Shrdlu our Office Cat has been having to work in the shop for a few days due to the illness of an employee who is now back on the job, much to the relief of Shrdlu. Spring and early Valley summer are definitely here, despite little cold flares, and Shrdlu,…
Shrdlu our Office Cat returned to La Feria last weekend from his vacation in the pines where he spent much time in the snow. We heard him coming, for he had taken up the habit of the school girls. He had bells tied to his feet. Also his tail. And…
We’re pretty busy these days and have been having already burned the candle at both ends for several weeks, we are just a little bit weary of going back to the office after supper. So Shrdlu, our office cat, that splendid feline creature of shrewdness and nocturnal prowess, is holding…
Shrdlu our Office Cat is half-Persian, half-Alley, and half-Mountain Lion. That makes him a cat-and-a-half, which he is beyond question. He doesn’t like not having seasons – noticeable, that is, down here in the Valley. He’s like a young man who can’t make up his mind whether he wants to…

Shrdlu our Office Cat had a hectic week-end. Every dog in the community happened by while he was resting up, snapped at him. Since the responsibility of getting the newspaper printed is Shrdlu’s, if your paper is late this week, you can blame it on the dogs. Shrdlu probably will…
Well, we had a good Christmas and we’re looking forward to a mighty fine New Year. We’re just that optimistic. Optimism is a good thing. Without it you get pessimistic, and pessimism is a bad thing. We had a fine but short vacation up in East Texas, in the Piney…
The corner has been overworked this week, and even our usually industrious office cat, Shrdlu, is about to fall in his tracks. We had difficulties with the weather, Shrdlu became a regular stoker of fires this week, seems that the weather had too much drip in it. In fact, the…
