Where's The Sunshine?

"What say we promenade through the yard, Mushi?" (Amazingly, this is the same little man that will do anything he can to stay out of the rain.)


Marcel Duchamp

Marcel loves the snow.

Heading out for his morning rituals, he plows through the snow — chest-deep (as well as everything else that hangs down below), head down, snorting loudly — on the trail of who knows what. Leaps and bounds, trying to get the jump on whatever he smells.

"Where's the sunshine? When is this weather going to end? Enough already!" people gripe — when we finally see them. But we won't be seeing them for a while. (It's only 4:30 — the crack of arse.) So, we enjoy the weather.

Marcel loves the snow. And, so do I.

I guess I'd say I've been on vacation. (Or, a total slacker.)

No, I'll say vacation.

La Vita Musicale Dolce di un Cane

The Sweet Musical Life of a dog (as Erik Satie).

Memorial Day

All dogs must have their day, and today, Marcel is having his.

With the excitement of being allowed to express his respect in honor (and memory) of his favorite musicians, he donned his favorite bowler and, proceeded to regale us with a few 0f his favorite musical numbers — which I will share with you — below.

Who's your best friend, man?
