Christmas 2010 How much trouble can six Christmas guests get into? Well, let’s see. When I took the first salvo downstairs for relief at 5:30 am, Willow upstairs helped herself to a bully stick at the back of my desk. If it wasn’t guilt, what was it that made her swallow it whole? . . [...]

Korean Turkey
Monday, November 29th, 2010This year, we decided to take pity on the turkeys and try something different. So for this Thanksgiving, we had May. Unfortunately, she wasn’t as tasty as we had hoped. Rather dry and bland even with gravy. Next year, we’re going back to Butterball. . /by Zooey

Thanksgiving Morning, NYC, 7:00-9:00
Thursday, November 25th, 20109:00. The Macy’s parade is getting in gear 30 blocks south, and we’re winding up our morning walk in Central Park. We are eight dogs and two humans. This is us. We’ve been out more than two hours, throwing ourselves around piles of fragrant dead leaves, chasing balls and one another. This is us.
