馃帹馃悤 An #ArtfulPup that somehow seems apropos of the first of November is this mysterious scene by renowned writer/illustrator Edward Gorey. We spotted this untitled work as a postcard at the Edward Girey House in Yarmouth Port, MA. #dogsinart #canineart #museumdogs

馃寧 #WITWW greetings from the Edward Gorey House in Yarmouth Port, MA! While you may recognize Gorey's sublime style from the title sequence of PBS's "Mystery!" or from any of his >100 quirky books (think, "The Ghaslycrumb Tinies"), he was also a committed animal welfare advocate.

馃寧 This #WITWW, Yonder was the "doubtful guest" (IYKYK) at this 19th-century home of a brilliantly creative master of illustration, wordsmithing, and dark humor. He resided and worked here from 1986 until his passing in 2000. Where was Yonder? Give a guess; we'll reveal at 5pm.

馃帹馃悤 Autumn is for cranberries, and this #ArtfulPup appears on a vintage label. "Eatmor" launched in 1916, but this c1934 "Pointer" sub-brand was specific to Cape Cod cranberries packed in 25-lb wooden boxes for distribution in NY and Chicago. Spotted @capecodnps in Eastham, MA.

馃寧 Yonder thoroughly enjoyed his #WITWW outing at the Eric Sloane Museum in Kent, CT. Though not allowed inside the museum devoted to the work & personal collection of Eric Sloane (1905-85), Yonder was free to explore the dog-friendly grounds with its trails and Noah Blake Cabin!

馃寧 This #WITWW, we're visiting the studio/museum of a prolific 20th-c American artist known for his landscape paintings and illustrations of early American tools. Here, Yonder stands in a recreated 1805 cabin made famous in his book, "Diary of an Early American Boy." Guess where!

馃帹馃悤 Today's #ArtfulPup is the "Avery Teeth Talk" bulldog. He's the face of this 1915 steam traction engine at the @CAMA_CMA in Kent. Avery's ad campaign paired the threshing capability of its agricultural equipment with a stalwart, toothy bulldog.

#WITWW greetings from Chatham Light on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The light is now managed by the Coast Guard. Yonder became one crazy doggo when presented with the opportunity to tear around on the expansive shoreline (note: the beach is open to leashed dogs after September 15).

For this #WITWW, we're at a spot where, since 1808, there has been a lighthouse...and sometimes two! Can you name the spot that warns mariners of the shoals at this "elbow"? Back at 5 pm with the reveal. #IntrepidPupYonder #vizsla
