Tip Toe Stomp Through the Tulips

Who am I kidding?  Who is going to tip toe when you can have the pleasure of stomping through tulips? Yes, they’re quite pretty.  And fun to walk through. It’s a delicate game of navigation that humans cannot really understand.  The way we swerve, move our bodies on 4 legs gracefully yet completely clumsily at…

PIFA Transe Express

WOWZA.  Tonight was going to be the end of the Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts and was going to end with a huge performance from Transe Express that required this huge crane: Mama thought about it for about two seconds, and it was decided that I would stay home and guard the house.  While…

So Very Civilized

Well, well, well… you just NEVER KNOW what you’re going to see when you’re out on a walkie… Still hot. But what is this? OH HELL YEAH, the troughs that hold water for the horses that cart around tourists also have a handy-dandy fountain for dogs.  Absolutely brilliant.  I’m liking this city more and more.…

Spring… What Spring?

It appears that we will be skipping the spring season here in Philadelphia – the sun has come roaring out and IT’S HOT So what’s a fuzzy boy to do?  Shorten the walkie a bit, have mama carry a bottle of water for me, and do some fine relaxation exercises in the park. I find…

Oh sweet marrow bone, how I have longed for you for so very long.  The mama-vegetarian is really quite bad at this buying meat thing,…

The Magnificent Magnolias

Purty, aren’t they? We’ve somehow never discovered this until now.  I think it’s because all of the magnolias are blooming, rather than just bare branches like everything has been for so long. Must investigate.  Magnolia Tribute Garden – lovely. Lovelier.  Just needed a little Airedale-ing up. Apparently George Washington was an aficionado of the magnolia. …

Greeting My Fans

I love to meet my fans – there are so many really lovely people out there who just need to get in a little Bogart worship when they’re in my town – and I UNDERSTAND. This is Susan – we tried to meet up at the Just Dogs Gourmet today but they were closed!  While…

New Times in Old City

Ice, Ice, Baby… (dum dum dum dum da da dum dum) I was first attracted to the leaking bags because, well, anything leaking on the street gets my attention.  But.. just bags of ice.  A bunch of humans seemed to be planning some sort of party to which I apparently wasn’t invited.  Silly fools, don’t…
