Hi, I’m Harley Quinn and I love to play! Are you a human with an overwhelming urge to throw and kick dog toys? Then I’m your dog! I will chase balls. I will chase kongs. I’ll even chase a frisby and catch it in the air! Why do I do this? I don’t know! But I love it!!! And I will love you if you play with me. I’ll bring the toy right back every time and set it at your feet. I will also protect you from belligerent stuffed animals. They think they’re all so cute and cuddly. I will teach every stuffed animal a lesson by shaking the crap out of it. Once I’ve subdued the beast, we can play fetch with it! WIN-WIN! Well, maybe not for the stuffed animal… but they were asking for it.

Harley Quinn here! Taking a break from chasing toys to bark about my week. It’s been mostly chasing toys - calls, frisbees, this little bone I chew on, or literally anything you wave in front of me and throw. I feel it's a good use of my time. I made friends with two humans who like to rub my belly, so they're ok. Though they keep following me around with a dustpan that I poop on. So they're a little weird, but make it up to me by throwing toys afterwards. I've been walking on a leash and being a good girl. Met some dogs too! They're not as fun as toys but I don't mind herding them around and telling them what to do in the yard. I’m taking my yellow bandana test tomorrow. If I pass, it means I get to make ALL the humans in here throw toys for me! It’s about time they started pulling their weight. They’ve just been wasting their little thumb thingies by not throwing toys for me to chase. So finally they will find purpose. Oh my gawd - that reminds me! I haven’t chased a toy in ten minutes! I gotta go!! Harley Quinn signing off!

Hey everyone! Harley Quinn here! This week I have dedicated myself to licking the floor, I know what you are thinking, but hear me out. I’m pretty smart and I have discovered that sometimes food falls on the floor. My theory is that maybe food wants to be on the floor! My genius has also discovered that food tastes good, and by extension the floor tastes good where the food falls. So, I posit that perhaps by licking the delicious floor, I can entice more food to fall there. In order to scientifically test my theory I have spent the last week observing humans eating food, predicting various food falling and the trajectory, and licking the floor. It’s all very technical. Some of you may question my resolve when faced with humans who stubbornly thwart food’s innate desire to become airborne. However, I assure you that I, Harley Quinn, will continue to doggedly continue my research by licking the floor until this mystery is solved.
The humans spent this week trying to teach me to look at them. I am not sure why. They are very interesting to look at. They are not made of toys, and only slightly made of food. But, I will be a good girl and help them out. It’s the least I can do. I feel sorry for them because they are not as adorable to look at as I am! Harley Quinn out!

Harley Quinn here! Okay dogs - let’s talk, we need to set some ground rules for the canine population. First, I have no interest in you. You have no thumbs which means you cannot throw balls for me. If you can;t throw a ball for me, that basically makes you useless in Harlet’s world… unless you are also literally made of bologna. Humans DO appear to be made of bologna, or at least have some sort of supernatural ability to make it appear in their pockets and stylish fanny packs. This is why I let them rub my adorable tummy. It;s all part of my cunning plan to attain their delicious, magical bologna and get them to throw balls.
Second, I need NO competition when it comes to chasing balls. Understand that ALL balls belong to me, I get to chase the ball - you get to watch me chase the ball. If you would like to help, I will allow you to be my emotional support animal. Other than that, stay the heck away from my ball! I have no interest in jumping around with you if there is no ball chasing involved. If you do have a ball, you need to drop that thing and get away from me while I play with your ball. I will not be mean to you, but remember: all balls belong to me. So give me your ball and go play with a stick or something.
Third, and very importantly, we need to talk about meeting me. I am a lady, and as such, you are not allowed to sniff my butt. I am allowed to sniff your butt, but you need to know your role and just stand there while I do that. If you try to sniff my butt, I will snarl and check the crap out of you. Unless you have a ball. If you have a ball, I will wait patiently for you to sniff me until the second you drop the ball. Then it's MINE, and I will take your ball and run away. Because, remember, all balls belong to me.
Great talk dogs, Harley Quinn out!

Harley Quinn here!
Okay humans - I don’t know what's going on with you, but we need to talk. First you’re all like, “Come here, follow me, let’s go.” All the time it’s go, go, go! Put on the lash and walk, walk, walk! Now all of a sudden you want me to stay, stay?!?! Are you serious right now? Stay in one spot while you walk away, then wait for you to come back, when did this become a thing? I think you people have some serious issues. I do not want to stay. I want to chase balls, frisbees and literally anything you throw over and over and over again. YOU can stay. Stay there, throw the thing and I will be right back with it! I’ll give it back to you because you did such a good job of staying there. Good human. Now… throw the thing again! But nooooo, you just have to ruin our relationship dynamic by making ME stay. Oh I'll do it – while staring at you with an attitude and puppy cuteness! I might even wag my stumpy tail to make you feel even worse about it. You will reap the whirlwind of my cuteness. Mark my words humans, there will be a furry reckoning for all this staying you're putting me through!
