My sister sent a dog haiku to me. I think you’ll enjoy it:

stiff-legged dog rises
goes grumbling after squirrel
old ears still flap

Here you go…. Express delivery and my special chocolate banana cream pie @no extra charge!

It may look skimpy in a photo… but if you’ll remember, they’re served on a turkey platter… a yak rib weighs 2- 2½ pounds.

First of all…..

Yes

But I can’t look at that face without hearing him say…

probably in a feigned Spanish accent….

“Just one more thing, señor…”

I grew up with them. “Collected Poems of Robert Service” was a gift back in 1985, long after I was married. I can’t quote all of “The Cremation of Sam Magee”, but I had a girlfriend who could.

The flag shown is the one of South Korea nowadays.
Not to mention that Korea was the test-field in the Korean War for chemicals used in Vietnam later.
We knew a Korean woman with a melted face. She and her husband owned an excellent Korean store here in Munich. Always cheerful.

Betcha I did.

If I recall correctly….
There is an anchor on each of the two toy ships.

And a heart cut-out on the wide leg of the teacher’s desk.

There’s a compass on the toy rocket the little girl is holding… which, BTW, she seems to be coloring with a pencil(?)

And there are umbrellas on the teacher’s dress.

Found this book today at a second hand store. Hmmm…I wonder why it has a basset on the cover…

But she needs her nails for tapping impatiently on the table when her kibble is late…

Not to mention they have to be long enough for painting a sparkly deep rose to match her rose silk tafetta gown.

Don’t you want her to look glamorous on the red carpet, when she accepts her 3rd Golden Biscuit?

My goodness… You’d think she was an ordinary dog.
