The living story

The story so far

Pickle is a snorting philosopher in a wrinkled suit, and he has the tenure to prove it. His positions are well-documented: naps, pro; stairs, con; your lap, his. He snores in iambic pentameter and has never once been embarrassed about anything, including the time he fell off the couch mid-snore and blamed the couch.

Happening now

He is currently conducting a long-form study on the optimal sunbeam, rotating through the living room in fifteen-minute increments like a tiny, wheezing sundial. Findings so far: the 3 p.m. beam is superior. Peer review is pending. The peers are asleep.

What may come

Pickle will eventually publish — probably by sighing heavily near a publisher. Until then, the philosophy continues: every lap is his lap, every nap is earned, and dignity is a construct for dogs with longer legs.

Why someone keeps Pickle

  • because his snores scan in iambic pentameter and your nights need poetry
  • because he has never been embarrassed about anything and he's willing to teach you
  • because every lap is his lap, which means you'll never sit alone again

The Hearthkeepers

The companions: goldens, corgis, pugs, bulldogs — the dogs on the couch, in the bed, under the table at dinner. Politics: whoever is closest to the human wins. The human is always the territory.
