Screen grab of the dogs (and cat) in Oliver and Company all chummy with Brody sloppily added to one side, tongue hanging out, staring at the camera

And throwback to the time I kept putting Brody in stills from Oliver in Company to prove he is an actual cartoon dog

Brody the blue heeler lounges on a gray couch, looking up at the camera sleepy-like. His front legs are curled up like little r-Rex arms, back legs splayed

I’m trying to take a nice photo with Brody but he is in gremlin mode instead, eyes wide and staring off camera, mouth slightly open and about to bark, head huge on the right side of the frame while I look at the camera, smiling and trying to get a picture but clearly knowing I’m failing

It’s Brody’s gotcha day, happy four years with this good boy / gremlin

"Swans" by Amy Stuber "This is a story about Peter’s first year of college. No, it’s about boys and birds and men. Or it’s about love and safety and the ways we hurt each other."

Couldn't be more excited to get to share that @amystuber.com's Short Story, Long story, "Swans," was selected for The Best American Mystery and Suspense 2026!

This was not only one of my fave stories I published last year, but one of my fave stories of the year, period. Congrats, Amy!!

Red-tinted photo of a bouquet of bendy straws with lights above and behind them. It was taken in a bar, just don’t ask me which one

Brody the blue heeler is blissfully asleep on a light gray sofa, head resting on a matching pillow, his two back legs and front feet all resting on my legs and feet.

Brody the blue heeler lies on a burnt orange comforter with a crocheted blanket bunched up next to him. He looks intensely off camera, ears alert, focused.

Same background of orange comforter and crocheted blanket but there is a gray blur through the middle of the photo. You can almost make out a body and four legs, all blurry with motion.

against a blue sky, a bird flies through a portal. From left to right we see the bird as a full image flying, then the bird in the portal, then just the portal but smaller, and final the portal but very small looking like it's about to wink out

Brody the blue heeler stands in the passenger seat of a car, staring intently toward the driver’s side window. What you can’t see is that we’re in a Peet’s drive thru and he is watching the employees in the window like they’re the cattle he was born to herd

Occasional Poem
Jeffrey H. MacLachlan

Share for special occasions. A special occasion implies a few times per year. As people age, life occupies more years and occasions. Shared occasions become part of a special few. Relish time for those occasions. Special love parts with a few years.

Brody the blue heeler’s ears peak above anburnt orange duvet and crocheted green, white, and orange blanket. In the foreground, front left is a vine philodendron and a slightly droopy fiddle leaf fig. It’s doing fine guys, I’ve had it for like ten years now. On the right is a tv sitting on a stand full of DVDs and a Battlestar Galactica board game is tucked underneath. Do you want it? It’s the one that’s out of print, I keep meaning to sell it. Anyway if you zoom in to Brody you can just make out one eye in the brown patch, fixed directly at the camera.

Brody the blue heeler lays on a light gray couch and rests his big head on my legs. Only one ear is visible, the higher hidden behind his giant dome.
