Animals in Office
swine snorts at talent wish i’d wonder if too late reptile darts and hisses insinuating problems exist wish i’d wonder if too late hyena snarls at herself through others wish i’d wonder if too late

Oscar Signs Huge Wal-Mart Deal
I will not bemoan but briefly restate, as an introduction to new readers, that I am Oscar the oft-ignored pig who dwelled deep in a Calabasas canyon. I make that reference in past tense for today I can reveal I have maneuvered, boldly rather than treacherously, to improve my station. While my wealthy owners, who […]

Oscar the Pig has a Feast

An Indignant Pig

Rarely have I whined about forever being banished to a dreary Calabasas canyon while, in the […]

Life of a Pig
I’m twelve years old and have never known another pig since I don’t remember suckling my mother but with enduring clarity I recall my first home, in the back yard of a family in the San Fernando Valley. I was a twenty-pound piglet then and enjoyed the kids and their friends patting me while cooing […]
