Dosed Up on Dosa
That's what the humans are. This evening TJam deserted the animals and went for a human extravaganza at Pin and Huddersfield Town's House. The lovely Wry Sprite was there too. They had dosa made by the lady from the Farmers' Market, sitting around a beautifully laid (lain?) table with sparkling wit and repartee flowing. TJam didn't actually want to come home, but she had to or we would have eaten the place.
You can see from those smily faces that us dogs missed out on a real treat.

Deja Vu
We all had a surprise this morning. More snow!
The dogs got to see some beautiful scenery. Of course it was wasted on them.
Luckily, Chips was wearing her new coat, which TJam is very pleased with cos it doesn't fall off. I think Chips was pretty glad of it too.
Me? Well, this is what I think of snow.It's for dogs.

Influences
Today TJam has been doing some scanning. She has been considering her doggy influences. In the 70s people did not go with Deed not Breed or anything similar. They kept kids in cages and let the dogs run free. It was safer that way. You can never trust a child. When the kids were wise and trustworthy enough, they were allowed out.
Were dogs more long suffering in those days? I don't know. Old Hans certainly got his fair share of cuddles. His least favourite game was reinacting Belle and Sebastian, when he had to pretend to rescue TJam (Sebastian) from an avalanche. If it had been real life, TJam would have frozen to death. Hans was not big on role play.
In the 80s Remus made his entrance. It took him a while to grow into his ears and this pose did influence some of my own, later work. I call it "Sand on Nose."
Me:
So it would seem, TJam's earlier influences affected her choice of dog companions, and that these dogs' work has rubbed off on us. The bin raiding and junk eating we made up for ourselves and we would be proud to pass it on to any future generations.
