So, what are pet version of the other "Fathers" like? (Also, maybe you should start tagging this au)
Greetings Anon ^^
Hmmm Raymond Crosshill would be a very friendly and loyal dog, despite being older and after an accident having lost one leg, that does not stop Raymond to be trusting and he likes company.
Urban would be rather, lethargic or, well he prefers not to do much, he is happy to be laying in the sun or on the couch sleeping.
Denarius is the kind of animal/pet that upon hearing the shaking of a box with food or the opening of a can, would immediately wake up and run towards the source.
In Bartholomew's case I think, he appears to be rather shy, perhaps even somewhat ashamed because of the skin disease he has, Fed gives him a bit extra attention together with giving Bart medicine that helps against the condition.
Once you have gained Bart's trust and he sees you as a friend he is very trusting.
Yours sincerely

Hannah Frank (1908 – 2008) was an artist and sculptor from Glasgow, Scotland. She was known for her art nouveau monochrome drawings until she decided to concentrate on sculpture in 1952.
Frank's Jewish parents both originated in Russia. Charles Fraiker, her father, came from Vilkomir in the Russian Pale of Settlement. After studying engineering at Leitz in Frankfurt, he immigrated to Scotland in 1905, and changed his name to Frank. Frank's mother was also born in Russia, as Miriam Lipctz. Having immigrated to Scotland, her family settled first in Edinburgh and then in Glasgow, where her parents ran a shop in Gorbals repairing cameras and optical devices.
The Franks lived in Glasgow's Gorbals district, where there was a strong Jewish immigrant community, first in Abbotsford Road and later in South Portland Street. When Frank was 13, the family moved to 72 Dixon Avenue, in Crosshill.
Frank attended Abbotsford Road Primary School followed by Strathbungo School and then Albert Road Academy. She obtained her Intermediate Certificate in 1924 (with subject passes in English, Maths, Latin, French, Science and Drawing). Her Higher Certificate followed in 1926 (English Literature and History, Latin, French and Art).
Frank was a student at the University of Glasgow in 1926–27, 1928–29 and 1929–30, taking courses in Latin, English, French, Moral Philosophy and Botany, living at home during her periods of study.[3] In the session 1927–28 she attended Skerry's College, studying German, where she was assessed as 'having a rare talent for languages'. Although she had to negotiate several re-sits, she graduated Master of Arts on 8 November 1930. Her formal essays, notebooks and examination scripts can be viewed in the University Archives.

On January 15th 1968 a Hurricane devastates Scotland. 
The 1968 Hurricane Low Q was a deadly storm that moved through the Central Belt of Scotland during mid January 1968. It was described as Central Scotland's worst natural disaster since records began and the worst gale in the British Isles.
Around 250,000 homes were damaged across Scotland, resulting in almost 2,000 people becoming temporarily homeless. The storm, , arrived during the night, when most people were at home in bed, blowing in house and shop windows, tearing roofs off buildings and trees from the ground.
Our nation is no stranger to howling winds and dangerous weather, but this hurricane took twenty lives, nine in Glasgow alone.
Homes, shops, cars and churches were all desolated by the strong gusts brought on by Hurricane Low Q, they might have had crap names back then but it didn’t make them less dangerous, which first hit land through the night of 14 January 1968.
The Daily Record reported at the time that two mothers and their daughters died when a chimney head fell through a tenement on Dumbarton Road in the city. A mother and her three-year-old daughter from Swindon, Wiltshire, lost their lives, they had come to Glasgow for the  funeral of her mother, who died in a fire in Govan the previous Saturday. 
Also killed were Mrs Janet Gowran, 40, and her youngest daughter Nancy, 10.  A 5 year-old-girl was killed at her home in Port Street, Anderston and a 25-year-old pregnant nurse was lost her life when a chimney head crashed through her ground floor flat in North Kelvinside.
The freak hurricane also claimed the life of a 38-year-old woman   at Willowbank Street in Woodside, a 60-year-old woman at Niddrie Road, Crosshill and a man who lost his life at his home in Arlington Street, Charing Cross.
The chaos was referred to by police as worse than the Clydebank Blitz. The hurricane was the worst storm to hit the Scotland for 30 years, with winds of over 100 miles an hour.
In Glasgow 70,000 corporation houses were damaged, 1100 chimney heads collapsed and 69 tenement buildings eventually had to be demolished. I was not just the day after the storm that emergency services were busy. The clean-up lasted for days and weeks after and the Daily Record reported at the time that it would be nine months before telephone lines were restored! 
The damage cost the city millions of pounds.
The dates are all over the place with this one, you would think that it being so recent the event would have been well documented and dated, I could have posted this on any one of 6 days as that is how long the storm lasted in full.   Sources vary for the wind speeds as well but different areas were obviously more exposed, Glasgow seen highs of 103 mph while the Cairngorms got battered with an incredible 173 mph.
After the storm moved away, the death toll continued to rise. 30 people died from repairing houses so in total it caused 50 deaths. 
On 16th January 1968, about 150 troops from Edinburgh came to Glasgow to help with the clean-up operation. There was little national press coverage of the storm, despite it affecting most of northern England, Northern Ireland and Scotland. An interest-free loan of £500,000 was given by the Government to the affected areas. Singer Frankie Vaughan began to raise funds for the victims of the storm by holding a special concert at Alhambra Theatre in Glasgow.
The damage wasn’t contained to Glasgow in Edinburgh windows were blown in, roofs and trees were ripped up, cars were crushed and chimney stacks collapsed. Hundreds of people were left destitute and thousands more were left without power in the aftermath. A couple  were crushed to death by falling masonry when their chimney crashed through the roof of their home in Dalry.  The city’s Scott Monument lost one of the 80ft-high pinnacles from its first tier. It smashed a floodlight on its way down, embedding itself a foot into the ground, as seen in the last pic.

