Salutations, loyal henchmen. It is I, Augustus Megatron Bulldozer. Please save your raucous celebrations until after my blog. It is befitting that May’s blog should fall to me.

2016 Sucked — by Auggie

Yes. I posted this a day earlier than the other blogs. Don’t test my leftover manufactured holiday cheer. I’m warning you. 2016 was a tough year for our pack. Not only did we lose Coal – the only other dog in this miserable pack that loved to swim and fetch – but we lost Whit, […]

Supreme Fetch Dog Throughout All The Land – By Auggie

I AM AUGUSTUS MEGATRON BULLDOZER. First of all Canines in Rome and otherwise. Get used to it. I WILL ADMIT THAT BEING SUPERIOR to all dogs and humans has left me a bit lonely. Not lonely in the fuzzy, plebeian, common-rabble way like sharing a dog bed with old chums, but rather lonely for somedog to give […]

Pucker Up Dead-Noses – by Auggie

I am Augustus, ruler of all things Canine. You’re welcome. Now, before I get into my obligatory contribution for this paltry newsletter, I must make one thing absolutely, perfectly, crystal clear. I did not have relations with that wiener dog. I have fought off these types of assaults before. As if the mere suggestion of […]

Fashion Shows and Mashed Potatoes — By Auggie

I am Emperor Augustus, your Canine Lord and Master. I can be benevolent or malevolent. Your attitude towards me will determine what attitude you shall receive from me. Thanks a lot, Deadnoses.

Wonder Not, Gentle Suburbanite — By Auggie

My Name is Augustus. My friends may call me “Auggie” or “Aug Dog.” Only my most intimate acquaintances may call me “Auggie Doggie.” You most certainly may NOT call me “Hoggie” or “Hog Dog.” And “Hawggie Dawggie” is out of the question. There will be grave consequences should you cross that line. You know who […]

Auggie’s Reign Deer of Terror

I am Augustus. You should address me as such. See that you do in future, and your past transgressions shall be forgotten. My intention was to write a heartwarming account of the “True Meaning of Christmas” using the adopt-o-dogs Buddy and Coal as my pity-vehicles because the Christmas topic has never been satisfactorily addressed. But […]

Break Away From Being “From Away” — By Auggie

My first name is Augustus. My middle name is Megatron. My Surname is Bulldozer. I am Auggie. You must yield to me. I will protect you. Now, I’m a practical dog. I like my treats hearty, my walks long, and my breath stinky at all times. I have no time for pretension. And I must […]
