to err is human, but to tease a dog is totally sadistic

Well. This hurts. I just came across this video that shows what happens when we dogs let people control our lives. This man is a sadist. And the poor dog is totally under his spell. If anyone out there reading this can identify this dog and the cowardly person who doesn't show his face, please let me know. I'd be happy to organize a rescue party for this poor fella. I mean really! Bacon? Steak? Chicken? Cheese? This dog is destined to go crazy! Have a look for yourself. ... Okay, maybe it's a little funny. Thanks to YouTube's Break Channel for the video.

emus make me smile

sketchbook emu

After yesterday's sad post I decided I needed something to lighten the mood. This is a pen and watercolour sketch I did at the zoo in Barao de Sao Joao. How can you look at an emu and not smile?  At least he made me smile until he poked me in the head when I was focused too much on my sketchbook and not enough on him! And if that doesn't lift your spirits, try this: the Muppets sing Oh Danny Boy
