A dog’s tale

Some of you were surprised I knew about Mondrian. So, I’ll tell you a dog’s tale.

When I was first adopted, before I learnt how to behave indoors, I lived in a cardboard box on the verandah. (Note: Yorkshire folk please refrain for saying ‘luxury lad, when I was a kid....). Back then the folks lived in a big house.

Shortly after I arrived, the Sparrow decided to do a Mondrian ceiling on the verandah and I spent days watching and listening while she did it.

At the same time I was learning to pee outside and recovering from an orchidectomy, so it is deeply etched in my memory!
