Ding Dong – BOGART CALLING!

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a beautiful day for a neighbor… would you be mine?  Could you be mine?  I’ve got some awfully cool things in my hood, like Independence Hall… see? Yeah, I don’t think it’s that fascinating either.  ONWARD! So mama saw this in the distance and diverted us from our…

Taking the Eukanuba 28-Day Challenge

The 40-pound bag arrived to much fanfare here at Chez Bogart.  Both Bogart and the cats were absolutely FASCINATED by the box.  Sniff sniff sniff, scratch scratch scratch.  I was just tired from dragging the large package up 3 flights of stairs, and they used my tired-ness to their advantage – while Bogart’s mighty front…

Help a Dale in Need

This is a heartbreaking story. In Oklahoma, a man surrendered 3 Airedales to rescue (I’m going to give him a teensy tiny bit of credit for at least surrendering and not dumping them into a shelter).  The two lovely females are both heavily pregnant, and the male is the daddy.  It appears that these dogs…

Tubby Tabby Time!

At Chez Bogart, we love us some tubby tabbies.  I have three – Kafka, the short-haired orange tiger, Willie, the long-haired ginger lion, and Aeon, the brown and white taberina. While we may say they’re fat – or big boned, or fluffy, or whatever – they basically don’t care about what we think.  That’s fine. …

Cold Night, Hot Soup

My newest fave soup… TURKEY.  Mama makes this for me with turkey, sweet potatoes, carrots, rutabaga, butternut squash, okra, and lentils.  YUM. Sekhmet is actually a quite helpful cat.  She keeps watch on the crockpot during the day, making sure that all is well.  She is the only cat I will allow to steal a…

Brrrrrrrr…

Awfully darned cold here in Philadelphia – the birds in this tree were there for almost my entire trek around Washington Square Park, I thought they might be frozen on! Gotta keep moving – Gotta keep moving – Gotta keep moving Yeah, see, that’s the ticket.  Nice and slow, see?  Hand over the stick and…

My Name in Lights

OH YEAH. At 5:26 AM Philly time (9:26 PM Aussie time) my name was emblazoned on the wall of the Australia Museum as part of  artist John Baldessari’s Your Name In Lights project.  I was able to wake mama up just in time, and it was well worth it. I have now had my 15…
