Greetings fans o’ the Manor. I’ve spent the previous week on vacation. It was a home vacation, time earmarked for taking on some long delayed projects although I think I managed to lengthen my to do list rather than shorten it. Well it’s Friday, so there’s one thing I can cross off [...]

That’s where I am this week. Not that we’re going anywhere besides a few day trips and multiple trips to the barn for some horse maintenance. Needless to say blogging will be lighter than usual, though I may try to post a Dimmer Switch later this week to keep pace with my rival [...]

Greetings all you fans of the kats of meer. Tis Friday, which means it’s time for another installment of Meerkat Manor, which in turn means it’s time for me to pay homage to my typing teacher by providing an up to the minute summary of the action. Allow me to crack my knuckles [...]

Am I > D.L. Stewart?

Well obviously I am, though my latest quarry does pose some problems that differ from my previous opponent. Though I never outright contacted Mr. Stein to inform him of our little battle, it’s obvious to me that he was in fact aware of it. Being the self centered egotistical narcissist that he is [...]

Do They Make Silver Carpet for Kids’ Bedrooms?
I was planning on using this column to extend my challenge to the Dayton Daily News’s resident “humor” columnist, but apparently he hasn’t written a new column since the beginning of August. What’s wrong, can’t [...]

We spent the evening with Sassy tonight, putting her through some paces. She’s been at the new stable for a few days now and she’s pretty much been confined to the stall until she acclimates to the new environment, so we took her out to an empty ring so she could stretch her legs [...]

Meet Sassy:
I has a pony.
Well technically, my wife and daughters has a pony since they’re the ones who’ve been working with her and possess the majority of the equine knowledge in the house. I basically know which end the food goes in and which end the food comes out.
She was a pony at the [...]

It’s Friday, it’s 8:30, time for some Meerkats!
When we last saw the Whiskers, Flower and the gang were sick of their current digs so they made inroads into the territory of the Zappas led by dominant male Frank. During the brief altercation with the Zappas, Mitch, Sophie, Jogu and Flower’s pups went missing in [...]

Yeah, yeah, I know. I missed my new self-proposed deadline for the Dimmer Switch.
Next week on time. Promise. I also promise to write one. This week has been, well, full.
I did manage to send out some writing samples in my yearly longshot attempt at syndication. Wish me luck.

lolcats + meerkats = molkats?
Filed Under Meerkat Manor Blogging | 3 Comments
I received an email a few weeks back from some marketing people promoting Meerkat Manor. Nothing too juicy, just a few links to some meerkat photos and videos. Since I haven’t gotten in on the lolcat meme yet, I thought I’d give it a go with some of the meerkat photos.
So [...]
