The Doorbell Incident Reports: A Case-by-Case Analysis

Cliff the Rooster lets Yeti and everyone else know the sun is coming up because of him

In this episode, Yeti provides a detailed account of the incident now referred to internally as "the pizza box situation." The human had leftover pizza. The human left it unattended on the counter. What followed involved Thor, a series of decisions, and a level of commitment that Yeti describes as "impressive and also very bad." Spicey Pumpkin served as lookout, though her definition of that role differs from everyone else's. Dingus was present but maintains she saw nothing. Pippens watched from the refrigerator and has not been questioned. The human came back. There was a moment. The podcast explores what that moment felt like for everyone involved.

In this episode, Yeti addresses the growing presence of feral cats observed through the back window. Topics covered include: the difference between a feral cat and a regular cat who has simply made poor life choices, why Thor believes he could befriend one if given "just five minutes," and Spicey Pumpkin's firmly held position that the yard belongs to whoever weighs the most.Dingus attempts to align with the cats on philosophical grounds. Pippens, who lives indoors and weighs seven pounds, is asked for comment and does not respond. As usual.

Twice a week, without fail, the trash truck arrives. And twice a week, without fail, four dogs hear it from inside and make a run for the back door before it gets away. In this episode, Yeti walks through everyone’s role in the operation: his own calm observation from the fence, Spicey Pumpkin’s measured two-bark official complaint, Thor’s deep structural bark and his undefeated personal record against municipal waste vehicles, and Dingus — who has been watching that truck for a long time and is clearly building toward something. Dad opens the door. He knows better than to get involved.Cast:• Yeti — Great Dane, narrator, fence observer• Spicey Pumpkin — Great Dane, official objector• Thor — Great Dane, 150 lbs, perfect record vs. trash trucks• Dingus — 50-lb chow mix, gathering intelligence• Dad — opens the door, drinks his coffee, does not interfereKeywords / Tags Great Dane, Great Dane podcast, funny dog podcast, dog humor, dogs and trash trucks, pet podcast, Danes Delight, dog behavior, Great Dane content, funny dog stories, dog life, San Antonio dogs

In this episode, Yeti breaks down the 3 o’clock peanut butter bread routine with the precision it deserves. We cover fence strategy, gate diplomacy, the ongoing patio table situation involving a 150-pound Great Dane named Thor, and the quiet competence of Dingus — a 50-pound chow mix who simply appears when food is involved and asks no follow-up questions. Dinner outside follows. Everyone gets a bowl. The system works.Cast:• Yeti — Great Dane, narrator, fence enthusiast• Spicey Pumpkin — Great Dane, gate diplomat• Thor — Great Dane, 150 lbs, patio table optimist• Dingus — 50-lb chow mix, appears when needed, asks nothingKeywords / Tags Great Dane, Great Dane podcast, funny dog podcast, dog humor, peanut butter dogs, pet podcast, Danes Delight, dog life, Great Dane content, dog routines, funny pets, San Antonio dogs

Yeti breaks down the elaborate production humans make out of simple vet appointments: the pre-visit anxiety voice, the waiting room chorus of nervous energy, the unnecessary praise for sitting on a table, and the post-visit celebration that feels disproportionate to what actually happened. Through his signature deadpan analysis, he explains what actually helps (calm energy) versus what doesn't (performance anxiety) and why dogs pick up on your stress more than you realize.

Yeti provides a case-by-case analysis of doorbell responses and why humans keep acting surprised after 500 identical incidents. Through deadpan logic, he explains the barking intensity scale (Level 1: expected visitor, Level 3: suspicious circumstances), the delivery person pattern, the consistency problem with protective behavior, and why TV doorbells also require verification. Plus practical advice on managing doorbell responses without eliminating natural protective instincts.

Yeti makes his case: Great Danes are the best dog. Not the easiest, cheapest, or longest-lived, but the best. Through his signature deadpan delivery (with more passion than usual), he argues that Great Danes excel as companions due to their impressive presence, gentle temperament, low energy needs, complete loyalty, and deep emotional bonds. But he's also honest about the downsides: cost, health issues, short lifespan, and the intensity of their attachment. This is a love letter to the breed, delivered with characteristic Yeti honesty.

Yeti the Great Dane shares some of his thoughts about humans and more.

Yeti investigates the complex social dynamics between Great Danes and small dogs at the dog park. Through his signature deadpan observations, he explores why dogs under 50 pounds seem personally offended by his existence, the inverse relationship between size and aggression, and that one Pomeranian who barked for four straight minutes without breathing. But this isn't just comedy. Yeti delivers practical socialization advice for Great Dane owners, explains why picking up small dogs during confrontations backfires, and shares the heartwarming story of his peace treaty with Kevin the Dachshund.
