It’s Deerhound! She’s featured a few times in the Fears stories. I love the idea of a giant Scottish-deerhound with antlers walking across the landscape.
I’m adamant once I’m earning enough money we’re getting a Scottish deerhound. They’re lovely dogs. Gentle giants with pokey faces.
This, of course, has my missus in tears of laughter. I’ve spent the last 15 years of my life being kicked out of bed by Jack Russell Terriers. But that’s unfair. Anyone who’s owned a terrier can attest, the little sods can stretch in bed to in-human sizes. Well, in-dog sizes? Whatever. They can take up more space in bed than a horse when they want too.
As I finish typing this, Lily, a Jack Russell cross, just shoved me off my chair. OK, maybe the missus has a point…
Bonus dog-pictures.
Shout out to Kathy of Kathy of London for new patronage this morning. You’ll find photography, poetry and pecking birds on her blog, so if you fancy any of the above, give her a visit. Cheers, Kat!
Cheers to Kathy & Warren for the $10 Patronage. You can find me on Ko Fi, Patreon, Etsy, Amazon, Skillshare and Threadless.
Good luck with the bed struggle. I house sat to watch my friends’ dogs. They were medium sized dogs and managed to muscle me to the bed’s edge and I couldn’t shift them. Had to trick them by jumping out of bed. They got excited and did too and then a leapt back into the center of the bed.

Don’t be fooled, they’re vicious killers! I’ve picked up the remains of many a dead stuffed toy.

I can attest to how much space dogs can take up when they’re stretching out. I have two big dogs and have been literally shoved out of their way.

Big dogs can be a bother. When my two Russells had a retriever, not comfy spots (or food) was safe.

I am now disappointed to find out that deerhounds are not really deers, and they don’t have antlers in real life…
Thanks for the dog pics. I have a West Highland Terrier, and they sure like taking up space to be close to their human. Hahaha.

My cat has started putting her paws under the duvet and clawing at my legs to wake me up.. She’s smaller than a Jack Russell but equally cheeky

Ooof! Kitty claws are a million-billion times sharper than doggos. You have my deepest sympathy for the loss of your legs. 😦

I now have puncture wounds all up and down my legs from her. If I turn over she just claws another bit, right knee, left ankle….
