Oh, Bam, the cure for any Monday feelings He don’t care what day of the week it is or what the clock says – he just knows it’s walk time! (with a side of bear hug/growly toy time) I felt like we should’ve had the Rocky theme playing for us today – as we wound […]

Bamboo, know his name
My boy Bamboo has long been the face of the Critter Chronicler but has remained a mystery so far. No longer! He’ll answer to Bam or Boo, Bamboo if he’s being naughty, Booby for silly times, Whoa Black Betty Bamba Lamb if the music strikes him, but never Bambi – that gets the fangs bared […]

Max, Louie, & Taylor, meat showers
On a recent chilly and drizzly morning in Kentucky, Max was a little reluctant to go outside – when you have such beautiful hair, you have to be wary of the damp (I should know). To get him out, I told the boys the story of The Great Meat Shower of 1876: on a clear […]
Rupert, avenger
I sent this report the day after the neighbor’s dog attacked Rupert during our walk (he was fine though it shook us both). My sweet baby Rupert was happy and snuffly and his usual self today, yesterday’s brush with calamity already forgotten. Me, I was on high alert, more jumpy than a Secret Service agent, […]

Harley, road warrior
(photo by Sarah H.) I love coming to see the coolest of cool cats, the spriest of old dudes, the cudliest of kitties, Harley. I can see him astride his namesake, bandana on his head, telling me to hop on, we’re going to Sturgis. What a road trip we’d have, doing catnip in seedy motels, […]
