Gutterball

November 17, 2015 by cpgronlund 7 Comments

An English bulldog in the grassWelcome to the first episode of Not About Lumberjacks, a monthly fiction podcast by me, Christopher Gronlund. Sometimes the stories I tell contain truths, but most of the time, they’re made up. Sometimes the stories are funny — other times they’re serious. Occasionally, the stories are just plain odd. But you have my word about one thing: I will never — EVER — share a story about lumberjacks.

This month, it’s a Thanksgiving tale about an English bulldog named Gutterball. Gutterball (and the family who loves him) must contend with the dog’s bad habit of eating everything in sight.

I hope you enjoy this all-ages tale.

Content Advisory: Gutterball does die…
