Golden age Green Lantern foe, Solomon Grundy close up portrait with one line of text from the nursery rhyme about him: Solomon Grundy,
Born on a Monday,
Christened on Tuesday,
Married on Wednesday,
Took ill on Thursday,
Worse on Friday,
Died on Saturday,
Buried on Sunday.
This is the end
Of Solomon Grundy.

This pup has not forgotten about egg prices. Eggs are very important to him. Doesn't matter why, but it took weeks to save for this one. Thought this was a top priority. Starting to wonder if maybe that wasn't true. 12/10 (credit: u/iztek)

a fluffy white dog sits on hardwood flooring in front of a white wall. he has a single brown egg resting upright on top of his noggin. he looks up with only his eyes so as not to drop the egg. in this economy it is potentially his most valuable possession.

This is Mira. She's a Podenco Xarnego Valenciano. We're not even making that up. Very pretty and very rare. 14/10 would be an honor to pet (FB: Matilda Lindström)

a beautiful red and white dog is lying in some grass with her tall triangular ears up. she’s smiling with her mouth slightly open, and she has golden eyes on her mostly white face. her fur around her ears and neck suggests she has a little bit of fluff to her, but most of her body is out of frame.

Mira is still laying in the grass with some bright pink flowers blooming in the background. she’s looking off to the left side of the frame and squinting slightly into the sunlight as she sticks out a teensy blep of tongue. her legs are very spindly, and her back leg shows a stripe of white fur down the front while the rest is coppery red that extends to her pantaloon fluff.

a goofy grin from Mira, with her eyes squinting closed and a wide smile on her face. her collar is mostly obscured by fluff that swirls in white and red. her front right paw that’s visible is like a white ankle sock of fur at the end of her skinny red leg.

This is Zeus. He isn't mean or anything. Just thinks more people should be aware of his existence. 13/10 (TT: j90peo)

a white bull terrier stands on his wooden deck behind a black gate. he’s staring at us through the bars with a blank expression and a sturdy stance. on the outside of the gate, so passersby can see it but he can’t, there’s a sign that says “Beware: I live here” in big bold letters above a photo of the same bull terrier with the same neutral face. we get the feeling the “beware” part of that sign is overselling it a bit.
