Hi, from me and Max.

Hi, from me and Max.
Max is a good nurse, and a blanket. (See current view below). Some days are better than others, today isn't. MS is a bugger.

Hi, hope I'm not violating the spirit too much by posting Max in a lot of light. Too poorly to take a good shot. Enjoying everyone's pictures and getting some good ideas for visibility cloaks.

Max is a hero.
I was stuck upstairs and OH, who does not hear well, was on the phone downstairs (only one at the moment, another story) when food delivery arrived early.
I shouted, Max barked and BARKED, OH ended his call, Max ran to the door and OH followed.
Disaster averted.

"What's that you say? Time to get up? Time is an illusion, a concept foisted on the proletariat by the entrepreneurial class. And it's raining, again. I am quite comfortable here, thanks."

Here's a rather unsettling image. It's advertising, but not as we know it. It shows a funeral entirely of Fox Terriers, including mourners. The reverse is the advert, and it seems to date from 1938.

Good Morning. Here is a postcard, by Rotary Photo, EC. The message on the reverse is dated May 1910.
It shows Cæsar, Edward VII's favourite dog. Presumably this was part of the commemoration of the King's death.
JRT 's don't seem to have changed much.

Here's Max, with rarely seen parts of me. He often doesn't cuddle up, but regards us as heated couches for his convenience and treads us down until he's comfortable.
Who is the dominant species?

One from the archives. This is the first day we met. The good people from the Wainwright Centre brought him to us, after a car problem when we should have met, and interviewed us all together. He is working out if we will do.

Max doesn't do tricks. But he does do manipulating people and making them feel guilty so they will give him a treat. Perhaps it is we who are performing tricks as he desires?
I give you: 'Reproach'.

I've posted this before, but here is the b&w postcard from about 1910 of one woman and her terrier. He looks like a handful.
We walk in a long line of terrier servants.

I'm loving all the film noir vibes this morning.
Here's Max, from the inside back cover of his existentialist work, 'L'Être et le Fromage.' ('Being and Cheese'.) On every first year philosophy reading list.

'Resist much, obey little.'
Walt Whitman, 'To the States'.
Seems to encapsulate the terrier mindset. Obviously the presence of cheese can alter the case.

Here is a photograph of a postcard I own, no dates or attributions, but it looks like 1910s clothes and hairstyle. The JR looks just like a modern one, and plainly is about to jump off and chase something.
One day I'll write their story.
