Ever wake up from a midafternoon nap only to realize that you’re being subsumed by a massive black hole?

Never. Really?

It seems to happen to me on the regular.

As fearsome Guard Dogs, any one of us can protect the homestead adequately.

Still, for special events, such as mail delivery or the arrival of visitors, we like to have the full contingent on duty.

—Xena, et. al.

Who goes there?

And what did you bring me?

—Phelps

Happy National Black Cat Appreciation Day to my fellow House Panthers!

Humans, get to work showing your appreciation to your dark Overlords and Ladies!

—Darth Vader

My view is much superior to yours, Human Mommy.

Too bad about the ridiculous clickety-clackety nonsense you have to do for “work.”

—Lily

It’s only Tuesday, Human Mommy, but maybe if you stretch as far as you can, you can reach over the hump.

Were you reading that, Human Mommy?

Well, you shouldn’t be.

You should be paying attention to me.

—Darth Vader

We are spending a lovely day in our Private-Members-Only-Cat-and-Dog Club, sometimes erroneously referred to as the front porch.

Do you know what would make it even lovelier, Humans?

That’s right. Refreshments.
