January 2007 – To Aire is Divine

It’s Raining Burgers

Harumph… Shower Day. It was dark, gloomy, and relatively cold here in Los Angeles and for some crazy reason dad got it into his head that it would be a good day to bathe me (Again!!! It wasn’t THAT long ago that I had my last bath!!! And I’m not even THAT stinky!!!). They kind…

RIP Barbaro

Today Barbaro, that King of the Kentucky Derby, had to be euthanized after the complications got to be too much from his injury at last year’s Preakness.Â Â Now I don’t really follow horse racing but Barbaro really touched me… he was a horse with heart (not to mention, he was FAST). Rest easy, big fella.…

The Afternoon Evildoer

Mom took a break from working to take me and dad out for a sandwich – at the Lovebirds Cafe in Pasadena (oh, like always) – and when we sat down at our table all of a sudden there was a huge noise that I felt obligated to investigate. I strained at my leash to…

Pigeon Poop

This morning during my walk with dad around Echo Park lake, a pigeon pooped on me.Â I don’t know if it was aiming for me (I can’t recall doing anything bad to this particular pigeon in the past) or it was just a happy accident for the pigeon to actually make a direct hit… but…

Drivin’ Through

Today we were going to bring the Bogie Beetle in for service.Â Apparently the brakes need to be replaced (which from what I understand, is kind of important) so that means we’re gonna drive over there and then I’m gonna have to walk home.Â Leaving the Bogie Beetle behind in the capable hands of Walter…

The Sunday Adventures

Sunday seems to be a day of relative happiness for the humans – I don’t recall a lot of chores being done, and most of the places we go are pretty fun. At first I thought we wouldn’t be doing too much (because mom slept until 10:30 – well, after taking me out for my…

Shower Prison Blues

Ok, so I’m not the biggest fan of getting bathed.Â Whether it’s indoors in the relative warmth of the shower stall with dad or outside being blasted with the hose, I just don’t get it.Â The ladies seem to love me in all of my funkiness, yet the humans are not so pleased.Â I mean,…

Because it’s MY sofa

This morning mom was clearing off the sofa (actually a daybed from IKEA) because she wanted to re-fluff all of the pillows.Â She keeps a LOT of pillows there, which both the kitties and I enjoy. I wasn’t sure exactly what she was planning, so the minute all of the pillows were off I leapt…

Sunday in the Yard with Mareike

I was afraid that today was going to be another one of those lazy Sundays… you know the kind, where the humans become like beached whales on the couch, complain about how cold it is outside, and sit and eat a lot of soup. How wrong I was! Mom shuffled me into the car without…

Bogart and Bogart

Today is the 50th anniversary of the death of Humphrey Bogart. I can see the resemblance… and tell why mom and dad named me after him.Â We’re both pretty debonair, both popular with the ladies, and both still real “men’s men”. Makes sense to me! Love, Bogart H. Devil
