I recobanize that dog – we previously posted her coolness here and here without knowing the original source until we read about her in the Sunday papers. More great photos of Maddie here.

A red cottage stands on a small hill. Seen from afar it appears in good shape there among the bushes, but closer up one sees the boarded windows and rotted steps. The people have gone.
I peek in through the window. Inside it looks lived in. People have left their mark: wrinkled rag rugs, things on the table and on the edge of the toppled fireplace. Toys and tops of cooking pots strewn across the floor, a torn bag in the corner. As for the current occupants, sand and dry hay, chewed items and the path under the stove tell of them.
The cottage is being used by badgers…
No idea if that photo was staged, but it doesn’t matter because it made me smile. [Found in here.]
