If you have read THIS blog, you might be interested to know that while Stephanie dashed into a local market to get me one item, Morrie jumped over two seats in the car and relieved us of the responsibility of cooking and eating two chicken breasts that were nestled well down into the grocery sack. S. was not happy, but Morrie was.
When he got home, he ate a bird, or at least the remains of one as its foot was sticking out of his mouth unattached to anything else when he came to visit S. poolside. Ah the realities of puppydom. I think my two are giving him naughty lessons. Remember that mere months ago, Diego ate 6 raw porkchops from the skillet atop my stove and two days later made off with an entire cooked chicken.
Since my other two canines are named Frida and Diego, we were thinking we should rename Morrie Trotsky–If you don’t know why, this was a well-known love triangle in Mexico. And, he is a little trotter.

Judy, you won’t believe this. I had a very good friend at school from age 11 to 18 called Jean Diego Brusset. He was the illegitimate son of Marika Marevna, the Russian ballet dancer, and French painter Diego Brusset. Marika was an illegitimake daughter of Diego Rivera , the great Mexican Muralist painter whose work still covers much of Mexico City.But here’s the really good bit. Rivera and Trotski, who fled to Mexico for sanctuary after organising the Russian revolution and then falling out with Lenin et al, started quarrelling over another artist’s model who used to pose for Picasso and was the mother of Diego Brusset and the third woman in the Rivera love story. Picasso was Diego Brusset’s father. As things hotted up on the romantic front in Mexico Diego Rivera killed Trotski in one of the most famous political assassination stories of all time, on a par with Lincoln, Kennedy, etc and it is rumoured he received a large sum in brown envelopes from Moscow. But anyway I was just thinking, if one of your bitches were to have another male pup could you call him Jean after my friend. We still keep in touch and he’d kill me. 🙂 this really is a great coincidence story. thanks. ciao. Anton

The part of the story I know is that Frida and Trotsky had an affair. Your added information is fascinating, but although it was rumored that Diego had a hand in Trotsky’s shooting, it was never proven. Ironic that Frida, who only exhibited twice in her life, has become more famous than Diego. They both covered a lot of ground romantically. Thanks for the story. I’m going to check into it.
