A departure from my normal Picture Parades.
Simply because a good friend, Neil, from my English days down in Devon, sent me a cartoon that I wanted to share with you all.
Wonderful!
Dogs are animals of integrity. We have much to learn from them.

A departure from my normal Picture Parades.
Simply because a good friend, Neil, from my English days down in Devon, sent me a cartoon that I wanted to share with you all.
Wonderful!
A reprint of the second picture parade.
This was published on the August 3rd, 2013. Nothing to do with dogs but some great photographs nonetheless.
More photographs courtesy of Neil Kelly, Devon.

Couldn’t wait for a future picture parade to share these with you.
They are all of Dartmouth, Devon.

Before we know it, it will be summer and all of this will be forgotten!
Just a few memories of the last week.
Our English guests, Mark and Debbie, who stayed with us after traveling to Warm Springs, South-East of Portland, Oregon, to view the eclipse took the following three photographs.

If you will allow this old Brit to recognise the 4th July!
Speaking of Brits, the following was sent to me by Neil, a close friend from my previous days living in South Devon, England.
Perfect!
Thanks Neil!
Two views of teaching in the United Kingdom.
The title to today’s post may be a tad misleading, for it doesn’t offer a guide to both aspects of the post.
But first to what prompted the title.
Earlier yesterday, Neil Kelly, friend from my days when I was living in South Devon, sent me a link to a recent BBC News item. Here’s the story:
Maggie the dog made honorary primary school teacher
28 December 2015 Last updated at 04:31 GMT
A dog has become so successful in helping children to read, that she has become an honorary member of staff at a school in the West Midlands.
“The best laid plans of mice and men.”
Following yesterday’s post about Ellesmere Island and the white wolves, I had plans to write more about the history of the wolf and the dog. (Oh, and thank you so much for the great way you all reacted to yesterday’s post.)
But events transpired to get in the way.
We were longer in Grants Pass in the morning than anticipated, then it was time for a quick lunch, get the fire going again, go through a rather bulging inbox, and then I was in the mood to start the post. I stood up to stretch and noticed that the deer that we feed most days were waiting impatiently.
So outside to put down some feed for the deer, then hover around, just captivated by them, decide to grab the camera from indoors and take a picture,
then, while I was outside realised that I ought to bring some logs in for the fire, and …… you get the scene, I’m sure.
I sat down at my PC to start the post and knew that I was stressing about there not being enough time to do it justice.
Gave myself a talking to about writing a blog was not something to stress about and looked for a ‘fill-in’ for today.
Opened an email recently sent to me from long-time UK friend, Neil Kelly, and discovered Neil had included in the email the most wonderful, evocative, serenely beautiful photograph of a rambler from calmer, more peaceful times. It really had to be shared with you.
Probably need to be the wrong side of 50 to enjoy this.
If you don’t understand the post title, here’s a picture of an old manual typewriter.

Now to the video, kindly sent to me by Neil Kelly.
Note: don’t look away as the video runs for just five seconds!
Keep having those wonderful Sundays!
First, the last four of the gorgeous pictures sent to me by Cynthia Gomez. If you missed last week’s pictures, then here they are.

Two very different styles but equally enjoyable, don’t you think.
It’s also appropriate for me to say a huge thanks to Cynthia, Neil and so many others who send me ideas, stories and pictures.
Thank you so much. Not just on behalf of me but on behalf of so many others who follow Learning from Dogs.
Last set, courtesy of Neil Kelly.

So the last of these wonderfully creative pictures. Can you think of a cute caption?
Do offer a comment if one comes to mind.
