Here’s another story with our snore-factory Mercury playing the lead. It’s a story from the days when Mercury was little. How she was “little” and how “little” she was is still a moot point. She doesn’t have a lot of proofs to support her assertion. Photographs are 2-dimensional evidence that wouldn’t hold in any canine [...]

The story of the dove that raised her two chicks alone…of the three-legged monkey…of the one-legged pigeon…these stories make me wonder if we should ever allow anything to pull us down!
I didn’t see this one-legged pigeon. I don’t know if I would’ve known the difference. My hindbrain instincts would’ve kicked in and I would’ve given [...]

I am back. Did you take up my case with Ms. Oorvi (Elizabeth) Zinar? Look at her now…with that black speck on her nose and the collar around her neck…she doesn’t even look like a [...]

Today I begin a three-part series on a train journey.
Before you assume that I was the lucky pup who sat in a beautiful train and visited beautiful places, I would like to set the record straight! It’s not I, the pup with the beautiful luxurious tail and an IQ of 170; but Mercury, the tailless, [...]

Read Part I of the story here…
Gradually Mr. Mouse’s routine changed. He’d come into the kitchen, select his choicest food, eat, relax, then eat some more, hum a nice little song, take a nap, and then eat some more again! Until one night, when the overworked human in the house decided that she needed some [...]

It was a formal meeting and attendance was mandatory for all squirrels. True to their squirrelly selves they scurried around, looking for nuggets even on their way to this very important meeting! Their leader, the Squirrel General shifted his weight from one foot to another; and made a disapproving sound. “It is this irresponsible attitude, [...]
