The Strudwick File: Strud’s Summer Saga, Part II
The Strudwick File: Strud’s Summer Saga, Part II
As Megyn shared last week, Strudwick’s first few weeks at the Jersey shore this summer have been eventful to say the least. So far, he has discovered that turtles and ducks live in the backyard of their rental property and he took an adventurous dip in the nearby bay. Below, we are picking up the …

The Strudwick File: Strud’s Summer Saga, Part I
Welcome to the Jersey shore, Strudwick. You’ve made quite an impression. Technically this is not Strud’s first time in New Jersey. He spent his first few months of puppyhood with us in our home here. It took a couple of summers, but he (mostly) got used to it. This summer, we are in a rental …

The Strudwick File: Duck, Duck, Turtle
Megyn and her family are at the beach for the summer, and it appears as though the ever-rambunctious Strudwick is already trying to make the most of the seasonal digs. There is different wildlife for Strud to engage with at the shore than there is in Connecticut, which has led to some – shall we …

The Strudwick File: Stud Is All Smiles
Strudwick is ready for his close up! Megyn’s kids came home from the dentist recently with the traditional goodie bags filled with toothbrushes, floss, travel-sized toothpaste, etc. Strud apparently felt left out on the dental front and decided to get in on the action. As you can see from the remnants above, Strudwick wasted no …

The Strudwick File: All Dressed Up
Megyn and her family are on vacation, which means Strudwick and his sister Thunder are at home with their dog sitter (inquiring minds should note the pups are not being watched by Doug’s sister, who is no doubt still recovering after last month’s dog sitting drama). As you may recall from some of Megyn’s previous …
Pride Month Celebrations Have Now Made Their Way into… Megyn’s Dog’s Daycare?!
Pride Month Celebrations Have Now Made Their Way into… Megyn’s Dog’s Daycare?!
At this point we probably don’t need to tell you that June is Pride Month. Walk into any store or open any marketing email, and you will be inundated with rainbow-colored merchandise and virtue signaling allegedly in support of the LGBTQ+ community. In case you needed confirmation that Pride festivities have taken over every corner …

The Strudwick File: Strud Is Grill-ty
Memorial Day weekend has come to be known as the unofficial start of summer, which means grilling season is officially upon us.

The Strudwick File: Strud Makes His Mark
Our dear Strudwick was clearly looking to channel his creativity this week because Megyn went into her living room to find he had raided her art supplies. “What did these markers ever do to Strud,” she joked. Megyn caught our budding artist in the act, which clearly made him a little self-conscious because next thing …
The Strudwick File: Thunder Stands Guard
The Strudwick File: Thunder Stands Guard
You know that we generally allow Strud and his sister Thunder on the kitchen table even though we shouldn’t. Well, yesterday it proved to serve a purpose. Thunder stood up on the table and started barking and barking, which she never does. Doug went over to the window to see what she was upset about …

The Strudwick File: Dog Sitting Drama
Doug’s sister Diane and her fiancé Brad came to watch the kids and dogs over the weekend because we were traveling for a friend’s fiftieth birthday (happy birthday, Meredith!). On Saturday morning, Diane called us in a panic because Strudwick had managed to get Thatcher’s jacket – with a pack of gum inside – out …

The Strudwick File: Meet Chef Strud, Part II
After a brief foray into plumbing last week, Strudwick appears to have rediscovered one of his favorite hobbies — cooking. In what we can only assume was a well-meaning effort to speed up Megyn and her family’s morning routine, Strud took it upon himself to prepare breakfast. On the menu? Cereal and oatmeal. Unfortunately, things …
The Strudwick File: Strud’s Pipe Dream?
The Strudwick File: Strud’s Pipe Dream?
Is Strudwick making a play for a new career? We know Strud has tried his hand at being a chef, a dancer, a musician, and a gardener (to name a few). And now it looks like he has taken an interest in… plumbing. Earlier this week, Megyn and Doug needed to call in a plumber …
