Terrier Britannicus sum
























A fragment of floor from a Roman villa in England.........
Roman legions marched the lengths and breadths of Britain, feeling the cold round their Italian knees. Meanwhile the EBT sits about on mosaic pavements waiting for dinner.

A Greek Myth.......

























Europa (for this is she) was according to legend abducted by Zeus in the form of a bull and taken to Crete where the bull was central to the sacred culture.
Oft told tales have the tendency to corrupt the truth. Straining behind the leash, the light wind teasing her Grecian curls and tugging at her chiton she may just have provoked mild amusement as she was tugged along the seafront at Heraklion behind a pair of determined bull terriers.....

Another gent at his club......

This is the usual sort of carry on at a gentleman's club or so we are led to believe. Clearly, the Terriers' is not this sort of establishment

Introducing the real Sparky.....






































This week Sparky in set to squash all speculation about his identity by publishing this photo (which shows his best side). He might also say that the shadow reinforces that iconic profile if he were not so modest.
Here he is relaxing on his English lawn after a few morning's press-ups to keep him in splendid shape.


Sparky currently lives in Cheshire, England. He likes toast with Marmite, sleeping in the sun and is very fast over short distances or if there is a cat involved.


Generous in spirit, he likes to share his observations on life. These are available as postcards http://www.etsy.com/listing/90917709/sparkys-tips-postcard-set-6-postcards-in

Watch our for more of his advice coming soon....

Some tails from ancient Greece
























Well, I think I must have nodded off on this sofa in the depths of the Club library. The weighty tome that was keeping me riveted has slipped onto the Persian rug. That's what a little culture, a warm fire and deep upholstery does for you......


I will skip hastily through a few millennia to the heart of civilisation where here we see fragments of early Greek pottery. The evidence, you must agree, is mounting.
