The Dog Days Have Come Early

Or at least I've determined that I'm in need of some dogs, so this week shall post some of Bonnard's lovely four-pawed creatures, always good for the heart.  I smile like this child in blue whenever I see them.

Of course that quintessential Bonnardly combination of orange and blues and greens does a world of good as well!  And why is it that stripes are always so jaunty?
