Church.
I’m not talking about the place of worship. No, friends, I’m talking about the scariest of all creatures. Specifically the cat in Stephen King’s Pet Semetary.
You may remember him as the cat that was run over by a truck in the story, buried and then summoned back to life. Once back among the ‘living’ he was anything but a normal, annoying cat.
There was something wrong, something sinister about him. It’s as if he were dead, but alive. Strange indeed, but then again he was a cat, so who could really tell?
Thank goodness this was just a story made up in the mind of Mr. King. Bringing a cat back to life; the man’s mind is truly sinister! Surely something like this couldn’t happen in the real world.
Or could it?

Dog Rescued From Can of Cat Food
You ever get so hungry you’d eat cat poop?
I know I have, but sometimes the litter box is empty forcing me to scrounge around the house looking for alternatives.
I’ll check under the couch cushions (the old man is a slob and lots of food gets stuck there, along with a lot of change), on top of short tables and even go so far as to check the bathroom floor.
Of course my personal favorite thing to do when I’m at starvation death’s door is to go the way of the garbage pail. I knock it over, spread around the goodies and feast on rotting, leftover human food. Mmmm, tasty. (more…)
Dog Painting Gone Bad
I’m an artist.
I dabble in an impressionist style, but rather than using vibrant colors, I enjoy the use of an earth tone pallete instead. You could say I favor the color brown above all.
Sometimes my canvas is filled with heavy, oil painting type strokes. Other times it’s like a light watercolor coating. Regardless, the end result is a masterpiece worthy of the Louvre.
Inexplicably, my mother is not a fan of my painting. The subject matter is highly entertaining ranging from stick figures, to bigger stick figures to paw prints. Doesn’t matter, she hates my work.
Duck Out of Water
I heart all baked goods.
During Christmas I always enjoy my mother’s demented, serial killing gingerbread men, her leaning tower of Pisa pound cake, and most of all the sugar cookies she buys from the Publix bakery.
Overall, I’d say my favorites are peanut butter cookies, liver flavored cupcakes and bone marrow muffins. MMM, mmm, good.
Of course my cullinary exploration must stop at the border of Chocolate City. Many a pup has ventured in, but not one has come out.
Cat Thinks It’s a Chick
I’m not sure what I want to become when I grow up.
Yeah I know time is running out, with me being 17 and all, but once you give up on your dream there’s not much left.
So here’s a partial list of what I’d like to become:
1) Firehouse dog (more…)
A Bright Idea
My mother is a candle freak.
No, I mean it. She lights candles in every room of the house, presumably for the smell. She must be heavily invested in Yankee Candle stock.
One thing’s for sure, she doesn’t light them to get my old man in a romantic mood. Heck, to him a night of romance is eating a rack of bbq ribs, watching Dumb and Dumber, and farting under the covers.
His repertoire lacks lit candles. You’ll find nothing flickering in the bedroom, or around the bath tub, or in between my bowl of water and kibble. I guess it’s just not in his DNA to create a loving mood.

Sunbear Squad Tip of the Week
URGENT HEAT ALERT: Those pet paw pads are not as tough as you think. The pads can burn off your dog's paws on hot pavement and cement. Slip your foot out of your sandal and test the pavement with your bare foot. If you can't walk on it comfortably, NEITHER CAN YOUR DOG OR CAT!
