Photo of 5 dog figurines in profile facing to the left in a staggered line. The closest one is reddish, the three in the middle are beige, and the furthest is dark grey. Each one has a cuneiform inscription on their side.

For anyone wondering, some possible dog names have survived from cuneiform sources.

On tiny dog figurines found buried under a palace in Nineveh, Iraq are inscriptions that seem to be names.

A street with shops to the left and forecourt parking and a fairly wide footway, but a bit cluttered with a glass phone box at the rear and a bin and a lighting column to the front. There are cycle lanes on the road to the right and the lighting column has a triangular cycle warning sign.

We had @mrdannyw.bsky.social showing us a terrible footway-blocking advert sign.

Here's how I dealt with a well-known telecoms company on such a site.

There was a phone box which said company wanted to remove because it was old, but they also made money from the advertising space.
