For Dogust. The Cŵn Annwn, the red-eared white hounds of the Wild Hunt in Welsh mythology. Annwn, the Welsh Otherworld, is said to be either ruled by King Arawn (as cited in the Mabinogion, the earliest Welsh prose stories) or Gwyn ap Nudd (king of the Fair Folk in later medieval lore). Some say the hunt rides through the sky, chasing wandering spirits, others that their hunting grounds include the mountain of Cadair Idris, where hearing the baying of the hounds is a foretelling of death. "Cŵn" is plural for "hounds", the singular form is "Ci".
I'm sure they're good doggies who like ear skritches just like any other.

So, Dogust huh? I can't necessarily do a dog a day like some folks but I'm down to contribute a few good floofs to the art population...
My first Dogust dog will be a Sheltie, based on my dearly departed Princess.

Lady's favorite spot is under the white pine. She blends in with the fallen pine needles so well she is almost invisible!
This lovely fellow is the opposite of camouflaged. (Reference photo by Tumblr user Hedgehogmoss)
Happy Dogust!
