Man And The Manchester Terrier

The Manchester Terrier: The Most Manly Terrier (Especially The Girl Ones)
The rancid garbage with its expired buttermilk cartons and brown Q-Tips I can understand. But, tearing through plastic bags to get at a single dulled chain-saw chain, to pull it round the yard backwards, now forwards, now back again, and leave it as a graceful industrial art installation by the garage door? Can a mere human fathom the mind of the terrier?

(Godzilla dog, Small and Big’s Vice President of External Affairs, also offers Drinking Tips. Of course.)

Hee hee! Visited your blog Moda Eagleman and love all the bright happy photos. Pretty flowers that a Manchaser Terrier... er, Manchester would enjoy digging up. Make the perfect dirty nose.

Haha love it! Sometimes I think I can see him thinking...other times, the terrier simply seems to defy human comprehension...
I also borrowed the cartoon for my own blog...hope that is okay!

Ah, a fellow terrier-understander. Thanks for visiting and commentin', BringingHomePuppy. Have fun with your dog Timmy. By naming him that you've guaranteed that if he falls into a well he'll be saved. (I'm sure you never get Lassie jokes.) And yes, thanks also for the borrowing of my cartoon and the link back. You're helping to spread the Small & Big word, one dry dog kibble at a time.

Anizo 100% Reality Mind

Image
“Anizo 100% Reality Mind.” What this means, I have no idea. A friend found it living in a vending machine on the street in China and brought it back to Boston for me. The one-inch tall yellow plastic guy (I think it’s a he) has a smile, a blue tear, a pair of hand holes, a growth atop his head pierced clean through, and, on his backside, a man getting squeezed between two lines that I hope do not represent butt cheeks. The warning printed on the paper insert commands, “Do not use as lifeguard equipment.” Anizo and I, we’re inseparable. Anizo 100% Reality Mind!

Illustration Friday: Hide

Image
Maurice’s cunning helped him evade that hungry field sparrow, and in doing so he discovered something new: his special affinity for flowers. He decided to go for it. He attained his Master’s Degree in floral arrangement from Chicago School of Flower Design. Today Maurice owns and manages a successful retail floral operation behind the shed there, to the left of the plastic green leprechaun. This is my drawing for the Illustration Friday ( IF website ) assignment, this time to illustrate "Hide". Click it for a bigger version.
