Thanks for the Hogarth suggestion. I might pursue the dogs further this summer, if I can think-up a creative analytical angle that will not just state the obvious. Hogarth will probably help. Hi Historiann. I don't live in Ottawa. Did you see Lumpen Professoriat's post, "Teaching Unwaged Workers" (http://lumpenprofessoriat.blogspot.com/2008/04/teaching-unwaged-workers.html/)? It engages with your post, "The incentivized university." Hi Indyanna. Thanks for the Hogarth suggestion.

I wonder if Ortho lives in Ottowa, which has a big tulip festival every May? Hey–I think I’ve got more cats peeing in my garden, but dogs are (figuratively speaking) welcome to pee here, too.

A quick scan of Hogarth scenes by Google Images showed lots of dogs, almost to the point of being a trope, but none relieving themselves. Still, it may offer a cultural backdrop to your question, and further research could reveal more. (Sorry, Historiann, but the dogs are a click down in the blog-queue, and it seemed perhaps advisable to place this herein...)

The Delaware side of the state is always a few weeks ahead of the Ohio, mostly for reasons of altitude above sea level I think. But there's nothing of comparable colorfulness that I've seen at either end of the state. This town, which escaped becoming Potterville by maybe a hair in the last century, will celebrate the centenary of the birth of its foundational icon, Mr. Stewart's boy, in a month, long after I've decamped for the true East. If anything noteable transpires before then I'll send in some content. Is there still an update pending on the Rescuedoll(Head) said to be residing in this garden?
