I’d love to get a bit of snow! Day after day of rain and grey sky is getting me down. Just four inches or so–I’m not greedy. We also get a nice show from the squirrels whenever it snows.

Cat Walks Dog
Have you ever hired someone to walk your dog? Here’s a dog owner who doesn’t have to do that: he’s got a cat who does it for him.
(CNN admits this video is “Not News.” A tiny bit of honesty creeps in.)
Daffy Dogs
Dogs (and cats) have surplus brain power. More than they need. The thing that beats me is, how do they use it? What’s going on up there in doggy’s head? What looks goofy to us might not be so goofy… if only we understood it.
‘Don’t Mess With My Cat’
Dog appoints himself the cat’s guardian–or vice versa–isn’t domestication wonderful? I mean, no way this happens in nature, uh-uh, forget about it. Will we ever figure out how to domesticate human beings?
Puppy’s First Christmas
I did have pet crickets whoop it up on New Year’s, some long time ago; but I never had a puppy with a Christmas tree. Our cats used to chase each other in and out of the tree, but they grew out of it.
Dogs & Toddlers
I don’t understand, now, why I was afraid of dogs when I was little. We didn’t have one. Everybody else on our street did. Eventually I made friends with Brownie, who lived next door and had the run of the neighborhood.
(Story stops here: sorry, falling asleep as I type.)
Creative Sleeping
Do you ever fall asleep in a funny position? It’s said that Christopher Marlowe used to sleep hanging upside-down from monkey bars. That beats anything these cats can do, although I had to resort to fiction to get it.
Cats in Dog-Beds
Domestication gave cats the opportunity to persecute dogs. The best way to do this is to occupy the bed and then make like you can’t see or hear the dog’s frustrated objections. It drives them crazy.
Laundry Can Be Fun
Here’s a puppy who knows what laundry’s for–chewing on it and trying to yank it out of the basket. I’m not quite sure what kind of garment he’s gotten hold of. What would you chew on, if you were a dog?
The Bunny Room
What beautiful interiors! And nobody there but these two bunnies. Only at the end of the video do we find a human servant putting down a bowl of food on the spotless, immaculate rug. I had no idea that bunnies lived like this.
