It’s a rat, isn’t it?

Tuesday.

I did wonder what was in all those barrels...

Fancy coming up with a name for my new friend?

You talk about me a lot because I'm the most popular thing in the museum!

My human visited the Spanish galleon currently visiting Portsmouth, and spotted a rat in their hold. Wonder if they want me to pop over and sort it out?

Bluesky is asking me to confirm my age. I was on the Mary Rose - if I'm not old enough I dread to think how you lot are going to fare!

I recognise that board! Not to mention the leg at the top of the photo...

Huge thanks to my lovely friend @squigglethinks.bsky.social for sending me a birthday card! Let me know next time you're in the area, be nice to say hello properly!

Age verification? When I was a pup, the rhyme went "Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, current"

It's my Birthday! Well, my discovery birthday; I was actually born in late 1543/early 1544...

Anyone know what day it is tomorrow?

Sorry for the silence, it's been very busy at the museum recently! Being this cute isn;t easy, you know...

About time we had a dog playing Superman!

RELEASE THE KRAKEN (t-shirts)! Our amazing new Kraken and the Mary Rose - A Rational Explanation design is now available in adult sizes - get yours while stocks last! shop.maryrose.org/products/kra...

Not one of mine, I should add. Even if it was installed during the refit of 1536, that's still eight years before I was born!

I want one of these - being behind glass means I can only get boops, not pats.

Shame, would be nice to meet the Titanic's dogs!

Can I be the obligatory non-muppet actor?

Did you know that the premiere of Superman IV: The Quest for Peace was a fundraising gala for the Mary Rose Trust?

Of course I'm a dinosaur, no other animals have skeletons afer all...

While I was obviously rooting for the Jack Russell to win, my mum was a whippet so I'm happy! #Crufts

With the final day of #Crufts taking place today, let's take a look back at when a certain Tudor pooch attended the world's greatest dog show... #BestInShow

Has it really been 15 years since I was displayed at #Crufts? Yes, you read that right. Me, a 477+ year old mongrel, got invited to Crufts. Dreams can come true... maryrose.org/blog/looking...

It's that time of year again... #PancakeDay youtu.be/gj_aHCpZl4k?...

No, that's not me in the new Doctor Who trailer. youtu.be/zSb-S04AaFA?... #DoctorWho

NEW Bear baiting (a blood-sport where dogs were pitted against bears for entertainment) was popular in Shakespearean England. Archaeologists have determined a way to identify this popular, if unpleasant, sport. #AntiquityThread 1/13 🧵 Learn more 🆓 https://buff.ly/431MWS2

I keep saying that last bit, but it's always "we've got 19,000 object in the collection, we need to talk about them as well!" Never mind that nearly 4,000 of those objects are arrows, which to be honest, when you've talked about one you've talked about them all...

About time they got round to me...

I did that.

It's telling that, in the last ten years, nobody's bothered to complete the set and get the other wives made. How would you recognise a Catherine Parr duck anyway?

What's worse, they've put @romanpalace.bsky.social in Switzerland!!

Merry Christmas to all my Hatchlings! Woof!

I'm just catching up on #WolfHall, Norfolk just said that you hang a dog at the end of the hunting season. Glad he wasn't in charge when I was on the Mary Rose...

Huge thanks to @squigglethinks.bsky.social for my lovely Christmas card! I shall make a doggy wish for you!

My human saw this on #PokemonGo. I mean, I'm around 480 years old, so I hardly count as young any more, but I like to think I've picked up a bit of wisdom over the centuries...

Oh, another series set in the court of Henry VIII? How about one about, say, a small dog on one of his ships instead? Much more original... www.thesun.co.uk/tv/32070709/...

Is that me at the bottom?

Do my tail wagging gifs not work on here?

I would have caught them too! Probably shouldn't brag about that though...

FINALLY!

I'm 481 years old, so I'm half expecting Jake Paul is going to challenge me to a fight. I'm a lurcher, not a boxer, so I may have to turn him down...

Woof.
