Hatch the Tudor Dog

Spam advert, with a picture of a rat, captioned 'If you see one of these in your garden you have rats'.

It’s a rat, isn’t it?

a model of an octopus that's make of bones, which an octopus doesn;t have.

A model of a dog skeleton, with boney ear flaps and jowls

I dont know what you mean...

There was some talk about me on the day, but I think it got cut for more sciencey things.

Yes I do!

Tuesday.

Then again, I've since found out that they've only just entered the museum!

Hope they do say hello!

They did not.

That was the whole point of a sausage though, no point wasting decent meat just because it's from a less savoury body part!!

I wish!

I'm a professional, I focus on the rats.

In all seriousness though, I think they're mistaking me for the one dog who is greater than me...

I did wonder what was in all those barrels...

Fancy coming up with a name for my new friend?

Other than the ship, obviously, but I'm happy to be second to that...

You talk about me a lot because I'm the most popular thing in the museum!

A rat in the hold of a Spanish galleon

My human visited the Spanish galleon currently visiting Portsmouth, and spotted a rat in their hold.

Wonder if they want me to pop over and sort it out?

Bluesky is asking me to confirm my age.

I was on the Mary Rose - if I'm not old enough I dread to think how you lot are going to fare!

I recognise that board!

Not to mention the leg at the top of the photo...

I wonder if I can convince my lot to do one of me?

A cute dog skeleton with a birthday card that says "Happy birthday to the best"

Me reading my birthday card with a big smile on my face!

Huge thanks to my lovely friend @squigglethinks.bsky.social for sending me a birthday card!

Let me know next time you're in the area, be nice to say hello properly!

Age verification?

When I was a pup, the rhyme went

"Divorced, beheaded, died,
divorced, beheaded, current"

It's my Birthday!

Well, my discovery birthday; I was actually born in late 1543/early 1544...

That was a bit before my time, but probably not.

Nope, much happier!

Anyone know what day it is tomorrow?

Wrong breed, sadly.

I was a pink square on the Mary Rose Monopoly, but that was because there were laid out in the order you saw them in the museum, rather than by fame.

A dog's foot (skeletal edition) with missing phalanges.

The typos are remaining constant though, so that's good.

I blame my missing toe bones...

A happy dog skeleton

Sorry for the silence, it's been very busy at the museum recently!

Being this cute isn;t easy, you know...
