Who's the Squirrel Hog in the Jolie-Pitt Furry Family?

While Brad, Angelina, and the big kids were off touring Budapest, three pooches enjoyed a romp around their home.

While Brad, Angelina, and the big kids were off touring Budapest, three pooches enjoyed a romp around their home. The littlest Pug tries to play keep-away with a plush toy, but none of the other dogs seem to care one way or another.

It looks like one creature from a version of Hide A Squirrel, which would come with one squirrel for each pug and the big Bulldog, too. Maybe that's why the other two don't give chase? Judge for yourself and see more pictures of the smooshies in the gallery below.

Why Is My Smooshy So Stinky?

Bulldogs, along with Boxers, Bostons, Persians, and Himalayans (to name a few), fall into a group I like to affectionately call smooshies, based on that unique face shape.

Bulldogs, along with Boxers, Bostons, Persians, and Himalayans (to name a few), fall into a group I like to affectionately call smooshies, based on that unique face shape. They all have brachycephalic skulls — "brachy" means shortened and "cephalic" means head. This creates the wheezes, snores, and snorts commonly coming from their mouths, but also causes another unwelcome emission . . . gas.

Along with narrower nostrils and wind pipes, it can take a greater effort for them to breathe through the nose. Then, when eating, dogs with smushed faces tend to inhale (literally), not chew their food, and typically suck in quite a bit of air in the process, which makes them rather gassy on the other end, too.

What can you do about it? Pick up a bowl to help pets eat, and drink, slower and ingest less air.
