Still Happy!
My goodness. Its been a busy weekend.
After much preparation and hand-wringing (and mop wringing!) Marcel has made it to his splendid new temporary home! It was a pretty smooth transition, if slightly disorienting, but in all I think he is digging his new digs. For one thing, the people bed is at small dog height, even if the narrow passage between couch and table, which leads to the bed area, is off-putting due to the slippery wood floor. Nonetheless our boy has shunned the fluffy, spanking new dog bed, the one he test-drove himself at Petsmart. In fact it was the only one he deigned to jump into on the floor of the Petsmart, the others got a cursory sniff and a wave of the paw. But in the end it is the Uncle-scented people bed that will win out every time! Believe it! Even if it means being stranded for several hours with no water, the floor is that scary. Furniture arrangement is being modified even as we type! Not to worry!
In any event, we are eternally grateful to Marcel's Uncle Wininger for giving a needy little dog a happy place to park his patas! And plus a bonus warm lap to sleep on under the computer desk! A very sensitive Boston Terrier could get used to this sort of lifestyle. Yes, indeedy.
There is another bonus which we are also incredibly delighted by, Marcel has a new best canine pal, Skipper, a 6 year old bichon frise with a sweet (and romantic!) disposition, and regal tail plumage of the finest quality. Much romping about the garden (Skipper belongs to Dawn, the landlady, who has a wonderful garden which includes much whimsical statuary as well as birdhouses in all shapes and sizes, and flowers! Oh, the flowers!) has already begun, and plus sharing of cookies al fresco! The two have found a favorite mutual pastime, chasing one another the length of the backyard path, which connects to the first floor hallway, into Dawn's house, skidding to a stop at the front door, and then its all the way back again to the garage, with tongues and at least one tail wagging.
And now, for your pleasure, a rare visual treat! In honor of summer and Marcel's happy new living arrangement, (with thanks for scanning services to you know who you are!) I give you a preview of the new Duchamp! issue. Enjoy!

Oh, the palpable happiness! I'm so glad the noble Marcel has a new home. Good luck to him.

I love the Marcel drawings. He looks like a happy and a very loved little doggo. David Letterman gave an ode to dogs last night that was very special.
