#Turnspit dog

The Turnspit "Canis vertagus" and the Pug "Le Doguin"

There are two breeds of the turnspit, the one having the forelegs straight, and the other with them crooked. Both are long-backed, short-legged, strange looking animals, and are now rarely kept except as curiosities. Formerly, however, the turnspit had the honour of turning the roast-beef of Old England j but since machinery has been substituted for his fore-paws, Othello’s occupation’s gone. He’s no longer.

"---- a dog that turns the spit,

Bestirs himself, and plies his feet

To climb the wheel; but all in vain,

His own weight brings him back again,

And still he's in the self-same place

Where, at his setting out, he was." (Hudibras)

The right-hand figure in the above engraving represents the pug, a common pet dog a few years ago, but now seldom seen.

So it has probably been with the turnspit dog; and this is known to have been the case with with ancon sheep.

If the ironic-punishment-for-all-eternity version of hell exists, then there is a nonzero number of British chefs down there being forced to run on giant wheels, never getting a break, breathing in smoke while crooked legged dogs throw hot coals at their feet

#are turnspit dogs common knowledge or is this post guaranteed to flop

The Turnspit Dog, also known as Kitchen Dog, Underdog, Cooking dog or Vernepator Cur, was a dog breed used as a kitchen tool, as a machine in the households of Great Britain in 16th, 17th and 18th century. In this video i will tell you all you need to know about the history of the Turnspit dog.

If I remember correctly you said that baby Jack had to be held a lot because he was so clumsy. Would Matt have been big enough to do the same when he first meets him. You could get the family tradition of older siblings carrying their younger ones around everywhere. Let Matt get adorable little germlins to carry.

I did! And I've actually thought about this. The little things that carry from person to person. If Australia is a consequence of the American revolution, he also saw the turn of Matt from younger brother to older brother. What Matt knows about any concept of family, he learned at Alfred's elbow. Peak indulgence for Matt is when it was cold and Matt was small, Alfred would heft him up and carry him places. So picking up Jack? Hell yeah. Jack was very sturdy even for a young child but Matt was in his early teens in the regency era. Wee Jack gave him anxiety. All children are little shits, bouncing off and into mischief and being clumsy but even by that standard Jack is chaotic. Where Matt was a very self contained child who could be put into the corner and given books or blocks or even nothing and he'd occupy himself, Jack is a curious wee thing. He always has questions, he always wants to hear music, he always wants to chat, and play and move. Baby's first labour strike was protesting until the turnspit dog gets friends. He liberated the chicken's Matt's in charge of, let the goats loose and set the parlour on fire because he got bored and tried to figure out how the oil lamps worked. He broke so many priceless antiques that Arthur may or may not have stolen.

In early 19th century Georgian society where childhood is newly important but Jack's still a third rate penal colony at the end of the world, he's kind of miserable and everyone would want to indulge him, stuck half the world away from everything and everyone he's ever known in the miserable libertine environment that is regency England, It's a strange thing, for Matt to be a brother again, much less with one that will be so briefly this wriggly and adorable before shooting up within a century to end up about 20 kilos bulkier than him.

The image of Matt as his anxious but fairly normal 1805 self popping Jack up onto a hip he doesn't have enough of to keep him there and then doing the same thing in 10 years when he's gone back to setting fire and committing war crimes against Americans is so fitting. Like it doesn't matter what anyone thinks, they're stuck together. Also its so goddamn funny to think of Matt like "I just set the White House on fire, I am not in the mood for children." And Jack and Zee don't give a flying fuck, they have a book for him to read and the aren't leaving him be until he fucken reads it. He's grumpy about it, even though he knows he'll prize those memories long after the relationships themselves have been resigned too history.

Summary: “Will Graham,” Beverly says, some secret joy chasing across her face - the proverbial kid that’s found where her parents hid the Christmas gifts.

Will closes his mouth tight in a grimace - thinks about how he will explain this. If he should have to at all. If he’s just going to tell her to shove off for being nosy this time the way he wasn’t when they were introduced.
