The kitchen dresser was made locally and displays a Picasso bullfight ceramic on the top shelf and pieces of Wemyss ware together with other peasant-type pottery.

I bring on this day, another batch of ten dogs.
I’m almost through the A breeds, there’s three left, I can sense, progress.
I’ve missed three days so far in these first 20. I try and not skip too often but my main goal really is to also not burn myself out and get through them all.

For those of you who have played the demo and wondered what the "creepy dog statue" Holmes has is, my intention is that it's a pottery Staffordshire dog. They look like this.
I've always found them really unnerving.

In Three Men in a Boat, Jerome K Jerome imagines what people 200 years in the future will think of them...
That china dog that ornaments the bedroom of my furnished lodgings.  It is a white dog.  Its eyes blue.  Its nose is a delicate red, with spots.  Its head is painfully erect, its expression is amiability carried to verge of imbecility.  I do not admire it myself.  Considered as a work of art, I may say it irritates me.  Thoughtless friends jeer at it, and even my landlady herself has no admiration for it, and excuses its presence by the circumstance that her aunt gave it to her. But in 200 years’ time it is more than probable that that dog will be dug up from somewhere or other, minus its legs, and with its tail broken, and will be sold for old china, and put in a glass cabinet.  And people will pass it round, and admire it.  They will be struck by the wonderful depth of the colour on the nose, and speculate as to how beautiful the bit of the tail that is lost no doubt was. We, in this age, do not see the beauty of that dog.  We are too familiar with it.  It is like the sunset and the stars: we are not awed by their loveliness because they are common to our eyes.  So it is with that china dog.  In 2288 people will gush over it.  The making of such dogs will have become a lost art.  Our descendants will wonder how we did it, and say how clever we were.  We shall be referred to lovingly as “those grand old artists that flourished in the nineteenth century, and produced those china dogs.”

bully positive zone

pretty sure op turned off reblogs literally as i was researching & typing this so, making my own post:
some facts about pit bulls / similar bully breeds!
pit bulls account for about 1/3 of studied dog bites
they are also very common dogs and much more likely to be abused and neglected than other dog breeds
84% of violent incidents involve a dog that was abused or neglected
94% of violent incidents involve a dog that was an intact male, which experience significantly more aggression than neutered males
the breed standard temperament is confident, excited, eager to please, and extremely friendly toward humans, and the only ''typical'' aggression is against other dogs (which can be avoided with proper socialization). it is not normal for pit bulls to be aggressive toward humans
they are much less likely to be adopted, spending an average of 3x as long in shelters as other dog breeds, and are much more likely to be euthanized than other dog breeds. they are considered undesirable due to public stigma
(sources: 1, 2, 3, 4)
in this house we love bully breeds and hate stigma <3

Oh, and before I forget! A Marshall’s in Vancouver had these 9” reproduction Staffordshire dogs in their home section, and tbh… I thought I was hallucinating. I really can’t overstate how floored I was to see these sitting there? And my vindication too, because Zoey is always openly mocking me for mine. I guess they’re trendy now (again, rather)? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I flipped them both ever to check the price… $8!!!! Unsure if they’re stateside or not but it might be worth looking for anyone who has ever messaged me about wanting some! So cheap. And for the cost, these are really excellent (and cute!) dupes.
