Trying to decipher the top part - I always thought the upper part of the head was the ears, but it looks like he's turned it into part of the skull, leaving the long bit for the jaw.

No, just establishing what we already knew.

Clavicular just cracked the code: JESTERMAXXING at the club is officially the new meta. Forget the “mysterious guy in the corner” trope or the “stiff-arm drink hold.” We are entering the era of high-energy, zero-ego, chaotic fun. If you aren’t the reason the floor is laughing, are you even living?

They say the key to a good selfie is to take it from above, as it makes you look younger, smaller and thinner. However, I'm already small and thin, and no camera angle is going to hide nearly 480 years! #MuseumSelfieDay 🐶🐾😙📱📷

A cute skeleton dog. Might delete later.

5000 years ago a good boy was buried in Sweden. Just a pup really, perhaps an accident, maybe he died a hero, perhaps he was chosen to go play fetch with the gods. Either way, a good boy, a very rare boy. news.cision.com/se/arkeologe...

Apparently I'm on a "Prehistoric Adventure", not sure what Google could mean by that, unless the AI it's using can't tell the difference between a dog and a dinosaur...

It’s a rat, isn’t it?

My human visited the Spanish galleon currently visiting Portsmouth, and spotted a rat in their hold. Wonder if they want me to pop over and sort it out?

Bluesky is asking me to confirm my age. I was on the Mary Rose - if I'm not old enough I dread to think how you lot are going to fare!

Huge thanks to my lovely friend @squigglethinks.bsky.social for sending me a birthday card! Let me know next time you're in the area, be nice to say hello properly!

Age verification? When I was a pup, the rhyme went "Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, current"

It's my Birthday! Well, my discovery birthday; I was actually born in late 1543/early 1544...

Sorry for the silence, it's been very busy at the museum recently! Being this cute isn;t easy, you know...

Not one of mine, I should add. Even if it was installed during the refit of 1536, that's still eight years before I was born!

I want one of these - being behind glass means I can only get boops, not pats.

Has it really been 15 years since I was displayed at #Crufts? Yes, you read that right. Me, a 477+ year old mongrel, got invited to Crufts. Dreams can come true... maryrose.org/blog/looking...

I keep saying that last bit, but it's always "we've got 19,000 object in the collection, we need to talk about them as well!" Never mind that nearly 4,000 of those objects are arrows, which to be honest, when you've talked about one you've talked about them all...

It's telling that, in the last ten years, nobody's bothered to complete the set and get the other wives made. How would you recognise a Catherine Parr duck anyway?

I'm just catching up on #WolfHall, Norfolk just said that you hang a dog at the end of the hunting season. Glad he wasn't in charge when I was on the Mary Rose...

My human saw this on #PokemonGo. I mean, I'm around 480 years old, so I hardly count as young any more, but I like to think I've picked up a bit of wisdom over the centuries...
