Oh, lordy, lordy, mama is at it again! But I think it’s because I’m not with her that she oohs and aahs over the kitties and doggies she finds on her walks. In fact, I’m pretty sure that’s it. But do they have to be so cute? This is little miss via Appia–a kitty who lives out on the ancient Roman road where mama and papa took...

Well, not a broad, actually, but a female feline. Just wanted to make a funny, haha. I WROTE those people and I certainly expect a missive back before they return! Here is my letter: Bonjour Mama et Papa I’m sorry I missed your call to me on Sunday – I was probably having my siesta. This is me watching a nature programme on tv – lots of...

Well, there are some really funny anthros out there on the streets of Roma. This guy, for example, is standing STILL, but what a great idea to dress like that with his tie flying. HILARIOUS, mama! Oh, no, not again. Mama’s in her Cute Doggy Stage and heaven knows when she’ll be out of it. Cute, I guess, if you like large sausages! As...

You think I’m going to do this ALONE? Get me those photos, mama! Well, today’s post on It’s Noodle is really a good one, I have to say, so I’m just mentioning it even though maybe it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Still, we learn from everyone’s view, and Noodle’s thoughts today are very thought-provoking. So...

Well, I guess I’m a little blue, too. Sort of. Maybe I’m just relaxing. Meanwhile, mama combs the streets (funny way to say look around, no? I get combed, but a street?) for interesting sites in the world’s most beautiful city. This guy decided to just open up his office on a Vespa with his portable! Mama was sneaking his photo so...

Well, as you can see, I am having a grand old time without THEM. However, they do send me street scenes and market pics and such, just to make me feel a little bad that I am not there having an espresso and visiting the kitties at Largo Argentina. Bonne chance. OH, NO, not again. Mama’s favourite doggy in campo de’ fiori. I think mama needed...

Oh, mama, remember when we were holding paws just a few short days ago? WELL, WE AIN’T DOIN’ IT NOW, DARN IT. But, I do hold paws with just about anyone who’ll give me the time, so THERE! I understand that the weather is perfect, the lovely streets of Roma are filled with site-seers and that the Pantheon and Colosseum and the Forum are...

Ha ha ha, I am HERE and YOU aren’t. Garden, kibble, snuggles(!) and for a change, peace and quiet plus doing anything I wish! Mama wrote that they are stuck in a port so may get in very, very late and so can’t call me or write or anything until tomorrow. HAH. But it’s beauitiful on the sea, mama says, especially since there was nothing...

What is that? Just kidding, it’s a suitcase, duh. See how cool I am about all of this. I could care LESS that there is a suitcase on papa’s side of the bed where is attempting to pack light but failing miserably. Mama failed a few minutes ago. Why can’t these people understand that you wear the SAME thing all the time, just as you do...

NO, NO, I DO NOT WANT TO GO ON THAT GIANT WOO-WOO MONSTER! Hey, you guys, just pack your bags and beat it, okay? I have Mya to write to me and my very own Snuggler Sitter and please do NOT worry about me because this will be a good test of character for all three of us. Meanwhile, I’ll lounge and chase those birdies with the fan belt problems and...

You’re going WHERE? WHEN? Haha, just kidding, I’m up on everything and I’m planning to have a few houseguests in your absence. No, no not many, maybe a couple of hundred… Mama, you are NOT going to be able to shut that thing! Okay, okay, I’ll get out of it… Oh, boy, from the itinerary published in the NYT of T’s...

Well, they leave tomorrow–I’ll just play possum and pretend I don’t care. But here is a lesson for mama today. THEY are about to bug out for a visit to those little anthros who have FINALLY learned not to pull my tail (bonne chance under the bed, haha) and boy, are those little devils going to be sad when they find out I am NOT with mama...

That’s not snow outside but it feels like it! Brrrr…(whatever that means). A fake winter. Oh, boy, it is freezing here and the wind is up and winter has returned in full regalia! Whatever that is. Oh, and the heating system doesn’t function but I’ve sent out a posse for the repair guy so maybe he’ll show this time. Aside from...

Hey, okay, it’s repetition, but sometimes mama gets carried away with my patty paws and just wants me to pose for pics of them so here they are. I love putting my paws up and relaxing when I’m in a meditative mode, and believe me, nowadays one really needs to meditate! Or be mindful. Or whatever. Here’s a puzzle: try to figure out what...

Well, if I lose readers today, so be it. Mama’s world is that of civility, care for one’s fellow anthro, and conscience. Above all, ethics and conscience. Where on earth did our country go wrong? Education? Parenting? An awareness of the Golden Rule, do unto others as you would have them do unto you? Remember that? Instead, we appear to...

Well, I think that’s what I enjoy most, if we are talking about tender loving care. But maybe those letters stand for, Tough Luck, Comrades! It’s not a question of ME not having YOU for a time. It’s a question of YOU not being able to snuggle ME! Sigh. Mama has to go to the market an the expo so she can’t help me with some...

The hunter, with infinite patience, regards her prey, unmoving, quiet as…well…a mouse, steadfastly planning intricate strategies with which to carry out the act of attack! The GW & B hunger (did I say that? I meant ‘hunter’) stays still as a glassy lake, still as early morning, still as only a GW & B hunter can stay still. ...

Well, mama is in a BIG dilemma over me and arguing with herself all day long about whether to travel with me to see the little grand anthros, thus causing me major trauma for 48 hours on one end (going) and the same thing on the other end (returning), plus time in a place with NO garden (no pot to you know what in, so to speak) to scratch in, no flowers to...

DO NOT TRY TO PLACATE ME! We were simply NOT WANTED! Well, THEY certainly had a good old time, while WE (Mya and I) were sitting at home without being able to hoover up crumbs (Mya knows the command, HOOVER!) and I miss the salmon canapés. We shall get even but we don’t know when. THEY will have to watch their BACKS. Meanwhile, here’s a sort...

NO, NO don’t make me hang another picture. I’m worn OUT! Well, here are few of what went on in that hanging in that expo, and then I’m bowing out to sit on mama’s head and keep her company. This was a LONG day for mama and papa–truck rental, loading, unloading, hanging, labelling, rehanging, but a nice little lunch with the...
