” Every time I blast past him at Mach 5, he does this excited full-body wiggle-bounce-spin combo that looks like a malfunctioning Roomba with joy overload.
Eventually he musters the courage to abandon the ramp and wades into the deep stuff. Takes him approximately nine business days to move three feet, but he’s out there doing the world’s slowest, most determined sniffs like “Ah yes, this snow smells like… snow. And victory.”
I swear on every treat I’ve ever stolen, if this video doesn’t make you ugly-laugh and hit replay 47 times, I’m coming for your socks. All of them.
Video incoming in 3… 2… 1…🐾💥🚀Prepare for total rottie chaos, maximum zoomie energy, and Kenji straight-up stealing my entire spotlight like the chubby little scene-thief he is.
