Petrol more expensive than jewels, junk food invading the world: what can we do?

Announcing Dawg’s Walk Your Dog to Work Week. Details to be announced, but it is too good an idea not to share. You save energy, you don’t pollute, your dog has a great time, and nobody gets fat. Pretty dashed cool, huh?

We are going to be at Lewes Farmers Market on Saturday 5th July, but we aren’t walking there. But we will be walking our dog at work..

The Dawg was in the forefront of this advertising malarky, borrowing techniques from Le Chien en La France, (but only techniques of wallpainting, nothing serious y’know).

Hey, listen up compadres! Every now and then someone who reads this blog, (hi mum!), sends a totally cool pic of the dog that rules their life.

So here is George.

Can you see his wand waving, as he exerts George-Thought-Control over you? (it’s that bit often called ‘tail’). And the glint in his eye belies a cosmic intelligence: “give me Treats, give me Treats, give me Treats you lardybum human.” Well no-one said he was polite… cute, loveable, smart yes..

The picture is from 1862, and is of General Custer and his dog.

You can tell it is from 1862 because the bounder has combed his hair but not his dog’s! To no avail if my history is clear: didn’t he suffer a form of hair loss later  on?

When you need to go to London,
When you really want to find out if the metropolis is as bad as the papers make out,
(it’s not),
When you would prefer to spend money rather than contemplate the finer smells in life,
Well for then, you will need Dawg’s guide to the Tube.

One sets a fine example..

(There is a whole graffarti exhibition here if that rattles your tin)

It’s going to be warm. And Dogs are going to be warm, especially big hairy chums like The Taster. What to do?

We make up some stock from stock cubes, double diluted to lessen any salt, and freeze into ice cubes. Little Miss Taster the 50 kilo Bouvier just luurves them.

The established Taster-in-Chief at the Kitchen of Dawg, Shannon, had a day off yesterday. Being a lovely spring day, she decided a walk in the Bluebell woods would be just about right for her delicate sensibilities…

Local papers used to be full of “funny” dog pictures, but no longer.

Here is an American study from papers in the 1950s and 1960s as your Dawg Retro Ephemera Special:
