Newton’s Bath Chicken

Newton: Look what I have! I stole it from Ashton’s Chicken Emporium.

Newton: As long as I stay behind this green thing, the little chicken can’t see me.

Ashton: HEY! Wait, that’s the chicken from the place the humans get clean. They take a bath with it.

Newton: It’s mine now. And see, I can take a bath with it.

Ashton: But that isn’t how humans take baths. They walk under the vertical water with that chicken.

Newton: OMC! I’m not walking under vertical water. Forget that!

Newton: You can have it for your chicken emporium, Ashton.

Ashton: Yes! I win!

Ashton: It’s easier to outsmart boycats than it is to wrestle things away from them.

Newton’s Take Your Cat to Work Day

Newton: It may be Take Your Dog to Work Day, but I’m going to shake things up.

Newton - Take Your Cat to Work Day

Newton: You need me to take dictation? Okay, I’m ready.

Pierre: I can’t read this chicken scratch! You need to type this up.

Newton: That’s cat scratch to you. I don’t think this plan is going to work, Pierre. Don’t you need thumbs to type?

Pierre: You haven’t watched how the manpeep types, have you? No, you don’t need thumbs to type.

Pierre: But maybe instead of taking dictation, you should start with something you have already shown a talent for.

Newton: Like what?

Pierre: How about shipping and receiving? All cats are good with boxes.

Newton: I’m on it! Just keep that tape gun away from my luxurious tail fur.

Unauthorized Closed Door

Newton: Come quick!

Pierre: We need you in here. There’s a problem.

Newton: Look! It’s closed!

Pierre: Who authorized this? You know there’s a strict no closed doors rule in my house.

Newton: Do you think I could grow some thumbs so I can open that doorknob?

Pierre: I don’t think it works that way, Newt. You either get thumbs or you don’t.

Pierre: Cover me, I’m going to try to open it.

Newton: What do you want me to cover you with?

Pierre: Never mind. I can’t get this open. We need someone to work the doorknob.

Pierre: Come on. Open it up. I’m not moving until you do.

Outtakes from a Day at the Beach

We published a post on Memorial Day that included a photo of Pierre at the beach. What we didn’t share was how uncooperative we were about creating it. Today, we are sharing some of the outtakes from that photo session.

Ashton: Do you really think I’m going anywhere near those scary, new objects?

Ashton: This is as close as I get. Sorry.

Ashton: Okay, maybe if you throw a treat, I’ll charge in and wad up the ground trying to stop for the treat before Newton notices it.

Newton: You know, Pierre, that’s not exactly your best side.
