This is Maggie, and she’s sensitive. Not sensitive in that she needs a comforting pet when a loud truck zooms by or that she loves hugs. Those are both true, but Maggie is an ESP (extrasensory pupper). She sees dead people. Maybe you have your own ESP. When Maggie barks in the middle of the […]

Rudy, tag champ
This is Rudy, and he loves to play tag. He’s got that fantastic, Lemmy-esque head of hair that catches the wind while he shreds the grass and mulch and porch beneath his feet, and you can almost hear him wailing Ace of Spades while sister Mattie’s the perfect accompaniment, jammin on drums as she goes […]

Aubrey, fresh from the dryer

Sydney, inamorata
This is Sydney (in her tanuki suit), and oh how winter is an affront to good hair! These past months when I’ve had to bundle her against rain and cold, she’s been bursting to be free, to shed her clothes and throw her paws in the air! How happy she’ll be to let her hair […]

Maxine, eater of the sun
In ancient times, the Muskogean people sought to appease Metztli who was responsible for swallowing the sun each day and expelling it again the next morning. After a time, Metztli became arrogant and demanded richer offerings, holding the sun in her belly until her orders were met. Not a people to be intimidated, the Muskogeans […]
