The Strudwick File: Some-bunny Was Naughty, Part III

The Strudwick File: Protein-palooza
Remember last fall when Megyn shared that Strudwick had started to change his ways? He was still prone to shenanigans, of course, but the incidents were fewer and farther between. If Megyn, Doug, and the kids followed a few house rules, they could generally avoid the chaos that had consumed their lives for the better …

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. …

St. Patrick’s Day is just days away. And while Megyn and her family have been traveling, Strudwick and Thunder have been getting into the holiday spirit and honoring her heritage from afar.

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
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 …
