10 Oct is #WorldDogDay 
The exquisite #Lanuvium basrelief shows #Antinous as #Dionysus or #Aristaeus/#Silvanus, harvesting grapes, as a dog looks up at him adoringly. And who can blame it? Antinous adores dogs! More: https://antinousgaygod.blogspot.com/2024/10/antinous-loved-animals.html #InternationalDogDay
10 Oct is #WorldDogDay : In October 130 AD, #Antinous and #Hadrian visited #Mennefer/Memphis Egypt. They must have seen the #Anubieion Temple of #Anubis at Saqqara. Archaeologists have found 9 million dog mummies there. More: https://antinousstars.blogspot.com/2024/08/nine-million-mummified-dogs-found-at.html #internationaldogday

Wait it’s #InternationalDogDay? Well, you know what that means! Have a dog picture!
Why did I not post about #InternationalDogDay? In your heart, you already know the answer: it is a completely fake, made-up holiday. Even Hallmark doesn’t make cards for it.

My mini poodle. Perfect in every way except one—he’s a finicky eater (not food motivated so training was a process 
)
Just realized I never edited this photo and it’s just right. Hotcha! #NationalDogDay #InternationalDogDay
Since I heard it is #NationalDogDay and also #InternationalDogDay I thought I’d share a fun little street photo of a fierce little guy in Flagstaff Arizona from a month ago. He had just royally scared off Drew who was passing in his wheelchair and said just said hello when I asked the owner if I could get a picture. She said I could try but he’s really not good with strangers. So I said Hi there! and clicked. Doesn’t look like a gangster, does he?
I almost missed #InternationalDogDay … give a scritch and a treat to your own little beasts.
