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?
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: 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: Halloween Haunts
The Strudwick File: Halloween Haunts
Before trick-or-treating got underway, Strudwick and his sister Thunder were put in what Megyn described as their “Halloween prison” (below) – a seemingly inescapable formation of gates, crates, and chairs. But you didn’t think Strud could make it through the devilish day without a bit of mischief did you? Alas, he figured out a way …
The Strudwick File: Strud Reads Up
The Strudwick File: Strud Reads Up
You may have seen the video Megyn posted on Instagram earlier this week of Strudwick being – wait for it – a good boy chewing a bone in his bed. But apparently he had some other chewing to do. His latest casualty? The Anarchy by William Dalrymple. No word yet on how it compares to …
The Strudwick File: Pizza Gate, Part I
The Strudwick File: Pizza Gate, Part I
Megyn left her kids in charge of watching Strud while she went to curriculum night at their school. How did it go? You be the judge… Megyn: Kids! Did Strud get loose and into the pizza in the dining room? Thatcher: No! Yates: He escaped once by jumping over the chairs that were blocking his …
The Strudwick File: Wait, What’s That?
The Strudwick File: Wait, What’s That?
Can you guess what this chewed up brown mass is? It is not poop or sausage or a Tootsie Roll, though it bears a frightening resemblance to all three. It is, however, a piece of Megyn’s in-ground sprinkler system that Strud keeps managing to dig up – and eat – all over the property. Keep …
The Strudwick File: The Bitter Reality of the Bitter Apple Spray
The Strudwick File: The Bitter Reality of the Bitter Apple Spray
Not only does Strudwick eat soda cans, books, and bike reflectors, but he also chews on his sister Thunder’s ears. To make him stop, Megyn tried spraying Thunder’s ears with a bitter apple spray. Did it work? We’ll let Megyn explain: “The bitter apple spray did not stop Strud from chewing on Thunder’s ears. It …
