Hatch the Tudor Dog

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?

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...

Yes, I know he's not actually Superman...

About time we had a dog playing Superman!

Not one of mine, I should add.

Even if it was installed during the refit of 1536, that's still eight years before I was born!

I want one of these - being behind glass means I can only get boops, not pats.

Of course, the main difference between me and the Titanic's dogs is that I didn't rap, while the Titanic's... well, see for yourself.

Shame, would be nice to meet the Titanic's dogs!

Can I be the obligatory non-muppet actor?

Did you know that the premiere of Superman IV: The Quest for Peace was a fundraising gala for the Mary Rose Trust?

Of course I'm a dinosaur, no other animals have skeletons afer all...

What do you mean 'Imagine' I'm a good boy?

I should hope not. I was rooting for Ana, she seemed like she was actually enjoying herself.

My mum was a whippet! That's what caused the confusion, I inherited her long legs and, as they discovered later, her brindle coat.

Other than that though, I'm very terrier-y.

Believe me, I saw the look in the eyes of the vet who was dragged over to meet me by a whippet breeders group who said "that's a whippet, right?", but had recognised my terrier traits.

Not seen fear like that since, well, you know...
