Self-portrait by Joe the Cat
Joe the Cat takes a moment for himself
while stalking rats in his front garden.
Shouldn't he be wearing a Ratstalker, Holmes?

Woof
We are three wire fox terriers, one large black cat, assorted hand puppets, a presidential pup and everything dog. We're an animal salon. Everything on our minds is on the table for discussion and display: art, everyday, politics, musings, and especially the inane.
THE ORIGINAL DOODLES
Mac and cheese, Laurel and Hardy, Powell and Loy ...original duos. Here are the posts from the original Mr. Doodles Dog. Gimlet and Nigel (and Joe the Cat) at their four-legged, Peebody Award-winning best.
Bloggers With Fingers
- Composting Childs
For anyone who's ever looked at something a thousand times and then summoned the eureka to risk another glance at a slightly different angle. You'll see something new here, and you'll like it. It's about the everyday, and the garden, and living life. Carrot-chomping, yard-patrolling wire fox terrier named Jack in there, too. - The Culinary Sherpas
Get carried away by the Sherpas and discover an Ali Baba's treasure trove of food, recipes and fresh, sharp, funghi writing. - Side Salad
A Gettysburger address of a blog: off-the-cuff, off-the-bone and meaty. Plus, there's Abraham and Lincoln. - The Daily Dave 2.0
Twice the wit, twice the Dave. But Four Questions? It all adds up. - Sarah Says
Uplighting and insightful commentary on what makes us all tick. Tiger Varga, too.

My dear girl, you'll be in royalty's thrall. - Ricky Pepper
A mini-dachshund with more yip style than Chanel. Did you know that Ricky and his babes are more sweet than spicy? While this current blog is full of great clothes, treats and photos, Ricky's old blog ...? It was the Gregory Peck of dachshund blogs.... Note the past tense. Ricky's tell-all blog was discovered, reported and outted. Despite being a great guy, blogger extraordinare and leader of dog crusades, Ricky has a nemesis. Yes, even sweet dachshunds are not immune from the tyranny of jerks. Ricky has taken his personal blog down. All thinking dogs mourn. - Agatha and Archie's Page

Grey matter. Media between-the-lines. Some of this will make you even madder. - Bits And Pieces
"Fiber, Words, Data and Dog Hair." That says a lot, but really doesn't cover it. You should visit. - Colbert Nation
Wagging fingers. A facile tongue and biting wit. Stephen Colbert has our dogged admiration. "Oprah, where's my cupcake?"
GOOD & DOG-EARED
Cool Cat, Hot Dog. 5 STARS. As out-of-this-wire-world as the imagination and a wire fox terrier (plus cat) can get. Sandy Turner, dog icon.
Dear Mrs. Larue. 5 STARS. Like Ike? We love him. Dear Mrs. Larue, you raised him right.
Silent Night. 5 STARS. It's not about Santa. A wire fox terrier has the only lines in this book. Thank you, Sandy Turner.
ALTON BROWN ALLEY
Dog Bites: Canine Cuisine. Our old standby; we're faithful fidos when it comes to this book.
Throw Me A Bone. Make mine a soup bone, crunchy croutons on the side.
Cooking the Three Dog Bakery Way. Good things come in threes: tenors, Stooges, tries and dog bakeries.
Bow Wow Chow. Unispecies cooking and baking. One-size apron fits all?
Help Yourshelf
Maurice Sendak wrote and illustrated this Alice's Terrier in Wonderland confection. It might be entitled "A Sealyham's Fate Is Sealed" but that is too foreboding. Gimlet prefers to think of this as introspective and she loves the thought of imagination used for salvation.
Ebony and Ivory meet Irony.
Nigel and Gimlet called it: great book.
Gimlet ate up this Scottie and monkey tale. Read her review.

NUTS FOR THEM
Earl. Mooch. Little Pink Sock. Dogs, cats, art, birds, more art ... art, art, art. Plus, the popular and philanthrophic "The Gift of Nothing." (We've received a few.) Possibly the most inspirational comic strip in publication today. Why? It owes much to the inspiration of a little Jack Russell mix named Earl and the legacy of numerous artists, from all types of media. Nuff sed, go to Mutts and sign up for free daily delivery.
PAGING MISS HEPBURN
- Katharine Hepburn Theater
Box office boffo. Soon, the brainiest star in anyone's universe, Katharine Hepburn, will have a cultural arts center in her hometown of Old Saybrook, Connecticut, to add to her legacy. Not only did she tell a wicked Philadelphia story and tame lions during the winter, she shared the silver screen with a wire fox terrier named Skippy. Get acquainted with "Kate's Campaign" and remember why she's the woman of every year.
CLASSIC WIRE WHODUNIT
The Thin Man. Off the Charts. Sleuths Nick and Nora Charalambides and their female schnauzer, Asta ... Don't recognize it? OK. Sleuths Nick and Nora Charles and their male wire fox terrier, Asta... That better? Have some martinis and it will all be fine.
Taking Artistic Dog License
Best in Show: The Dog in Art from the Renaissance to Today. Five licks. Piero della Francesca, Titian, George Stubbs, Tiepolo, Landseer, Gainsborough, Wardle... You'll see something that would go well over the couch.
A Dog's Life in Art and Literature. Five pots of paint. Dogs, dogs and more dogs. Paintings and stories artfully and masterfully told. Paws and tails up.
Happy Birthday Coco. A quietly elegant and artful illustrated narrative about a wire fox terrier's life. We meet her as she turns one.
James Thurber: The Dog Department. FIVE STARS. No one knew dogs like Thurber. Here, his hounds, scotties and talking poodles have their say. Our favorite? The infamous airedale Muggs, subject of "The Dog Who Bit People."
Art Dog. FIVE STARS. Portrait of the artist as a young security dog. The artful antics of Arthur Dog will have you van Goghing.
Political Animals
The True Story of Fala. Universal Gem. By Margaret Suckley and Alice Dalgliesh. FDR read and approved of his scottish terrier's tell-all. Liberal use of terrier wisdom and antics inside.
Letters from the Campaign Trail: Larue for Mayor. Super Nova. We like Ike, enough to think of him as ... mayor? Get out those campaign leashes.
HOW MUCH IS THAT YOU KNOW IN THE WINDOW?
Nuts about Miss Nutty Girl. Wonderful treats, art ... she has three schnauzers and two bigger dogs. All are rescue. Be a nut and visit.
