A Dale Near a Manger

So today I was doing my normal morning walkie through Old City, when I SMELLED SOMETHING. Mama wasn’t sure why I decided to go in a new direction, and quite honestly, neither was I. But I knew that I had to get to the bottom of that smell. So we wandered further up Race Street,…

First Friday Beads

First Friday is always fun – except for when the streets are so hot you can fry an egg on them.  Today is really SO DAMN HOT with a mixture of heat and humidity, I had to do repeat visits to my favorite doggie stores just to soak up a little aire-conditioning. But I digress. …

Iron Butterfly

Look at that… up in the sky… it’s a bird, it’s a plane, no… It’s butterflies made out of old soda cans. Pretty darned cool, eh?  Saw them on our way to watch the Pride Parade today.  Happy Pride Month everyone – Lots of rainbow lovin’ all around! Love, Bogart

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.…

New Times in Old City

Ice, Ice, Baby… (dum dum dum dum da da dum dum) I was first attracted to the leaking bags because, well, anything leaking on the street gets my attention.  But.. just bags of ice.  A bunch of humans seemed to be planning some sort of party to which I apparently wasn’t invited.  Silly fools, don’t…

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…
