What fun! I’m an animal nut anyway, so this week’s topic is perfect for me, even if I did tweak it to suit myself.
- Snoopy, of course!
2. Rosa the Duck in Louise Penny’s Chief Inspector Gamache series
3. Rex in The Queen’s Corgi [movie]
4. Garfield, the original grumpy cat! Comic strip, t.v. specials, big-time movies. [And from Muncie, Indiana!]
5. In remembrance of Geoffrey Palmer, who died last week, Dexter, the dog who adopts Lionel in As Time Goes By [T.V.], but is happily reunited with his owner.
6. Cyril the dog with a gold tooth from Alexander McCall Smith’s 44 Scotland Street series.
7. Triki Woo, the pampered Pekeniese and his pig “brother,” Nugent in the James Herriot All Creatures Great and Small books.
8. Brutus the Great Dane who thought he was a Dachshund in The Ugly Dachshund.
8. Isis, the politically incorrect Labrador of Downton Abbey‘s early seasons.
Butler Angus Hudson with the Rt. Hon. Richard Bellamy (later Lord Bellamy)
10. One of the writers of the original Upstairs, Downstairs series had labs named Hudson and Bellamy. Perfect (to the new generation, think Carson and Crawley).
Check out the rules at That Artsy Reader Girl and join in next week!
Snoopy and Garfield should totally live in the same home. 🙂

I love the way you chose the names, and they are very appropriate. https://pmprescott.blogspot.com/2020/11/ttt-111720.html

Honestly the Queen’s Corgi movie is probably not that funny, but it sure looks cute …

I have only watched the trailers but Trump is in it. He tells his female dog to “grab some puppy” Yeah. The reviewer didn’t even like that but he did absolutely LOVE Prince Philip.

Garfield is such a classic. I feel like my love for ginger cats might have something to do with the movie 😋

He’s from my hometown and my early copies of the comic strip books are signed. I took a little stuffed Garfield to college with me back when licensed character toys were a novelty! Seems like a million years ago.
Thanks for reading!

There’s a book called The Ugly Dachshund? I LOVE IT! My mother-in-law is obsessed with those wiener dogs. I think they’re ugly.

There is a book, that is the Disney movie from the 1960s though in the picture. It’s wonderful.

What a fun twist on this week’s post! I love it. I’m ashamed to say I don’t know any of the literary pet references — it looks like I need to do more reading. I want to know why Cyril has a gold tooth! XD But Snoopy and Garfield? I’m so down. I’d add to this list Lying Cat from Saga, Wilbur from Charlotte’s Web, and Polynesia from Doctor Dolittle.
My TTT post!
