Maltese March Madness
It’s been a strange year weather-wise at the Rancho. Lots of rain and colder than normal temperatures have encouraged Max and I to stay indoors far more than usual. Little […]
And So It Begins
Max said hello to 2019 with a small, breathy and somewhat fishy “awoo” and desperate protestations against trying out one of his Christmas presents, a new soapless shampoo with the […]

Intruder
What is this orange thing? Can I eat it? No? Well, then, maybe I’ll just attack it.
