For some reason, I posted this on DeviantART before entering this in the Challenge. So, I guess I'll copy and paste the comment that I made there, over here. MARVEL AT MY LAZINESS! MARVEL, I SAY!

This is Tumble, my dog. Drawn as a gijinka (or however you spell that). In real life, he's a Norfolk Terrier.

I was wracking my brain to figure out what kind of outfit he should wear and I came up with no ideas. So, I did the thing I usually do when I can't figure out stuff. I asked my mom. She suggested a sailor suit, so I took the idea and ran with it.

The things surrounding Tumble are his possessions. I took some liberties with the items. The gutted bunny toy is really pink, the bed is beige and doesn't have his name on it, the "SNAX" box is just a made-up brand of dog treats, and there is no yellow stripe on the chewed-up frisbee. I just changed stuff to make it a bit more interesting.

The background is supposed to be the family room in my house. I totally BS'd it. I didn't even look at the actual room when drawing the picture.

Now, I shall present you with a song about my dog. It's sung to the tune of that Monty Python lumberjack song. If you don't know that song, it's probably on YouTube. Disclaimer: there is a slight bit of bodily humor in this parody. So don't say I didn't warn you.

"The Tumble Song"

I'm a Tumble dog and I'm OK
I bark all night and I sleep all day

I pee on trees
I eat too much
I guard Mom in the lavatory
On afternoons I go for walkies
And mark my territory

I'm a Tumble dog and I'm OK
I bark all night and I sleep all day

I pee on trees
I chew my toys
I sometimes eat wild flowers
I love to chase the mailman
And bark at deer for hours

I'm a Tumble dog and I'm OK
I bark all night and I sleep all day

I pee on trees
I beg for treats
And Mom feeds me pasta
I wish I wasn't neutered
Unlike my dear papa

I'm a Tumble dog and I'm OK
I bark all night and I sleep all day
