Oliver’s Corner is where our shop dog Oliver — a very good red fox lab — talks about what’s happening at Good 4 Guns. Mostly snacks. Sometimes books.
Hi friends! Oliver here. 🐾
I’ve had a very big spring. I’ve sniffed approximately forty-seven new smells, fallen in one creek (on purpose), been complimented on my ears by six separate customers, and — most importantly — finished my second book.
📗 Oliver’s Safety Squad: Spring Adventures
You may remember my first book, where my lamb Clover and I learned about the 4H fair. Well, Clover came home with me (because she’s the best lamb in the world and obviously belongs with her dog), and now we have a whole new book about exploring the outdoors together.
It’s called Oliver’s Safety Squad: Spring Adventures, and it covers all the very real things a Safety Pup needs to know about a North Texas spring:
- 🌿 What plants to leave alone (leaves of three, let it be!)
- 🐍 What to do when you spot a snake (stay calm, back away, let it go about its business)
- 🔥 Why fire ants are not your friend (Clover figured this out before me — she’s smarter than I look)
- 💧 How creeks change in a storm (this is the big one)
- 🌧️ When to come inside and have a cozy day instead
It’s 13 coloring pages plus a note for the grown-ups, designed for kids ages 4-8, and it’s the kind of book parents can read along with — gently building good outdoor instincts without making the whole world feel scary.
Clover is on every single page, in case you were worried.

💐 A Free Printable for Mother’s Day!
Now for the part I’m most excited about. (Well, second most excited. The book is also up there.)
We made a free printable Mother’s Day card you can color at home. It’s got me and Clover on the front, surrounded by spring flowers, with a little prompt inside that says “You’re the best because ___” — so the kid in your life can fill it in with whatever makes their mom (or grandma, or aunt, or chosen mom-figure) the most wonderful person in their world.
It’s foldable. It’s printable on regular paper. It’s free. And honestly, the answers kids write in that blank are usually better than anything Hallmark could come up with.

Print it. Color it. Hand it to someone who deserves to feel special on May 10th.
We hope Oliver and Clover make someone in your house smile this week.
🐾🍀💐
