fungus | The Adventures of Bitey Dog

Look what that stupid “rabbit” did to my mulch. Harrumph. – Murphy

I thought it was rain that brought out the Electric Mustard Mulch Puke (Dog Barf Fungus), but it turned out that it needs heat to really bloom. Like most of the country we’ve had more than our share of that this week. Fortunately Murphy doesn’t show much of an interest in the fungus. (I know a certain other pup who would have tempted fate by tasting it.)

******************************

A good way to spend these miserably hot days of summer is to stay indoors reading Dream Our World! (Plus, proceeds help Murphy’s Biscuit Fund.)

Inside, Geordie and Toby view the world of art from a canine perspective while enjoying a day of unsupervised fun. There are a lot of hidden stories inside Dream Our World, and it is a joy for all ages. Treat yourself to a summer read that is both fun and educational!

Dream Our World, and other fine gifts, are available from my shop at L Bowman Studios.

That is the scientific name for this stuff, isn’t it?

This is the latest addition to the list of things I need to keep Toby from eating. So far he has been pretty good about it, but he does keep trying to eat the mulch. I worry that this might happen again:

Blecch...This is not the "trip" they promised in the brochure!

Why do you keep picking on me? I’ve been good lately.

To catch up on what my stinky boys have been up to when they are not visiting the museum, pick up a copy of Poopiter. Poopiter tells the illustrated tales of the meeting of Bitey Dog and Toby and their adventures during their first year together.

Poopiter is available from Amazon.
