Mr Dog and I have been on a walk. We met a lady who charmed mr Dog with cat food. He has forbidden me to mention it to anyone, as it is (I’m sure you understand) extremely embarrassing. So don’t tell anyone else, please.
Edit: more photos…

'Perhaps humankind can't bear too much reality, but neither can it bear too much unreality, too much abuse of the truth.' (Saul Bellow)
'448 OMAR KHAYYÁM Omar had a personality; I, for better or worse, have none. In an hour I’ll have strayed from what I am at this moment; tomorrow I’ll have forgotten what I am today. Those who are who they are, like Omar, live in just one world, the external one. Those who aren’t who they are, like me, live not only in the external world but also in a diversified, ever-changing inner world. Try as we might, we could never have the same philosophy as Omar’s. I harbour in me, like unwanted souls, the very philosophies I criticize. Omar could reject them all, for they were all external to him, but I can’t reject them, because they’re me.' (F Pessoa)
'Mrs Glass looked over, abstractedly, at the blue bathmat, across the tiled floor. Zooey stood as still as possible, in order not to break her mood. "You can't live in the world with such strong likes and dislikes," Mrs Glass said to the bathmat, then turned again toward Zooey and gave him a long look, with very little, if any, morality in it. "Regardless of what you may think, young man," she said.' (JD Salinger)
'Art only begins where imitation ends.' (Oscar Wilde)
'"I like zooey's blog," Steiner would say, "It's the only internet site with a foyer. Saul and I often meet there, by the ethereal kiosk. The ice-cream is splendid."' (ThetisMercurio)
'What is the use of telling people repeatedly that the Society is not a sect and then behave as if it were one?' (Steiner)
'Laughter means distance. Where laughter is absent, madness begins. The moment one takes the world with complete seriousness one is potentially insane.' (Jens Bjørneboe)
'If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.' (Oscar Wilde)
'Let's act like sphinxes, however falsely, until we reach the point of no longer knowing who we are. For we are, in fact, false sphinxes, with no idea of what we are in reality. The only way to be in agreement with life is to disagree with ourselves. Absurdity is divine.' (F Pessoa)

Funny way of yours to keep a secret. Now you have posted Mr Dog´s embarrasment all over the internet. I gather he´s rather sour on you, and rightly so (if, by chance, he can read and handle a computer).
Curt,
Dog-shaming is a new trend in our Threefold Social Media Order.

You’re right, Curt. He’s very VERY angry with me. I’ve had to compensate him with lots of treats and distract him with discussions about bunnies. Of course he can read and handle a computer… what an insult!!
As for the dog shaming, we don’t think any of these dogs are the least bit ashamed! They obviously all chose to do what they did. No doubt for good reasons!
Well, OK, then, that’s their dogma!
I asked about the reading and stuff because His Corginess feels too elevated by his Royal Status to be involved in crude technology. It pleases me that I can tell him there are dogs that, dignity notwithstanding, are no snobs.
And, Hollywoodstar Tom, if you want to live a shameless, blameless life, become a dog!
Sorry, I’m already a cat in this life.
Oh-ah, even worse….Well, miauw to you with knobs on!
Tell His Corginess that technology is useful for spreading important messages. Such as messages about the superiority of dogs.
Poor Tom is already lost to the dark forces, I’m afraid. He needs many incarnations to redeem himself. But there’s still hope.
Oooohhh, Alicia! I must say that is the quintessence of a catty remark!
Mr Dog is observing me suspiciously… catty? Will he have to chase and kill me?
