Duncan’s got a drinking problem

Remember how Duncan likes to lie on the edge of the tub and watch me bathe? Well, the last couple of baths, he’s been dangling one paw in the water the whole time. And every now and then he dips his head down and laps up a whole bunch of steaming hot bath water like […]

What’s your pet’s name?

I was talking to a friend the other night and the subject of pet-naming came up, and how it has changed over the years. Have you noticed there are all kinds of Jacks and Mollys now, and relatively few Spots and Snoopys?

For one thing, my alarm clock is going to start making an obnoxious noise at 6:14 a.m. For another thing, my […]

Duncan the Dogcat

I promise I’m not turning into a cat blogger, but please indulge me while I blog about my cat one more time.

He’s such a dog, this cat! Not only does he follow me everywhere but he licks my face! And you know how dogs shake their whole body when they’re wet? Every couple of hours […]
