Hot Dog!

Damn, this humidity is kicking my butt.  After only a few puny blocks, I’m already panting and shuffling along even with my water bottle handy.  What’s a hot, fuzzy boy to do? Ah, yes. I’m not allowed in this fountain (nor would I jump in as I’m not THAT fond of being wet) but mama…

The Exploding Sky

Oh damn. It’s that time of year again. The time when you humans feel the need to blow things up in a pretty way. Last night here in Philadelphia the walls were shaking with the booms.  I was barking non-stop for almost an hour trying to chase ’em away.  I wasn’t really afraid, just kind…

No Bad Dogs

During the evening walkie, we walked past the spot where the old Philly AIDS Thrift store was… it’s just moved around the block, but they still have a box of books out front for the taking. Guess which one I spotted? And just in case you think that I’m going all soft and becoming a…

Iron Butterfly

Blame it on the Rain

Thank goodness.  Today mama and I got caught out in a rainstorm.  AND IT WAS DAMN GOOD. After an interminably long time without rain or break from suffocating heat and humidity, today it rained.  Hard.  For a rather short time, but since I was out walking in it, it was perfect timing.  Put a new…
