Jack found out that last week was Cat Week and he’s pissed. He reminded me that we don’t even have a cat anymore and tersely noted that I should have made it dog week. He also said that I got this gig because of him and that I should be more grateful.
Ahem… Sorry Bubba. Allow me to present to you DOG WEEK. Let’s start with a party to celebrate.
John Karst. The Dog’s Grand Dinner Party. New York, McLoughlin Bros., Inc., 1869.
via: Baldwin Library of Historical Children’s Literature where you can read the whole delightful book.
I think it’s hilarious that the dogs have a monkey footman. Or a footmonkey.
That cover is a hoot, especially the gentleman dog with the monocle.
… and I’m looking forward to Dog Week!
(My cockatiel is on my shoulder, I’m telling her not to get her hopes up. :D)
