The Strudwick File: Lunch Lessons, Part IV
This week’s Strudwick File comes courtesy of Megyn’s assistant Abby, who caught our four-legged friend and his normally well-behaved sister, Thunder, in the act of snatching and chowing down on their lunch. Megyn and Abby were supposed to each have their own chicken noodle soup, which means there were once two containers on the counter. …

The Strudwick File: Strud Reads Up, Part II
You have to go all the way back in The Strudwick File archives for the first edition of this tail – ahem, tale – when our four-legged friend engaged in some light reading (or was it chewing?) of William Dalrymple’s The Anarchy. Here is what that looked like in October 2022: Flash forward to earlier …
The Strudwick File: A Chilly Treat
The Strudwick File: A Chilly Treat
Connecticut was walloped by the blizzard that hit the northeast earlier this week. The snow and chilly temperatures would lead most to crave a hot cocoa or cider to warm up with by the fire. But Strudwick is never one to follow the crowd. Instead, our four-legged friend opted for a frostier treat when the …

The Strudwick File: Strud Goes Bananas, Part V
You’ve probably heard some version of the adage “once is happenstance; twice is coincidence; and three times is a trend.” Well, what happens when the third instance turns into a fourth and the fourth into a fifth? That is the question we find ourselves pondering this week as we’ve reached the – count ’em – …

The Strudwick File: Splatter Matter
If you know Strudwick, you know it is generally best to expect the worst. So, you can imagine Megyn’s concern when our four-legged friend came to greet her the other day with something splattered all over his cute little face. “I came home and his face is wet,” Megyn noted. “He’s been inside – why …

The Strudwick File: A Discovery of Imperfections
As we’ve chronicled, Strudwick’s mischievous behavior has mellowed some as he’s gotten older, but that doesn’t mean the shenanigans have stopped. We’ll let Megyn explain how life has been lately: “These days it’s not so much the enormous disaster with Strud, it’s more the discovery of imperfections around most corners. Like this morning, when I …

The Strudwick File: A Citrus Story, Part III
It’s taken four-plus years, but we seem to have finally figured out the one category of human food that does not do it for our pal Strudwick. It was around this time last year that Strud made it his mission to knock a bowl of lemons and limes off the kitchen counter. Once he accomplished …
The Strudwick File: Looks Can Be Deceiving, Part II
The Strudwick File: Looks Can Be Deceiving, Part II
Back in September, we published the most shocking Strudwick File of all time. Megyn shared that she felt like Strud had turned a corner after four years of non-stop naughtiness. Perhaps offended by the insinuation that he had been reformed, our four-legged friend promptly went on a torrid of streak of non-stop shenanigans that lasted …
The Strudwick File: The Backpack Bandit Strikes Again
The Strudwick File: The Backpack Bandit Strikes Again
Strudwick has a unique history with backpacks. There was the time Megyn and her family made it all the way to Greece before realizing their four-legged friend had damaged their knapsacks. See below: Before that, he raided the snacks in Thatcher and Yardley’s school bags in back-to-back banditry. The silver lining? He left the $20 …
The Strudwick File: Sandwich Snatcher Switcheroo
The Strudwick File: Sandwich Snatcher Switcheroo
We all know that Strudwick loves to sniff out snacks. Last month alone, there was the overnight hot cocoa raid, the evening ice cream break, and the morning Hi-Chew and Christmas cookie chow down. History would indicate he was due for a lunchtime indulgence, which, you will probably not be surprised to hear, he found …

The Strudwick File: Christmas Cookies, Candy, and More
Remember when Strud went to town on the hot cocoa mix and ice cream in the weeks leading up to Christmas? He still managed to find himself on Santa’s Nice List, but his holiday snack tour continued all the way to Christmas day. We’ll let Megyn tell you what happened: “So, our friend went hunting …
