Rupert Fawcett has always had a deep love for art—it was the one subject he truly excelled in during his school years, as academics never came naturally to him. He would spend hours absorbed in drawing. Equally important to him was humor; from a young age, comedy played a central role in his life. He looked up to comedians and funny individuals with the same admiration others reserved for pop stars.
"I only draw comics if they are relatable; otherwise, people would not enjoy them. It’s the identification that people enjoy and often say, ‘Have you got cameras in my house?’" the artist said, explaining how people connect with the everyday situations in his work.
Love my dogs but they are never allowed to lick our plates. Don’t want them getting sick from non dog safe foods
My family and I never let our girls do this because we eat a lot of garlic and onions. That does not deter the little loves from trying to lick plates we are about to wash, though! 😁
Although his cartoons often showcase the funny, endearing side of dogs, we wanted to know what he thinks makes the relationship between dogs and their owners so special. The artist explained that dogs offer unwavering love and loyalty: "Dogs give their owners unconditional love and devotion and communicate with their eyes and body language, which connects with people at a deep level."
Our dog is a livestock guardian breed. He does tend to plant himself where he interferes with all traffic - from the *human* point of view. I strongly suspect that it's an ingrained behavior for him to 'occupy a defensive position' where he's able to intercept as many incoming threats as possible. Ren is a good boy, and takes his duty *very* seriously. (If he thinks he's 'on the job', he will not even accept treats. He waits until he's 'off the clock', and then treats are definitely fair game.) Ren-Belly-...ee3efc.jpg
Ren is a handsome boy! Now that I can finally see images on BP mobile...

But this way they can snoozle and be a part of the action at the same time. Dogs are smart yo.
Many of Rupert’s comics reveal that what you thought was your dog’s unique quirk might actually be something lots of dogs do. With that in mind, we asked if he ever thinks twice about whether certain behaviors are too specific to be widely understood. He explained, "Some dogs have individual behaviors, but I don’t depict them as most people wouldn’t connect. I like to draw behaviors that are universally recognized."
This is my problem when I'm in bed after I swore years ago that I'd never let the dogs upstairs let alone in the bedroom
We had a jack Russell, we never underestimated her power and strength. She had infection in her front leg and had to have the leg removed, but the vet said that has soon as she came round from the anaesthetic, she was trying to get up. Has soon has she came home she was running around, a bit wobbly but determined
Jacks are the best but I no longer have the energy to wrangle one

... an intelligent career woman who's allowed to let her hair down from time to time ...
We have to spell certain favorite words in order for our girls not to figure out what my family and I are saying sometimes! Anytime we have accidentally said the favorite words without meaning to do so, they are demanding that they receive their preferred items or engage in their preferred activities immediately, even if they know “”it’s not time yet.“
And if you learn a foreign language to talk in, within a month your canine chum will understand it too. Duolingo for dogs, anyone ?
Every time I get up at night to go to the bathroom I have to shove our d*****s of the bed to get back in.
Okay, what word is BP absurdly censoring this time?
