    Ha. Posted that “Awful Aspects of Spring” Leunig cartoon to the Book of Faces because I found a copy of it during Operation Sort Shit and it seems to have gone down like a lead balloon.
    Dear me.

        Sorry it came out tiny! Caption is “Awful aspects of spring: the new dog digs up the old dog.”

          Oh dear. Reminds me of the time I visited my parents with my old dog, and she brought us the body of one of their chickens she had just dug up. After being buried for about a week it was definitely not in good condition, but she was so incredibly proud of herself. I told her she was a good dog, swapped it for a dog treat and the chicken was re-buried in a less accessible place.

            We had a big party at one of my old share houses, so there were a few dogs. We’d buried a dead possum a week before but I can’t remember it’s fate. Probably road kill knowing that place. We had a giant backyard as our place backed onto council land and a creek. Dogs dug it and fought with it for a while well before anyone noticed. It was in a lot of places by that time and of course, the dogs stank. I may have been on halucinogens too, so it was yucky but fucking hilarious.

          Not disappointed, I’m a cat lover and this brought back a hilarious memory I shared below.
