About the new blog

I just wanted to write a quick word about the blog and it's name, for clarification.

Blogger.com was nice enough to allow me to move everything from the business site to a new site, now that the business is closed. There are still a few things relevant to the business, but I'll probably take those down eventually.

As for the name, there was a mosaic uncovered in 1824, in what has become known as "The House of the Tragic Poet"... or at the entrance. It was some of the earliest evidence, when it was uncovered, how early dogs were used for specific functions other than hunting. The mosaic is of a growling, chained dog with the words "Cave Canem" under it. The house where it was uncovered dates back to the 2nd Century BC. After the discovery, several similar mosaics were uncovered.
