Super Snuggler

So… I have mentioned that it’s COLD here in Portland.  It’s really, really, really cold.  Both mama and I are feeling it.  How to get by?  EXTRA SNUGGLE TIME Go ahead, brush your teeth, do whatever you have to do.  I can wait. Hey, whatcha doin’ in there?  The bed is nice and warm and…

The Feline Purrsuasion

As you know, I share my abode with several felines.  This is Sekhmet. I think she enjoys my company the most – well, at least I don’t see her claws that often.  Sekhmet is 13 years old, and is the only cat my mama has that came with her from NYC to the west coast. …

Arctic Blast

Brrrrrr!  It’s COLD here in Portland!!!  We’re having what the television called an “arctic blast” and I can certainly attest to it’s blast-i-ness.  The wind ruffles my fuzz and whips me right up the butt.  Not pleased.  Today was especially cold, so mama felt like she had to protect my delicate Dale-ness… perhaps when your…

RIP Bogcedes

Aw, shucks Bogcedes.  We’ve had a LOT of good times together. I was pretty sad that mama said we’d have to sell the Bogcedes.  It was dad’s car, and I always felt safe either riding in the navigator’s seat or in the back as the CEO.  Always felt safe with dad at the wheel, and…

Ladybug Ladybug

A package arrived… and I wasn’t expecting a package.  It’s from Maggie and Mitch! Aw, this was definitely for mama – it made her cry and she wouldn’t let me eat it so it must be – chock full of ladybugs! And inside… one beautiful ladybug that reminds her of Klaus.  She loves it, loves…

In the Key of… Damnit!

Mama’s morning didn’t start out that well.  Morning walkie?  Fine.  Weather?  Slightly raining, but only on her head so that wasn’t so bad.  We arrived back at our apartment.  Mama got ready to go to the work place that I just cannot understand, handed me a treat and walked out. Then she put her key…

Tears in Rain

Mama has been sad.  I’ve been working overtime to do everything I can to make her smile, but some days she’s just too tough a customer.   Luckily it has been raining a lot lately, so if she cries out in public it could easily look like she’s just getting rained on rather than that her…

Some Enchanted Evening

When mama gets home from work, the first thing I do is smother her in kisses (she needs ’em!).   This also gently reminds her that it’s time for my evening walkie and poop-a-thon.  It’s dark out there at night now, so I have to protect mama on our walks more so than usual.  That also…

Making Mama Smile

I have spent this past week taking care of mama.  She’s been unhappy.  Today is 8 months since dad has been gone, and well, she’s just had a crappy week all around.  So today I assumed my position in back seat (my “CEO spot”) and insisted that we go out to have some fun. Can…
