The Strudwick File: Lunch Lessons, Part II

The Strudwick File: Lunch Lessons, Part II
If you’ve been a subscriber since the first edition of American News Minute back in September, you might recall that the inaugural Strudwick File was born out of Strud sniffing out Megyn’s chicken lunch and eating all but the asparagus. Below is a trip down memory lane for a look at the evidence: Well, six …
The Strudwick File: Adventures at the Vet

The Strudwick File: Adventures at the Vet
Somehow The Strudwick Files are blessed. Megyn? Not so much… As you know, Strud has been on medication to treat a parasite that was thought to be the cause of his non-stop diarrhea. The GI issues have continued post-parasite meds though, so the vet wanted to see him for a follow up on Monday. Since …
The Strudwick File: Another Banner Week for Strud

The Strudwick File: Another Banner Week for Strud
Megyn has a jam-packed Strudwick update – that includes a cameo from his sister Thunder – for you this week, so settle in: 1. Strud got out of the kitchen/family room area AGAIN (it’s hard to make sure the doors are always closed when you have three kids and their friends are constantly over). He …
The Strudwick File: Pizza Gate, Part II

The Strudwick File: Pizza Gate, Part II
If you are a regular reader of The Strudwick File, this picture needs no explanation. You are likely thinking, he did it again?? The answer is yes, but we’ll have Megyn explain how it happened: I walked out of the studio (on the third floor) after the show and heard the jingle of Strudwick’s collar. …
The Strudwick File: Snack Stealer

The Strudwick File: Snack Stealer
Strud strikes again! For the second week in a row, Thatcher was the victim of a hungry, discourteous Strudwick. He snatched Thatcher’s pretzel right out of his hand as he passed by in the kitchen. Half of the pretzel remained (above), but Thatcher wisely opted for a fresh one rather than the piece covered in …
The Strudwick File: But Rye?

The Strudwick File: But Rye?
Unfortunately, Strud has learned how to open the sliding door to the pantry, which Megyn describes as a “before-and-after moment” in her life with him. Thankfully, the damage was kept to a minimum (the rye bread was the only casualty) – for now – because he did it with Doug in the room. Keep up …
The Strudwick File: Strud Cuts a Rug, Part I

The Strudwick File: Strud Cuts a Rug, Part I
Last year, Strudwick managed to help himself to a box of cherry Jello that was on the kitchen counter. The result was what looked like a murder scene on the neighboring room’s rug. Megyn tried and tried but couldn’t get any portion of this stain out: This was after he had already stained the rug …
The Strudwick File: Strud 1, Toy 0

The Strudwick File: Strud 1, Toy 0
After keeping us on all our toes with his mellow moment last week, Strud is back at it. Here is what his newest toy looked like when Megyn bought it: For the uninitiated, you put a treat in the middle and the toy randomly dispenses it through any of the six holes as it rolls …
The Strudwick File: The Most Shocking Strud Moment Yet

The Strudwick File: The Most Shocking Strud Moment Yet
As Megyn teased on her show earlier this week, we might have the most shocking Strudwick File yet. What is Strud up to this time? Absolutely nothing… beyond looking adorable during a nap. Megyn’s take: “He has his moments.” Keep up to date on Strudwick’s latest shenanigans by subscribing to the American News Minute, Megyn’s …
The Strudwick File: ‘Should’ve Prayed Harder’

The Strudwick File: ‘Should’ve Prayed Harder’
This is the so-called ‘safe area’ of the house where Megyn keeps Strudwick and his sister Thunder while she and her family are at church. This week, it didn’t prove to be safe from Strud’s high jinks. As Megyn put it, she “should’ve prayed harder.” Keep up to date on Strudwick’s latest shenanigans by subscribing …
The Strudwick File: Halloween Haunts

The Strudwick File: Halloween Haunts
Before trick-or-treating got underway, Strudwick and his sister Thunder were put in what Megyn described as their “Halloween prison” (below) – a seemingly inescapable formation of gates, crates, and chairs. But you didn’t think Strud could make it through the devilish day without a bit of mischief did you? Alas, he figured out a way …
The Strudwick File: Strud Reads Up

The Strudwick File: Strud Reads Up
You may have seen the video Megyn posted on Instagram earlier this week of Strudwick being – wait for it – a good boy chewing a bone in his bed. But apparently he had some other chewing to do. His latest casualty? The Anarchy by William Dalrymple. No word yet on how it compares to …
