this is the first time I ever saw Adonis. I had messaged a local rescue to inquire about a different, unavailable cat. the rescue messaged me back saying they had this sweet orange boy who is very hurt and just needed a place to recover, even as a temporary foster home, would we be interested?
Sun, Feb 16 at 8:04 PM Hi Caitlin. This is our orange boy, Rocky. There are more posts or FB/IG where you can see his injury on the other side. Remarkably, he is FIV negative. He is an option for foster to adopt if you are open to that. Michele Hi Michele! Can you tell me more about Rocky? I saw he had surgery on his side, was it an abscess? Hi Caitlin. We trapped him outside. Someone had been feeding Buddy (another cat you may have seen on FB/IG) and Rocky, but they were pretty beat up. Given how friendly they are, they must have been someone's pet at some point, but they were not neutered. I don't think he had an abscess. My understanding is that he had open wounds and that the drain is placed temporarily to allow for faster healing. The drain is supposed to remain for five days, I think. I can connect you to the volunteer who is caring for him if you want. She can tell you more details. orange cat bloodied in the snow orange cat with wounds on his shoulder and face

Saint Benedict restores a strangely miniature monk to life after he was crushed by a falling wall. From the predella of Lorenzo Monaco's Coronation of the Virgin altarpiece.

When you just can't get enough of the gold: polyptych of the enthroned Madonna and saints, 1410, by Lorenzo Monaco. It's been his day today.

Morning! Do any fellow historic building fans have a copy of Pevsner’s Nottinghamshire guide that they could kindly consult for me? Looking for info on The Friary/Shalem House, in Newark. Got the listing description but know it’s in Pevsner too. Thanks! ☺️
This is in a fab panelled room in there…🤩

Church of St Odulph, Pillaton, Cornwall

15th Century granite west tower. Of 3 stages, with buttresses set back from the corners, an embattled parapet & pinnacles.

The Weary Friar pub perhaps dates to the 12th Century. There may be monastic links or former use as a church house.

#SteepleSaturday
The buildings of the pub are at right angles with the church tower between them.

Gangnam Style 1493.
A man, likely a hunter, with two dogs as part of an illuminated manuscript page. The man raises an arm, and this makes him look like a dancer. The detail is from the breviarum Augustanum 1493 made by Erhard Ratdolt.

Bronze pennanular brooch with inlaid terminals, circa AD 450-550, was the latest object deposited in the Spring at Bath.
Late Roman, probably made in Ireland; birds and fish on the terminals might be associated with the goddess Sulis Minerva.

A very good boy! 🐾🐕😍

An amazing c. 3,400 year-old ancient Egyptian dog carved from ivory. This leaping dog opens and closes its mouth as if barking by using a lever below its chest.

The Met 📷 by me

#Archaeology
My photo shows a three quarter profile of an ancient Egyptian figurine of a leaping dog facing left. Carved from ivory, now a warm caramel brown colour with glossy surface. The dogs eyes are outlined in black, the ears are floppy, the mouth is slightly ajar (the inside of the mouth is painted red - not sen in my photo). The front and back legs are outstretched as if running at full speed. A lever under the dog’s chest opens and closes the mouth so that the dog looks as if it’s barking. Dimensions: L 18.2 cm × H 6.1 cm × W 3.6 cm. Dated to Late Dynasty I8, I400-I350 BC, reign of Amenhotep III who was Tutankhamun’s grandfather. The dog is mounted on a thin metal rod in a display case. In the background in the same display case is a ‘galloping’ brown horse, which is the handle of an ancient Egyptian fly whisk or light whip.

She is the lady of drunkenness, the queen of the dance. She stabs the enemy, drives back the rebels, kills off the enemies in the place of internment; she is Sekhmet the great, who has power over the masses--the countless crowd trembles upon seeing her. (OGC)
