Parlour games....

Lockdown has been quite trying but at least we have entertainment at the flick of a switch.
Spare a thought for the Victorian dog pictured above. On those long winter evenings when everyone tiring of charades and chase the feather, turned their attention towards the family pet (above) transformed into a demon dog with careful use of bandoline, paint and a few wafers...........
A bull terrier shouldn't stand for it!
Card is from my other shop on Etsy, the Hanky Heiress which is sometimes but not always dog free.

a quick pick me up.......

A terrier with balloons never fails to cheer........

Inspired by a true story...........

A sketch in progress on a cheese theme (popular with the canine classes). I had a dog who knew when we were merely considering eating some cheese and nowhere near the kitchen..........

Harmless entertainment......

I have posted this link to the Nobel Prize Pavlov's Dog game  before  - https://educationalgames.nobelprize.org/educational/medicine/pavlov/pavlov.htmlhttps://educationalgames.nobelprize.org/educational/medicine/pavlov/pavlov.html
but it is still very amusing and a useful entertainment which never fails to keep me amused. Ideal for these troubled times. It may not even be a bull terrier, (but I think it is........)

From a terrier's perspective......

Looking for entertainment, I have chanced upon more Bull terriers in the public eye. The British Film Institute ( https://player.bfi.org.uk/) has an impressive collection of archive film as you might expect. Log in for free, go to collections and under the heading Cats V Dogs is a charming 1943 government film encouraging people to stub out their cigarettes properly featuring a bull terrier............

More capers in the park from the Terriers' Club......... shop has now reopened for business in the UK only thanks to the wonders of online postage!

Meanwhile in the park.........

Lockdown has meant that I have had to temporarily close my Etsy shop. Apologies to all customers past and present. I will reopen when I can get supplies with greater certainty and it is safe to resume. 
The plus side is that I have more time to draw. I will publish my scribblings on this blog, with a view to turning them into cards for the shop when I reopen.

Meanwhile, the dogs here in Cowes, Isle of Wight are oblivious to lockdown. I've never lived anywhere with so many happy dogs, having fun in the park or on the seafront.
Here's a couple of bull terriers in convivial mode.......
