Ellen's dog, Nibbles, is an unusual dog. He's four years old today. Whenever anyone pets him, Nibbles sneezes. And it's not just your average sneeze - it's a humongous, blow-out sneeze! Nibbles also sneezes after he eats or drinks anything. Nibbles has light brown hair with white paws and a white chest. Maybe we should give Nibbles a more unusual name to go with his unusual habit - like Gesundheit!
