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

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.…

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?  You know that I won’t let you shave me, so why would you think that this heat would be a good idea?  The Pacific Northwest…

Mooooooooooooooooooo

I’m a city dog.  I’ve wandered through the concrete jungles of Los Angeles, Portland, New York, and Philadelphia.  While I have seen cows from the window of a moving car, I don’t get the chance to see them up close and personal.  Until today.  And I do NOT trust them. It does appear that these…

Smile Honey

So these just started popping up around town. At first I was unsure. What does it say? What does it mean? And then I thought – aha, it must be an urban art project of some sort.  We’ve seen a bunch of this type of thing here in Philadelphia. But damn, it is a bit…

Ruffing It

Yes, I know that I have mentioned that it is hot outside. I may have even alluded to a bit of humidity. But really, IT IS TOO DAMN HOT OUTSIDE here in Philadelphia. Drastic times call for drastic measures. Today it meant breaking out the Ruffwear Cooling Vest that mama bought for me back when…
