C is for Cookie

Everyone enjoys a snack.  These birds and pigeons are partaking of a large loaf (kind of lazy way to feed the pigeons, my human friends, just hurling a loaf of bread into a park).  And they were indeed enjoying it until I came along. Not very tasty.  But I know where to find something better.…

Stop the Pigeon…

In walking around Old City tonight, mama and I stumbled onto this scene: We walk past here all of the time, and it’s usually an empty lot.  The chair caught mama’s attention, but the pigeons caught mine. Ah, it’s art. You could have fooled me.  I was pretty intent on getting at some of those…

Happy Mama’s Day

Are you as happy to have your mama as I am happy to have mine? Yes, sometimes she makes me crazy, and we don’t go on nearly enough walkies for my taste, but SHE’S MINE, and I love her.  And we make a DAMN FINE TEAM. Love to all the mama’s out there – whether…

Tip Toe Stomp Through the Tulips

Who am I kidding?  Who is going to tip toe when you can have the pleasure of stomping through tulips? Yes, they’re quite pretty.  And fun to walk through. It’s a delicate game of navigation that humans cannot really understand.  The way we swerve, move our bodies on 4 legs gracefully yet completely clumsily at…

WOWZA.  Tonight was going to be the end of the Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts and was going to end with a huge performance from Transe Express that required this huge crane: Mama thought about it for about two seconds, and it was decided that I would stay home and guard the house.  While…

So Very Civilized

Well, well, well… you just NEVER KNOW what you’re going to see when you’re out on a walkie… Still hot. But what is this? OH HELL YEAH, the troughs that hold water for the horses that cart around tourists also have a handy-dandy fountain for dogs.  Absolutely brilliant.  I’m liking this city more and more.…

Spring… What Spring?

It appears that we will be skipping the spring season here in Philadelphia – the sun has come roaring out and IT’S HOT So what’s a fuzzy boy to do?  Shorten the walkie a bit, have mama carry a bottle of water for me, and do some fine relaxation exercises in the park. I find…

Art is Subjective

Ok… what is this supposed to be? Some sort of childs drawing – angry graduate, monster plate spinner, or grumpy frenchman? I have no freaking idea.  I’m going to have to plead “dog” in this case – as in, I’m a dog so I just cannot fathom what it could possibly be with my “he’s…

RIP Sekhmet

It is with great sadness that I tell you about the loss of my best cat friend Sekhmet. I’ve known her all of my life, she’s always been my greatest teacher and most patient head-lick-ee. Sekhmet woke up this morning with something very, very wrong with her back legs.  Mama and I tried our best…
