Good morning friends. For Throwback Thursday today, we brought you a few tidbits on Belvedere Castle in Central Park.

Belvedere Castle is a historical landmark in Central Park. It was designed in 1865 by Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law. Over the castle you can see The Great Lawn, Turtle Pond and the Delacorte Theater, something for everyone. The Castle and Vista Rock are the highest elevation point in all of Central Park.

As you can see Sammy is happy to stand on guard greeting all who come to visit. A shout out to our great friend Ron Lopez who is working at the castle through the summer. This man is a fine New Yorker. Sammy & Ron have a real bond.
Happy Thursday

This is Billy. I’ve drawn him before and he was in the picture of my first post. He works at Wasteworth Insane Asylum. He is one of the dogs who is supposed to stand by in-case any unstable dog goes off and physically attacks their psychoanalyst while talking to them. He does this very well because of his size and strength. ©

This is a picture for an Everybody Loves Sammy movie rewrite of the movie “City of Angels.” The quote in the picture is by Scott Evan Smith. Here you see random characters.

Three pictures today! Bet we haven’t seen that number in a long time, in terms of daily uploads. This will only be for today though.Tomorrow I will be going back to uploading one post a day. Perhaps in the future I will post more than one or two a day regularly? This will most likely be after I finish my animation though.

Aureliano was Luna’s best friend. He is a pretty noble and honest cat but he can get annoyed and lose interest in something very easily. He himself seems to falsify the stereotype made up by dogs, that all cats are thieves, as he is against stealing. He does seem to have a lot of morals. He also hates cowardice and grows to resent Luna because of it. Both Luna and Aureliano were orphaned kittens when they met each other and they became great friends. Unlike Luna however, Aureliano grew to make even more friends. He did not resent Luna at first but she became very clingy towards him because he was her only friend which, in addition to her cowardice, agitated Aureliano. However Luna only became more dependent on Aureliano to help her when she was in trouble. Aureliano also kind of knew about her crush on him but he simply could not reciprocate similar feelings to her. One day Aureliano had had enough of Luna and scolded her for being a coward. He explained that she wasn’t independent and that she could be very selfish because of her cowardice. He stated that he didn’t want a coward for a friend. Aureliano did feel sad for Luna when she was begging him to stay with her but he felt like it wouldn’t be good for either of them if he stayed with her. Aureliano is the reason Luna set out to be a new cat. Aureliano could also unintentionally be the reason that Luna took up disloyalty. Despite her cowardice and selfishness, she never seemed outright disloyal when she was still friends with Aureliano. However her disloyalty could also come out of fear for her new supposed “friends,” as she believes she could never trust them like she trusted Aureliano. She states numerous times though that she does not like to be a traitor. When she betrays one of her associates, she says to herself “It’s better I betray them before they betray me.” She only says this as a reason to justify her paranoia as well as her disloyalty. Aureliano eventually becomes the leader of a group of cats hoping to create a revolution and take down the dogs who discriminate them. Aureliano’s name means “Golden” in Spanish. ©

This is Alemana, Makani’s childhood friend and the original owner of the “necklace of maluhia.” He was supposed to use the necklace for good and defend the “Cherry-Eye Isles”.Alemana was next in line for being the guardian of his island. It was a tradition in his family, as his ancestors were great and legendary protectors of the Cherry-Eye Isles.They supposedly protected the island from monsters and demonic entities as well as malevolent dogs who wanted to take over the island for greedy purposes. However , the necklace was what helped them protect the island for so long. Unfortunately, young Makani struck him on the head with a rock when he found out about the necklace’s powers, as he wanted it for himself, thinking it would benefit HIM more. Makani had only meant to knock his friend out, but he ended up killing him. Regardless, Makani didn’t know nor just didn’t care about the gravity of the crime he committed. It is because of Alemana’s death that Makani’s mother drives Makani out of their home.

Fortunately, the dangers that the Cherry-Eye Isles had originally faced were long gone leaving the island in momentary peace, or so it seems. There was a huge mental disturbance on the inhabitants of the island. Everyone on the island seemed to become increasingly more paranoid or depressed by the death of the young dog. Many dogs on the island stated that this was the start of a “reign of hellfire with a mixture of depravity and apathy in Canorphia.” These dogs seemed to eerily predict the rise of the Young Bloods pack, as depravity and / or apathy seems to be a trait that pretty much every “Youth” has.  A “Youth” is another word for a young blood pack member. This also heavily applies to the four main dogs. Nashira and Tommy were depraved of any compassion or kindness from their parents, while Makani and Gemini seemed to just have apathy for their own.

Alemana was a very kind, brave and spunky puppy when he was living. He seemed to have gotten wisdom about the world early on because of his position of power. He got along with everybody and seemed to be a lot more mature then his age at times. He also seemed to have very good control of his powers which is why all the inhabitants of the Cherry-Eye Isles put so much trust in him being able to protect them. He could keep very calm under certain situations and was able to focus very well which added to the effectiveness of his use of his powers. Alemana had an all-around “heart of gold.” Alemana was a bulldog and his name translates to “Powerful Man” in Hawaiian. It is mentioned that his family is still living,however they do not make an appearance. They are assumed to still be guarding the island and looking out for wild animals or malevolent dogs, even without the necklace. Alemana, much like Alfred, will only appear in flashbacks. ©
