Me and Jack

It pays to look up and around when you’re doing a little Sunday tour of the city.  Sometimes you don’t see anything interesting, and sometimes… This is my new pal Jack.  He’s an even bigger Airedale than me. We did some serious sniffing, checking each other out, you know, just to be sure that we…

Party at Chez Bogart

Saturday nights at my place are always a blast – me and mama have to come up with ways to amuse ourselves, and you know that means trouble. There’s singing… (she calls it howling along with passing ambulances, I call it singing damnit). And of course, EATING… I raided that crockpot for every last drop…

The Wild Cones of Philly

Holy crap. I didn’t think I was going to see these ever again.  Portland was full of them, even Los Angeles had it’s fair share, but so far here in Philadelphia my cone intake has been almost nil.  Mama didn’t see ’em, BUT I DID. Ah, the familiar crunch of the cone – that forest-y…

High on the Haunches

Not every attempt at a world-class stick jump is successful.  Nor even terribly graceful. Some, however, are both perfectly timed and elegantly done: And then there are the ones you need to take a step back for, to fully appreciate the beauty of (and get the hell out of the way of)… Love, Bogart

Me and My Shadow

There is something ominous in the streets of Philadelphia… all you have to do is look up – yep, it’s a trash bag in a tree. And that’s not the only thing that is worth looking up for – look!  It’s MY SHADOW It’s been awhile since it was lovely enough outside to catch me…

Love, Bogart

Oh hello there.  I’m just having a little rest at the feet of the mama, having claimed this pillow as my own.  You rang? Well, what is this?  My nose-button is heart-shaped! Oh that smells good.  When did you get that, mama?  Did you go to the Just Dogs Gourmet bakery WITHOUT ME?  The only…

I’m Too Sexy For…

This stick.  Too sexy for this stick.. Oh stick, stick stick stick. I’m too sexy for this wall… too sexy for this wall, that’s me I’m so tall. Must be true – I can reach it – sending you all lots of love and happy-sexy-times for Valentine’s Day (someone have some extra for me –…

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…

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…
