Today’s photo is of Chloe in her Creature Leisure Carry Den XT, resting on the composing stone in the letterpress studio at Seattle’s Pratt Fine Arts Center. I’d like to have a press of my own someday, but before then we’ll have to insulate the garage, and while we’re insulating it, heck, why don’t we just rebuild the thing, and you know how that goes. Happily, Pratt has a couple of lovely old C&P platen presses (named Petunia and Franklin), and I like working and TA-ing there. My husband and I (together, we’re the Grundoon Press) have a few things for sale on Etsy, if you’d like to check them out.

Doesn't she look wary? The noise of the press soon put her to sleep.

This is the first time I took Chloe to the studio with me, and it made the day extra pleasant to look over from time to time and see her snoozing (the debris on letterpress studio floors includes lead particles, so it was safer for her to be off the ground and tethered to her carrier).

You know I’d love to see how you and your pup spent your time together this week — please post your photos on Dog Jaunt’s Facebook page so we can all see them!
