The Next Generation

[Athena] *nose-nudges blog* Hey, what’s this? Can we play here, ya think? [Apollo] *sniffs around* Smells kinda musty. What is that? Tastes moldy. I’m gonna eat it. [Athena] Hey, can I have…never mind – I’ll just clean up these crumbs over here. This couch smells like Murphy. I liked him. We were best buddies, but he left one day and didn’t come back. J said he died. I was sad. And lonely when J and B had to go to…

All We Want For Christmas…

All We Want For Christmas…

…is Spring! Brr! Murphy sez: I’m not a cold-weather dog. No way, no how. So you can imagine my dismay for the past two weeks when it’s been too cold to walk, or even hang out in the backyard barking at squirrels. It was okay for a night or two, but this is getting ridiculous. Mica sez: I’ll tell you what’s ridiculous. Ridiculous is those stupid fleece booties J makes us wear when it gets below about 5 degrees (f)….

Sunday Rundown

Sunday Rundown

Mica sez: I’m not sure why we’re dictating this post now, Murph. I mean, we haven’t had dinner yet. And after the day we’ve had, I’m starving. Can’t we do this later? Murphy sez: Well, we could, but we did promise to have J put a post up on Sunday, and we’ve been working her pretty hard today. I mean, from the time J got up to feed us (late, I should mention), we’ve been up and at ‘em. That’s…

Weekend Update(s)

Weekend Update(s)

Murphy sez: Wow – has it really been a whole month since J posted anything for us? Geez. We really should figure out a good punishment for her. I mean, we have important stuff to say, don’t we, Mica? And a lot has happened since then…what with those holiday-things, and a bunch of in and out and in and out and in and — Mica sez: Yeah, yeah. I mean, I know she’s been kinda busy doing human stuff, but…

A Fly-By “Hi”

A Fly-By “Hi”

Murphy sez: I think you all know by now that J is an unreliable translator. She gets confused sometimes, and we were too last week, on account of her being home an extra day for something she called a “fed-er-al hol-i-day”. I think it addled her brain a bit, but it’s okay. We got extra bully sticks, so no one’s complaining, right Mica? Mica sez: Nope. Well, not too much, anyways. I mean, the couch is always mine during weekdays,…

Coolin’ Down

Coolin’ Down

Mica sez: I noticed you’ve been more excited about walkin’ lately, Murph. What gives? Murphy sez: It’s not 9 billion degrees out, for one thing. I like walkin’ when it’s cool. We can go fast, and smell lots of stuff, and not fall over half-ded when we get home. It’s awesome! Mica sez: It is more comfy out, for sure. Of course we have to walk after dark now, which is okay until the lights in our leashes both run…

Go Away, Rain!

Go Away, Rain!

Mica sez: Rain sucks. I mean, how are we supposed to go out in the yard, much less go for a walk in this weather? Go away, rain. Bring back the sun! Murphy sez: Yeah – what he said! Wet feet are no fun, and I need my sun, dang it. Warm, sunny sunshine to nap in. This cold cloudy stuff is for the birds. Or not even for the birds. For no one. No one likes this! Mica sez:…

Itchy Scratchy

Itchy Scratchy

Mica sez: So Murph – I hear you’re gonna have to start wearing your cone at night too for awhile. J sure seemed upset this morning when she saw what you did to your scabs… Murphy sez: I know, I know. I was doing pretty good, leaving my leg alone not just at night, but early mornings. Especially after J started putting the yarn leggings over the top of my normal ones. I don’t like how the yarn feels on…

Recipe: Sweet Veggie Crisps

Night Walkin’ & Yummy Stuff

Night Walkin’ & Yummy Stuff

Murphy sez: Man, oh man. What are we gonna do about J, Mica? I mean, skipping one week’s blog post is one thing, but two? That’s a serious in-frack-shun. I think we should come up with a suitable punishment. Like she has to give us more treats or something. It’s not like we can type our stories ourselves… Mica sez: Humans are weird, Murph. Always doing all these things that they *think* are important, but really, nothing’s as important as…
