Dear Dr. Sadie,
I have a big, loveable dog. His name is Tootie. He's everything anyone could want in a dog - cuddly, affectionate, well-behaved and friendly to strangers. The problem is that he smells terrible. He has a room-clearing stench. I don't mind so much, but it's making my social life disappear. What should I do?
- Tootie Lover
My Grandpa has a dog named Nellie. She's really smelly. She's especially smelly when she goes down to the river. Maybe you should keep Tootie away from the river. You could give him a wash. You should use shampoo all over him, because he's very hairy. Dog hair is called fur. You could wash him in kiwi water and dandelion water, so he would smell nice.

This Pocket Needs a Refill
Dear Dr. Sadie,
A few years ago, when my brother was having a bit of a rough patch, I lent him $5000. I told him that I wasn't concerned with repayment schedules or interest, but that he should pay me back when he could. He's now back on his feet and making a good living, but he's made no mention of the money. He has made no attempt to even start paying me back. Should I discuss a payment schedule with him or be more patient?
- Brother Moneybags
Maybe you should be a little bit more patient because he's in a rough patch. That doesn't sound like a good place to be. You should also eat some berries, because I think you like berries. I like raspberries the best.

Puppy Love, Sadie-style
Dear Dr. Sadie,
I am 13 years old. I really like a girl in my class. How do I tell her?
- Crushing
You should say "Please" and "Thank You" to her. That's how you are nice to people. You should ask her on a play date. You can play in a pool or something like that. You should give her sun tan lotion. She will really like that. Maybe you should buy a new house where you can both live together.

The Dreaded Pool of Doom
Dear Dr. Sadie,
My wife and I just bought our dream home. It's everything we wanted and more. Unfortunately, it has a pool. My wife is happy about this, but I have a serious fear of pools, ever since I nearly drowned when I was a child. I've never told her about this fear, and I don't want to tell her. Still, it seems that it's only a matter of time before it comes up. I can only excuse myself from swimming for so long. What can I do?
- Not Exactly Johnny Weismuller
Maybe you should get something different for your home. That way your wife can have a pool and you can have something different. Maybe you could get a kitty cat. You could name the cat Tooey.

Should I Stay or Should I Go
Dear Dr. Sadie,
I'm a gay man. I've been seeing the same guy for three months now and I'm starting to fall for him....hard. However, he says he's not in a place in his life to be in a relationship. But, I'm not willing to give up so easily...even though I know I'm not the only person he's seeing (although I'm fairly certain we have a much stronger connection than he does with the other boy). He says he cares a lot about me and never wants to let go of my hand when we say good bye. Should I protect myself from heartache and just drop things now? Or should I press on and see where this story can go?
Yours Truly,
Mr. Too Much Love To Give
You should go find a new friend because you want to. That's all I have to say about that one.

Independence Day
Dear Dr. Sadie,
How do you like to celebrate the 4th of July?
- Founding Dada
I like to dress up like a princess. I like to be a princess that lives with a prince. I like to march in parades. I like to watch the fireworks. I don't like to bring food to the 4th of July. That's not right. People shouldn't eat on the 4th of July.

Let the buyer beware
Dear Dr. Sadie,
I recently sold a car to a friend. Right before I sold it to him, I brought it to the mechanic, who did a tune up and checked it out. He told me it was fine.
My friend and I agreed on a price. Two months after he bought it, the engine died. My friend says that I owe him for half of the repairs. What do you think?
- Seller's Remorse
You should both get new cars for your friends. This old car sounds lousy. You should get an Apple Car like Lowly Worm drives.
