THE WRITERS

              PHOEBE                                                                            MR. O

Phoebe is a “sweet” Labrador/Husky, maybe with a bit of hound in the mix. She was brought from Missouri to Rhode Island in 2010 as 6-month-old stray. Living in Newport with her humans, The Nice One and the Grouchy One, she had no particular interest in politics until the Donald Trump catastrophe. She concluded that it was her duty as a citizen to do something, hence her blog, which ran from 2017 to 2020 as "Tracking Trump."  It was restarted in 2021 as “Dangerous Times.” 

 Mr. O is an opossum with a Teddy Bear face and rat-like tail, He appeared mysteriously in Phoebe’s backyard in 2020. Politically astute, he agreed to co-author her blog after the death of Cat, who had been the dog’s antagonist/ partner until the feline died the previous year. Disappearing after Joe Biden’s election last year, Mr. O surfaced without advance notice in late summer, 2021, and agreed to help Phoebe restart the blog, which they renamed “Dangerous Times.”

IN MEMORIAM

Cat, a cat, was Phoebe's co-author. He died Nov. 14, 2019.  His contribution was to keep the liberal and often over-the-top Phoebe sensible and on course, making sure she focused on results. He is remembered in every posting, and missed.

EDITORS' NOTE:
You might notice that the Web address for our site is www.ontrumpstrail.com . This was the original title of the blog. But to change the address to a more appropriate title for the current  "Dangerous Times" version means renting a separate Internet domain. We're too frugal to do that, although you might come up with a different word for our decision.
