The Strudwick File: Another Banner Week for Strud

The Strudwick File: Another Banner Week for Strud
Megyn has a jam-packed Strudwick update – that includes a cameo from his sister Thunder – for you this week, so settle in: 1. Strud got out of the kitchen/family room area AGAIN (it’s hard to make sure the doors are always closed when you have three kids and their friends are constantly over). He …
The Strudwick File: Pizza Gate, Part II

The Strudwick File: Pizza Gate, Part II
If you are a regular reader of The Strudwick File, this picture needs no explanation. You are likely thinking, he did it again?? The answer is yes, but we’ll have Megyn explain how it happened: I walked out of the studio (on the third floor) after the show and heard the jingle of Strudwick’s collar. …
The Strudwick File: Snack Stealer

The Strudwick File: Snack Stealer
Strud strikes again! For the second week in a row, Thatcher was the victim of a hungry, discourteous Strudwick. He snatched Thatcher’s pretzel right out of his hand as he passed by in the kitchen. Half of the pretzel remained (above), but Thatcher wisely opted for a fresh one rather than the piece covered in …
The Strudwick File: Naan Too Good, Strud!

The Strudwick File: Naan Too Good, Strud!
Last night, I whipped up a little chicken tikka masala, which is the easiest meal you’ll ever make. In a pan, sear diced chicken in olive oil, add store-bought tikka masala sauce, put store-bought naan in the oven for two minutes, and you’re done (you can also add rice). All five of us love this …
The Strudwick File: Strud and Megyn Go to the Spa?

The Strudwick File: Strud and Megyn Go to the Spa?
It’s been an interesting week with Strud — what else is new? A week after Gas Gate, he still seemed to be struggling with his little problem. We had people over to our house in Montana and we put him and Thunder in our bedroom. Well, Doug opened the bedroom door to put someone’s coat …
The Strudwick File: Gas Gate

The Strudwick File: Gas Gate
This is Strudwick’s first Christmas in Montana with us and I have to say, so far he’s been pretty good! However, the trip out here was brutal thanks to – and there is no way of delicately stating this – his gas! We take a flight out west that is a normal-sized airline, but it …
The Strudwick File: Thunder Steals the Show

The Strudwick File: Thunder Steals the Show
For once, our ‘good’ dog Thunder (below) makes an appearance in The Strudwick File, which is named after the only dog we have that’s ever naughty. Truth be told, Thunder wasn’t really naughty this week, but there was drama. Doug and I were out of town. His sister was watching our kids and we thought …
The Strudwick File: But Rye?

The Strudwick File: But Rye?
Unfortunately, Strud has learned how to open the sliding door to the pantry, which Megyn describes as a “before-and-after moment” in her life with him. Thankfully, the damage was kept to a minimum (the rye bread was the only casualty) – for now – because he did it with Doug in the room. Keep up …
The Strudwick File: Strud Cuts a Rug, Part I

The Strudwick File: Strud Cuts a Rug, Part I
Last year, Strudwick managed to help himself to a box of cherry Jello that was on the kitchen counter. The result was what looked like a murder scene on the neighboring room’s rug. Megyn tried and tried but couldn’t get any portion of this stain out: This was after he had already stained the rug …
The Strudwick File: Strud 1, Toy 0

The Strudwick File: Strud 1, Toy 0
After keeping us on all our toes with his mellow moment last week, Strud is back at it. Here is what his newest toy looked like when Megyn bought it: For the uninitiated, you put a treat in the middle and the toy randomly dispenses it through any of the six holes as it rolls …
The Strudwick File: The Most Shocking Strud Moment Yet

The Strudwick File: The Most Shocking Strud Moment Yet
As Megyn teased on her show earlier this week, we might have the most shocking Strudwick File yet. What is Strud up to this time? Absolutely nothing… beyond looking adorable during a nap. Megyn’s take: “He has his moments.” Keep up to date on Strudwick’s latest shenanigans by subscribing to the American News Minute, Megyn’s …
The Strudwick File: ‘Should’ve Prayed Harder’

The Strudwick File: ‘Should’ve Prayed Harder’
This is the so-called ‘safe area’ of the house where Megyn keeps Strudwick and his sister Thunder while she and her family are at church. This week, it didn’t prove to be safe from Strud’s high jinks. As Megyn put it, she “should’ve prayed harder.” Keep up to date on Strudwick’s latest shenanigans by subscribing …
