Never enough coffee and I wonder what Jonathan Burton has against itWell - erm - I’m not sure what I did… but… fabulous intro @Snausages, and hello to my Les Bles twin!
(All I can say is that there was not enough coffee yesterday )

Isn’t he a Brit? In which case, it’s not that he’s against coffee, but rather that he’s for tea. It’s practically a cultural requirementNever enough coffee and I wonder what Jonathan Burton has against it
The earrings are a perfect go-with, and the cat in the window is very on-theme! Hope your car is ok in the snow - I lived in NYC for several years and it took quite a few winters before I started missing snowPower scarf Selle des Steppes gave me power today, but not quite enough to power up the snowy hill I was stuck on! I had to leave my car in a remote location but at least my scarf is safe inside with me.

Lovely post, Lellabelle, and sending goid thoughts for your beloved pup’s successful surgery. ❤️You’re right! No bunnies, or cats, that I can find on Animapolis. That is a surprise, given the menagerie of mischief contained there. There are dogs though. 18 of them, to be precise. Can you find them all?
I have dogs on my mind, as my dear old boy is in for surgery today, which is always a worry, especially at his age. Wish us luck.
Animapolis then, is the scarf I choose for today. On theme, and a favourite for my very favourite boy while he’s at the Veterinary hospital. Excuse the hoodie; I am dressed for practicality today.

Jan Bajtlik included an homage to Kluska, his dog, who is a central character and who appears repeatedly through the design. There are 18 Kluskas in Animapolis, including a dear one with Jan himself. Kluska makes an appearance in many of Jan’s designs.

For anyone who wants to join the hunt, archive web pic below. It’s the charity SE edition (I don’t own it, but I wish I did: it’s a grail of mine!). Including this for anyone who wants to play, as I think it’s the clearest CW for finding Kluska!

I will post the answers later today, so as not spoil the fun for anyone who wants to join in. Can you find them all?
Thank you so much @KarenskaLovely post, Lellabelle, and sending goid thoughts for your beloved pup’s successful surgery. ❤️
Brava, @Lellabelle! Thank you for the "Where's Kluska" version of Where's Waldo (the book that made all parents go cross-eyed). This was a lot of fun and thank you for the work and for figuring out the posting trick. Most of all I am so relieved to hear that your dear old guy is home and recovering!And, it works, so here’s where to find cheeky little Kluska… (click to reveal)

Even if it’s a routine dental it’s always nerve wracking when they’re under. Glad he’s back home and getting TLCThank you, dear @Snausages. He’s out of recovery and just home. Still very much out of it, so I’m cuddled with him while he sleeps off some of the meds.
Now you’re making me wonder if he has rabbits in all his designs…Here is another rabbit on Le Canada - KO likes rabbits apparently))

Thank you so much @LKBNOLA. He’s a 12 year old mastiff, and is at the VERY large end of the spectrum, at a little over 90 kilos. Any kind of medical intervention at his age is risky, but it was necessary. He’s home, and getting lots of love. He is just the most wonderful boy and we adore him.Brava, @Lellabelle!

He had a benign tumour that had come to end of life and needed to be removed as it was degenerating and at risk of ulceration and infection. It was a sizeable lump, and they had to go quite deep to get it. Internal stitches, plus 7 staples to hold the incision together. He’s too old and too large for a general anaesthetic, so they had to do the whole thing under local and sedation. He’s an absolute trooper.Even if it’s a routine dental it’s always nerve wracking when they’re under. Glad he’s back home and getting TLC
