Snow Bum

Well, THAT was a bit more snow than was advertised!  Not the lake-effect wild snow drifts that some folks got, nor the torrential blizzard that other folks received, but I wasn’t really expecting much.  The fact that there was any snow on the ground was exciting, and I wasted no time in creating those funky…

Snow B’Aire

It is cold.  Very cold.  While we didn’t get the Snowmageddon that some other east coast cities got (I’m lookin’ straight at you Philly – not that sorry we moved right about now!), we did get around 8″ of snow.  Because I have feet like velcro snowshoes, I have to endure this indignity each year…

Go Steelers Go

As we live in Pittsburgh now, it seems that we have become a part of Steelers Nation.  Mama and I don’t watch much sports, nor get involved in any of the hoo-ha surrounding it, preferring to do our own sports of urban-park-hiking and stickwork (with some tennis ball action thrown in).  Yet today after 1.5…

Snowman, 2. Bogart, 3.

Oh, snowman.  You pathetic little frozen beast.  Not even much of a snowman – just three slightly smaller sized lumps smashed on top of one another.  Your arms aren’t exactly anatomically correct either, it would be difficult for you to accomplish much of anything with those oddly-placed appendages. You only have two.  I have three. …

Leaving My Mark

Twas a wee bit frosty out this morning, the first I have encountered here in Pittsburgh.  Yes, winter is coming and I am preparing by ignoring mama as she starts to pull my sweatshirts, coats, and the dreaded booties out of storage. During the morning’s stick-catching frolics, I laid down for a moment to catch…

Man of Adventure

Nothing can stop me when there are pine cones around. NOTHING. THROW ME A CONE! Um, thanks. CONE CONE CONE CONE CONE CONE CONE CONE Look.  I let you clean my toes.  I wore the potentially-humiliating Flashdance-style sweatshirt.  I’m wearing the damn booties.  GIVE ME MY CONE I do love this snow.  Even though there…

Snow Dale!

Is it cold where you are? It’s DAMN COLD here in Philadelphia.  So cold I have to wear the dreaded coat-and-booties combination. I’m not a big fan. But I do love the snow.  No matter what.  Even with the damn booties. Yup.  Everything works. Love, Bogart

Snow Beard

Not just everyone can sport such a fine snow beard. You have to start with a fine beard.  Years of growth.  Layers of previous goodness. Then just go for it.  Stick that snout into the first snow drift that you see.   Show off your fine profile…  And own it – own that snow beard. …

Snow Day – Surprise!

This morning, the view from my bedroom window looked like this – but mama still had to go to work.  Really?  Work?  On a day like this? So as she was putting on clothes other than her dog-walking ones, we got a phone call.  SNOW DAY!!! And I know exactly how to do a snow…
