I used old ads in the background, ads for dog food, treats & shampoo from american magazines from the 1950’s. The background color is supposed to give a sense of old, disintegrating newspaper, and I like the way the color complemented the black dog.

Back in December (long before I started this blog) I wrote a column for the same magazine (Vi Med Hund) a short story about our Playdoh’s experiences at his doggy daycare around Christmas time... Shenanigans....
