The Strudwick File: Strud’s Spring Cleaning
The Strudwick File: Strud’s Spring Cleaning
Spring cleaning season is quickly approaching, so we can only assume Strudwick was trying to get a jump start on the tidying up by going through some of Megyn’s cooking utensils. As you may know, Strud *loves* wooden spoons and has snacked on many over the years (see: here and here). He also damaged a …
The Strudwick File: Stair Master
The Strudwick File: Stair Master
As you may know, Strudwick and his sister Thunder are only allowed on the first floor on Megyn’s home. There have, of course, been more than a few instances in which that rule was broken (see: exhibit A, exhibit B, exhibit C, exhibit D… we could go on). More often than not, Strud’s upstairs escapades …
The Strudwick File: A Citrus Story, Part II
The Strudwick File: A Citrus Story, Part II
Remember last week when Strudwick somehow knocked a bowl of lemons from the top of the microwave? Here is a reminder of the damage: As we mentioned, Strud – in a surprising turn of events – did not sample the citrus. But we should have known better than to think his snack time was over. …
The Strudwick File: A Citrus Story
The Strudwick File: A Citrus Story
If you have been following Strudwick’s shenanigans for some time, you know that no place in Megyn’s kitchen is truly safe when he is on the prowl. Case in point? He found a way to reach a bowl of lemons… on top of the microwave! “He really wanted these lemons apparently,” Megyn said. “This is …
The Strudwick File: Peanut Butter Problems
The Strudwick File: Peanut Butter Problems
Remember when Strudwick went to town on – count ’em – six bananas last week (Dole stickers and all) that did not agree with his stomach? It wasn’t so much the snack choice that was the problem, but rather the speed and volume at which he consumed it. Well, it appears to be déjà vu …
The Strudwick File: Strud Goes Bananas, Part II
The Strudwick File: Strud Goes Bananas, Part II
When you consider all of the food and inanimate objects Strudwick consumes on a regular basis, bananas would be considered among the most benign. Some might even say they are a healthy snack for our four-legged friend. Well, as the adage goes, you can have too much of a good thing. Strudwick learned that the …
The Strudwick File: Early Bird Special
The Strudwick File: Early Bird Special
After his visit with Santa Claus, Strudwick’s time in Montana was remarkably uneventful (by his standards at least). His return home to Connecticut has also been without (much) incident, though it does look like Strud is craving more quality time with Megyn and the fam. The other morning, she came down to the kitchen to …
The Strudwick File: Snuggle Session
The Strudwick File: Snuggle Session
After last week’s run-in with dear old Saint Nick (get caught up on Strud’s version of A Christmas Story here), it was time for Strudwick to take a chill pill. History indicates that our four-legged friend loves to snuggle up in a big comfy chair (above) while he is in Montana with Megyn and her …
The Strudwick File: A Christmas Story
The Strudwick File: A Christmas Story
Our three-act holiday saga – ahem, story – begins earlier this week with Megyn, Doug, the kids, and the dogs in Montana for a holly, jolly white Christmas. While Thunder was her usual angel of a self, our friend Strudwick had a bit of Scrooge energy to work out. We’ll let Megyn share what happened …
The Strudwick File: Flashcard Fail
The Strudwick File: Flashcard Fail
Earlier this year, Megyn shared she was “going nuts” as her youngest son Thatcher learned the state capitals because of the earworm he was using to memorize them. Hopefully that exercise marked the end of her kids’ geography lessons because it looks like, thanks to Strud, they now have one less tool in their toolkit. …
The Strudwick File: One in a Melon
The Strudwick File: One in a Melon
There is little, if anything, Strudwick won’t eat. Lately, he has sampled the decorative pumpkins and gourds, Thatcher’s pistachios, and his beloved butter to name a few. There was another taste-test this week that can only be described as one in a melon. Yes, that is what is left of a cup of watermelon chunks …
The Strudwick File: ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas
The Strudwick File: ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas
Winter does not officially begin for another couple of weeks, but the frigid temperatures came early in the northeast. Couple the cold with the season’s festive decor, and the setting was ripe for Strudwick to get in the holiday spirit by recreating one of our favorite Christmas classics. The tail – ahem, tale – begins …
