It’s either a posed shot for a pet photography tutorial from a company, Iran, Afghanistan, or Tajikistan or a photograph by a professional pet photographer in Calgary (those are the only two photographs Bing image search found / the one site was in Persian and by Britannica the three countries have at least a variety of Persian as their official language ).
Sometimes, it’s OK to just enjoy a photo of a cute little goofball….no need to do a search.
In this case, it just wasn’t necessary.

A clear throw-back theme today. The story, the stars, and the music.
Thanks for those old 78 rpm (?) records that someone was good enough to post online. Even with their atrocious, tinny sounding recording equipment, it’s a delight to hear the skill and musicianship that the performers show. The quartet, albeit not a barbershop quartet which I have always thought of as a capella, nonetheless sings solid four part harmony, with multiple moving lines. That was popular music, at least among polite society, in its day. Imagine how much better this music sounded when you heard it live.

“Swiss Fondue”
Allow for each serving:
1 clove garlic
2/3 cup dry white wine Neuchâtel or Côte.
1 cup brated imported Swiss cheese*
1 cup grated imported Gruyère cheese*
2 1/4 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons kirsch
1/8 teaspoon salt (optional)
Dash of pepper (optional)
Dash of nutmeg (optional)
French bread cubes, about 1 1/2 inch
* Or use 2 cups grated domestic Swiss cheese.
Rub pan of chafing dish or a heat-
proof casserole with the garlic. Pour
in wine and warm it over direct me-
dium heat, but do not let it boil.
Combine cheeses and gradually add
to wine. Stir constantly, with a
wooden spoon, in a figure-eight until
the cheese is completely melted, and
the mixture becomes creamy and be-
gins to boil.
Combine cornstarch with the kirsch
and seasonings. Gradually add to the
cheese mixture, stirring constantly,
until the mixture thickens. Place over
heat unit of chafing dish or a candle
warmer; stir occasionally to keep the
fondue creamy.
Serve with crusty cubes of French
bread (bite-size peices). With a fork,
each guest spears crusty cubes of
French bread, dipping and swirling the
bread in the fondue until coated.
Notes from me:
Neuchâtel, and Côte (du Rhone) are wine regions in Switzerland and France respectively.
There are numerous wines between them; choose the one you want.
What happened?
The site went down around 08:35 E.D.T..
I checked again at the half hour mark, still down; it’s back up at the time of this comment, obviously.
That face …it’s …. it’s….um…. almost photo-realistic!
I know it was a long time ago, and styles have changed…..
But gosh….. wasn’t she beeootiful?
…
She was an immediately popular star, when she started working in silent films, becoming known as the veritable queen of Howlywood, in her day.
She may look like a puppy, but she was fully grown, in this film…
She made several movies like this, in which her sweet face and fragile charm let her play a young puppy, which to the innocent audiences of the day seemed convincing, and drew many fans to those roles in particular.
She was mated for a while to its king, Dougie Furbarks, and they held court at their mansion, Pupfur, for all of Howlywoods glitziest royalty.
Later she became a producer, and a virtual ambassador for the US and Howlywood, being called the most famous female dog in the world.
…
But back to Rebarkah…..
I read the book when I was in elementary school….
and a sequel or two besides, I believe.
But there was also Anne of Green Kennels… several books worth….
and of course, Puppyanna.
All featuring cheerful young girl pups who spread joy to everyone around them…. especially dour maiden aunts, grouchy old men, and stepmothers.
I have to admit, I sometimes mix up the stories.
…
And of course, there was also Heidoggi, and later, Silas Weimaraner…. in the same vein, but more rustic and memorable….
and better written, which doesn’t hurt.
Anyway, with a face like Mary Pupford, who couldn’t you charm?
….
Oh look!
A human studio made a movie too!
Trying to cash in on a beautiful face with sad eyes, I suppose…..
but look at that blonde curly stuff.
Hah! Trying to substitute for long silky basset ears.
Another one can’t watch. 😀
Like entering a fractal.
Good description.
This one looks sorta like Michigan J. Frog. I wonder if he sings.
I prefer the “Alien”-scene from “Spaceballs”.

No need to look…
That is a ridiculously cute photo. Is poochie sitting amongst a selection of wigs?
I thought so.

It was down longer than that for me… starting much earlier anyway.
I don’t know how it can be geographic but it seems to be.
Maybe just different servers… But I couldn’t post at about 5 or 6 am EDT.
I hadn’t seen your post when I wrote mine below, because I didn’t want to try to refresh first.
I was close to informing you the site was down via email.
Fortunately it was back up sooner than expected.
Oh, I love “Rebarka of Sunnybrook Farm.”
And … sigh…… Mary Pupford.
And this poster.

Well it just doesn’t work.
I didn’t realize Cleo and Company was down when I wrote that comment.
It seemed ok when I got here, around eleven I think, but I got distracted, and it was later when I tried to post it.
Couldn’t refresh, “like” any comments, or post anything for a few hours, so I went to bed.
I’m not really up now… Just stopped by to see whether the site was up again, and it seems to be! Yay!
I dunno if anybody else was trying, in the wee hours, PDT, or early morning, east of here… But did you have a problem?
OK.. Back to bed. Well maybe one more post….
I couldn’t get on this morning at 5:00. But everything was loading slow this morning.
Early early cinema…. of sorts.
well, stel. you have certainly out done yourself!!! all those ‘period’ videos were perfect!
