Workin’ For a Livin’

Tonight mama and I had to go to work. She had to drop something off at her office, and well, I had to help. Once I arrived, I got right to work. Mama worked above desk, I worked below. Within mere minutes, I had found what I was looking for.Â Fully in the interest of…

My Feline Overlord

Today we got new chairs. They’re old, but they’re pretty cool. I anticipated that Kafka would spend more time on them than I would, but didn’t realize that he was already plotting world domination with his laser eyes from one of them. Note the worried look on my face. I am concerned. Love, Bogart

Run Wild and Free, Bella

There is a new Airedale-shaped star in the sky. Beautiful Bella has passed away. While I am sad whenever any Airedale leaves us, this one is particularly poignant. Bella is MY MOM. Pretty girl, you will be so missed by your family, and even though we have not seen each other since I was a…

Spidey-Crow

Nothing says “autumn” like the Spiderman Scarecrow that shows up every year here in Center City. Each year, someone goes to all of the trouble to put this scarecrow up – his wardrobe changes from year to year, but the Spiderman head is a staple. Spidey is a little worse for wear this time around.…

The Sorta-culturist

Today I got lessons from the one-and-only master of the backyard garden, Grandpa! Nobody, and I mean nobody, grows vegetables and herbs as well as he does. Oh I know that this garden may not look fancy, but what comes out of it is amazing, and I just had to see for myself exactly how…

I’m Gonna Party… Like It’s My Birthday…

Because it is! I turned 8 today, which is cause for celebration!Â I’m a birthday-loving boy, and mama knows just how I like to be spoiled on my big day. Cookies, of course.Â Some sort of special Birthday cookie is always in order.Â I like these from the Just Dogs Bakery here in Philadelphia.Â Picked…

New, Tasty Rugs

Earlier this week, we had a poop problem. For unclear reasons, I was experiencing a prolific poop explosion and the kitties followed suit. Mama said it was unpleasant, but really, who was it most unpleasant for? Her (who only had to clean it up), the kitties (who did their business in the tub), or me,…

Fuzzy Bum

This is what I do each morning after the 5AM walkie. Sit on my stoop, butt on one step, feet on another, and survey my territory. Questionable characters, funky smells, and all. Mama thinks it’s funny – I don’t see what all the fuss is about. Love, Bogart

Tell Me a Story…

About the time before the humidity came… And remind me again exactly WHY we moved to a place where the heat and humidity make it like living in a sauna?Â You know that I won’t let you shave me, so why would you think that this heat would be a good idea?Â The Pacific Northwest…

First Friday Beads

First Friday is always fun – except for when the streets are so hot you can fry an egg on them.Â Today is really SO DAMN HOT with a mixture of heat and humidity, I had to do repeat visits to my favorite doggie stores just to soak up a little aire-conditioning. But I digress.Â …
