Former ratter on Henry VIII's Mary Rose, these days I live at the Mary Rose Museum. Doggy opinions my own. Woof.

Mine all fell out centuries ago...
A dog skull with mostly empty tooth sockets. Still seems happy though.

Watching the #WinterOlympics, currently showing the men's skeleton. I find people are more interested in the dog's skeleton, tbh...

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.

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.

You've heard of #ElfOnTheShelf, get ready for...
The skeleton of the Mary Rose's dog, sitting on one of those wooden sticks with a phosphorus tip that creates fire.

Long wa of saying it, but we want people to try and figure it out...

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...

The nasal turbinates too. And, of course, the fact that I'm in a museum of stuff off a 16th century warship.

That is the other one that I hear a lot. Is this the snout of a cat?

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...

In all seriousness though, I think they're mistaking me for the one dog who is greater than me...

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?
