Sasquatch & The Scoop Shovel

Waning Wolf Moon over Jupiter, Pollux, and Castor

Sasquatch stumbled upon a scoop shovel

Under the light of a waning Wolf Moon
When darkness would give way to twilight soon
Sasquatch wandered out from his hovel
Onto the beach where he spied a shovel
What is this strange thing? He thought with wonder
Is it useful or a trap to pull me asunder?
Oh, hark! I hear a human coming this way
It’ll have to wait for another day

“Sasquatch? Did you say Sasquatch? We heard he likes to eat cats!”

Dawn

Spunk: “I’m not afraid of no stinking Sasquatch! I kicked his butt six years ago when I slipped through a wormhole, and it took me a month to fight my way back into this dimension.”

The Wolf Tree & The Winter Moon

The Wolf Tree & The Winter Moon† by Timothy Price, featuring Resa McConaghy on vocals.

As many of my followers know, I write a song for the Winter Wolf Moon every January. The 2026 Wolf Moon song is very special because it stars Resa’s Wolf Tree, and what’s even more exciting is that Resa sang the song. Her voice is beautiful and perfect for the song.

[Intro/Chorus]
Wolf Tree and the Winter Moon
Cold and darkness they consume
Watching over frozen lives
While twilight leans on the gloom

[Verse 1]
Can four divisors tell us what’s to come?
Predictions made on the dividend
Year of our Lord two-thousand twenty-six
We have one-thousand thirteen, one, and two

[Chorus]
Wolf Tree and the Winter Moon
Cold and darkness they consume
Watching over frozen lives
While twilight leans on the gloom

[Verse 2]
The Wolf Moon and the Wolf Tree ask
What are the odds? What is the chance
Of being good, of being bad,
Of simply being ugly

[Bridge]
Wolf Tree and the Winter Moon
Against the odds they roll their dice
Will they fall on double sixes
Or will they fall on snake eyes
Another throw, three out of four
Does winter live or does it die?

[Outro/Chorus]
Wolf Tree and the Winter Moon
Cold and darkness they consume
Watching over frozen lives
While twilight leans on the gloom

Wolf Tree and the Winter Moon
Cold and darkness they consume
Watching over frozen lives

On Thin Ice

Loki: “Thin ice my paw! What kind of pawpoorazzi, Tim foolery are you and Jake trying to pull on us?”
Paparazzo: “I see Jake and I can fool some kitties most of the time, but Loki kitty none of the time!”

Spunk holding down Gwendolyn and licking her head.

Rainbow Sun

Twilight

Jupiter and friends

Rainbow sun smiles on Christmas Eve
Families decorate their dead
Festive scenes of joy for those
Now ghosts of Christmas past
Who rejoice in silence over love
Shared by those who don’t forget
Loved ones who were, and will always be
In their thoughts, their hearts, their memories

Merry Christmas!

Spunkriature

Spunk’s and my recent bedtime ritual is doing Spunkriature. Spunk bats at the camera, scratches, growls, and hisses, and then poses nicely for, for instance (il paparazzo has to be quick on the shutter), before he starts grooming himself, between resuming his attacks on il paparazzo for pestering him. Spunkriature is quite exciting and bloody dangerous.
