Perch'io stesso mi strinsi. Servitij causam præstat sibi avara Volucris. Nec culpa hic, culpæ nec sua pæna deest. Jacques de Gheyn II, Théâtre d'amour (c.1600) Plate 25. 

A little bird that entering a bird-cage of its own accord, beyond, at left; at right, Cupid is seated on a mound, looking over his shoulder at the cage; at left, a large tree; on the ground before Cupid is his quiver.

This is the twenty-first emblem from Daniel Heinsius' emblem book 'Quaeris quid sit Amor...'. The motto is taken from Petrarch.

What about the dog? well to be precise what about the pet? All of us that have pets treat them as part of the family, but often they don't get spoilt as much as we should. I suggest that before the colder months come in to go and check out the rabbits cage, of birds cage, or dogs bed and if they are looking a little shabby treat them to a new one. coincidentally if you wish to buy them a new bed or cage then have a look at the great products at www.house2homemegastore.co.uk as they have some really great product ideas.
