It’s dog posting time! Have some recent piccies:

Ginger grinning that it’s chew “toothbrush” time around 20h45 - they then take the chewing part very seriously.

Lily wasn’t saying anything but gave me a look then looked away. I noticed she was sat funny and asked if she’d hand me her back paw. There was a splinter inside. She’s funny, she’ll yell about wanting my sandwitch or fuss but sometimes she’s just very still and quiet and that’s how she says somethings’s wrong.

Happy Lily just because that’s her default mode, it’s just that usually she’s on her back with her eyes hidden by that face scruff.

Today’s walk: Close up on Lily’s tulle muzzle sewn on to her Halti with fishing thread (fishing thread is a pain to sew with so hopefully it’ll hold up for a few weeks) so she’ll stop eating outdoor junk and Gin making a fool of herself in front of the building because decorum is overrated when you can roll in cat smelling gravel.

Dog breed: Löwchen

Best boy: EVER

[kelgrid]

Year of the Dog - Löwchen “The breed is traceable to as far back as 1442. They are found in many old paintings, tapestries, engravings, drawings and in literature. It is an old breed type, found in many countries as far back as the sixteenth century. The little 'lion dog' is seen in many art pieces featuring dogs as far back as the sixteenth century, but it is unclear whether these were all dogs like the Löwchen, or simply small dogs of the Bichon type that were trimmed in a lion cut. Although this dog may be related to the Bichon Frise, the Löwchen's history remains obscure.

The Löwchen has a history as a companion dog to the wealthy and elite. It is possible to trace the modern history of the breed to late-19th-century enthusiasts in what are now Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands. It is thought the breed's ancestors were dogs that were brought in by travelers from the far eastern lands of Tibet and mingled with local dogs such as Spitz and terrier-type dogs. Occasionally a genetic throw-back is found.”
