Drooley
We named our new bulldog pup, Drooley, in honor of never-ending slobbering. As he matured, Drooley’s slobbering grew worse. Navigating through our house was like running a gauntlet of huge slime spots that Drooley slung on floors and walls every time he shook his head.
We took Drooley to our vet who laughed when she measured the prodigious amount of slobber that Drooley produced, but she couldn’t recommend any measures to reduce it.
Desperate, we invented our own cure. We added alum to Drooley’s food.
A week later, we celebrated our brilliant discovery by giving Drooley a new name, Pucker.