House of Blood murders
On 16 October 2004, Edith McAlinden, a convicted thief, prostitute, and homeless drifter, was released from prison, having served a nine-month sentence for a serious assault. She visited a top-floor flat on Dixon Avenue, in Crosshill, where her boyfriend David Gillespie, 42, lived with fellow tenant Anthony Coyle, 71, and landlord Ian Mitchell, 67, whom McAlinden referred as "Pops".
An argument erupted between McAlinden and Gillespie during a drinking session, which spurred her into stabbing a knife in Gillespie's thighs repeatedly, severing a femoral vein in one thigh that caused him to bleed to death. McAlinden panicked and telephoned her son John for help. John arrived with his friend Jamie Gray by taxi. McAlinden persuaded Mitchell to pay for their taxi fare. He agreed, mistakenly believing that her son and his friend had come to help Gillespie.
When John realised Mitchell was a witness, he fatally stabbed him and kicked his head repeatedly, which caused his brain to bleed heavily. Coyle escaped to his bedroom where he locked himself in. John and Jamie used a drill to remove the door locks and forced their way into the bedroom. Jamie chased Coyle and beat him to death with a golf club.
Two hours later, at approximately 03:00, McAlinden went to neighbour James Sweeney's house and claimed something had happened at Ian Mitchell's flat. She begged him to check. Sweeney went to the flat and once he saw the state of the hallway, he phoned the emergency services on his mobile phone. He later revealed to local reporters that walls and floors were covered with blood, which quickly earned the killings a nickname, "The House of Blood."
When the police and paramedics arrived, they found McAlinden alone and clinging to Gillespie's body, screaming at him to wake up. McAlinden was formally charged next day, Monday 18 October, at Glasgow Sheriff Court for the murders. During the investigation, the police speculated McAlinden didn't act alone and that there were two or three strong men involved because, according to a police record during the trial, "there was so much blood in the flat that it was impossible to be precise about the details of the violence." 
On 29 June 2005, Edith McAlinden was sentenced to life imprisonment with an understanding that she is to serve her prison sentence until at least 2018. John McAlinden and Jamie Gray were each given a minimum tariff of 12 years.

Has Blaise been to the mayberry Chruch?
Greetings Anon
In the past no, given that Blaise never stepped a foot into Mayberry, before or shortly after Lawrence death.
But, in the present I can imagine that they, with or without disguise (given that their physical appearance has changed over the years so, it is possible that people no longer recognize them)
They were present at one of Jerome Alabasters masses and his sermons and honestly, Blaise could feel his stomach twisting, the longer they listened to the old sheep's rants about a punishing god and eternal damnation and hellfire.
Blaise did feel bad about the people, who went to church and had to listen to this, and mostly did it because the people felt like they were obligated to, or maybe because they feared Jerome so much, the old cat theorized.
It was clear now for Blaise, that one factor, why, at least some people did not consider leaving the city, was Jerome Alabaster and the fear he was causing.
However Blaise also was present at a mass and sermon of Raymond Crosshill, and although he was old, the old war journalist thought he did his job well, at least, he was giving the people hope, instead of putting fright into their hearts as Jerome did.
Yours sincerely

Discovering the Comfort of Dog Cave Beds
If you're a dog owner looking to provide your furry friend with a cozy retreat, consider the allure of dog cave beds. These unique and stylish beds offer a comforting space for dogs to curl up, relax, and feel secure. Let's dive into what makes dog cave beds a popular choice among pet owners.
Tumblr media
What are Dog Cave Beds?
Dog cave beds, also known as hooded or igloo beds, are designed with a covered or partially enclosed structure that resembles a cave. This innovative design appeals to dogs' natural instincts to seek shelter in enclosed spaces, providing them with a sense of security and warmth.
Comfort and Security
One of the key benefits of dog cave beds is the sense of security they offer. Dogs often feel safer and more relaxed in an enclosed space, especially during times of stress or when they want to unwind. The cozy interior of a cave bed provides a private sanctuary where dogs can retreat for uninterrupted rest.
Tumblr media
Ideal for Small Breeds and Burrowers
Dog cave beds are particularly popular among small breeds or dogs that enjoy burrowing. The enclosed structure allows them to snuggle up and feel enveloped, mimicking the feeling of being in a den or burrow.
Stylish and Functional
Aside from comfort, dog cave beds come in a variety of styles and materials to complement your home decor. Whether you prefer a sleek modern design or a more traditional look, there's a dog cave bed to suit every taste.
Choosing the Right Dog Cave Bed
When selecting a dog cave bed, consider your dog's size, sleeping habits, and personal preferences. Look for beds made from soft, durable materials with removable, washable covers for easy maintenance.
Overall, dog cave beds are a wonderful addition to any home, providing dogs with a cozy retreat and pet owners with peace of mind knowing their furry companions have a comfortable place to rest. Treat your dog to the luxury of a cave bed and watch them snuggle in style!
