Going viral......


Small Dog has had a Facebook page since Feb 2013.  She's had a core of loyal followers and in the past year has gained a respectable 100 or so Likes, presumably from those who don't find her 'ecksperrymentil' spelling gives them headaches and nausea.

For some reason, in the past few days she has mysteriously gained over 200 additional Likes, despite a recent lack of activity by either of us.

Curiouser and curiouser.......

She's very sanguine about the whole thing, taking it in her stride and maintaining that as 'Hed of Markitten' for Tower House Dolls, she always has her paw on the pulse of 'soshall meedjah' and the like so we shouldn't be surprised if she's on the verge of going viral.

Hmmm.

However, she may well be right.  After having Googlism damn me with faint praise the other day, I decided to see what it yielded for Small Dog.

Oh. My. Dog.  Reams and reams of it!

What follows is a small selection of my favourites.
