my husband took that with my second camera when I was shooting an engagement session in newport RI. what a special surprise THAT was to find on my camera later!!! hahaha
The sign on the tree says it is no dog's. No dog owns this tree
The quotes mean either that either a specific dog DOES own it or they are quoting the guy who maintains the park
Or it may be short for 'no dog is'. Someone is being poetic and saying that no dog is a tree. In other words a dog needs more than water and sunshine, unlike a tree
I think that I shall never see A poem as lovely as a tree And never shall I gaze a log Who fetches as well as a dog
I prefer to interpret the sign to mean "there is no dog that owns this tree," i.e. if anyone or anything owns the tree, he/she/it is not a dog at all (or the tree is not owned by anyone, even a dog).
Perhaps "No Dog's" = Dogs own you. Yes, it's true. Not you, or any tree, owns dogs. Who picks up the poop? Don't even look at this tree. You just stepped in poop.
Is this the same as "No Man's Land". Does a particular dog actually own the tree or do "all" dogs own the tree or do "no" dogs own the tree. I'm so confused...
No dog's what? No dog's breakfast?
ReplyDeleteI see there's a special bonus unnecessary apostrophe today. Excellent.
ReplyDeleteObviously the tree is "not owned by any dog." Meaning there is a dog that owns it.

ReplyDeleteWords cannot explain how much I hate improperly pluralized words.
ReplyDeletehey, i'm from there. where in newport?
ReplyDeleteKellie: yes. WTF are the words possessing, might I ask?
ReplyDeletethe S looks like it is upside down. and is this really the best way to display the sign?
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought I would be the first to comment on the vile, random apostrophe. I should have known!
ReplyDeleteOh, man! I want that sign!
ReplyDeleteBreak it down

It's a stretch.
