Richie - Terrier Daschund mix
Nothing much cuter than a big head on short legs. He's like a walking tissue box cozy. (Did you know tissue box cozies came out of the fifties from too many afternoon tranq and cocktail solo parties mixed with too much leftover acrylic yarn. Okay, maybe that's not true but really, why else would any sane person knit a sweater for a tissue box?) Calm, highly huggable personality to go along with that.

Adorable! I do believe he is sticking out his tongue in the last photo!
ReplyDeleteCosies are an invention of mid-Victorian Britian, meant to keep the pot warm for afternoon tea. They quickly became a popular way of covering any object the gentry considered a bit declassé. Antimacassars appeared about the same time, to keep air oil from staining the furniture.
ReplyDeletethink your theory is right on -- just wrong period. Too many Victorian ladies brought up to shudder at any sign of dirt or disorder, with too much time on their hands, and no creative outlet.
I think, from the look in his eye, he'd more ikely rip the tissue box apart and scatter the tissue all over the room, then blame the cat.
sweet little thing ... gives lots of kisses!!!
ReplyDeleteDid he get adopted, I don't see him on the site.
ReplyDeleteWas he adopted? I don't see him on the web page.
ReplyDeleteAnon, last I heard his neuter site got infected or something. He'll be back in adoption as soon as it's healed.
