Some boys can be artistic too, it just depends on what their abilities are. I used to be a choir boy in my teens, despite my changing voice. I also loved to draw in pencil and figured out from a book how to do perspective good enough to draw a building or a square object, but have never been able to draw a person or animal legibly. I never took art lessons until I was in College, and it was only a beginner class.
This cap reminds me o of the cap older boys and young men in the 1920s and 1930s commonly wore long before baseball caps became popular. Cartoon and comic characters like Skippy or Smitty wore them. In the UK they were until the 1960s the choice of hat for the working class, worn by British characters going from Andy Cap to the two not-so-smart assistants of Cruella de Vil in 101 Dalmatians to the choice of hatwear by the unforgettable chimmeney sweeper in live action Mary Poppins. In some countries such as Spain, Portugal, other Mediterranean countries and even in Georgia (the former Soviet now Independent Republic of course) they are a popular hat to this day.
To this day our 9 year old Lab mix looks at and sniffs every bag when we come home from shopping. He may be on his way to be a senior dog but he still has that puppy attitude when someone comes holding something: What did you brought me? A toy? A treat?
Most cruises don’t like kids on board, except maybe a Disney Cruise, and I got a feeling mom and dad probably want some “me time” when they go on a cruise. The kid can stay with the grandparents or as in the case of pet parents with a dog sitter.
Me thinks, since Buckles does a double role as a pet dog and as a child figure, it’s the human equivalent of: “no children allowed in this cruise”. Remember he is supposed to be a puppy.
They say pets are like their pet parents and vice versa. And as Shawm always says…. and after their respective visits they’ll both be able to say in unison: I have no dignity! (and by the way I think everybody’s dignity flies out the window when one sits in that examing room and the dental practitioner begins looking at your teeth and it’s gone long before they begin drilling…)
Which is why everybody loves Sirius! He asks the innocent child’s question or comes up with the explanation a very small child may believe about several things.
