Looks like trouble to me.
I know! I got one!

Also looks very much like an old doggie friend of mine named Missy.

She was no trouble at all.

Her face, her coat, and her nose looked just like this.

But she was only half lab, and the other half something smaller, with slightly longer, droopier ears.

In her opinion, the other half was obviously human.

Most likely older than two! 😀
Everything is sooo exiting for my goof. 🙂

I was told by experienced lab people that about four or five is when they finally loose some of that puppy energy.

Okay, I confess. I do not have a view like that from my back door.

That’s how high the corn grows.

And they both have silky white tassels.

Filmed at the real Brown Derby restaurant in Hollywood, with William Holden!

You don’t know whether to laugh or cringe…. But walking that fine line is Lucy’s art.

Never would have gotten it from the kid photo, but I can see the progression.

I was wrong about the child….

And I suppose most of you already know that

the adult…

Is Andy Griffith

But that’s for whoever doesn’t, or wants confirmation.

Thanks, that’s who I thought the adult was, but the confirmation is appreciated.

Spoiler Alert: It isn’t Tommy Smothers. Try again!

I can actually see the TS resemblance in the kid-pic.

The kid pic does look like Tommy Smothers… once again, the photo looks too old to be him, but sometimes you can’t tell.

Andy Griffith was born in 1926, so the picture must have been taken in the early 30s.

Smothers was born in 1937, so he’d have been between, say, 5 and 8 in the early 40s.

….

I tried to find a photo of him at that age, but all I could find was one of both brothers, a bit younger.

Tommy is the older one, Dick is about a year and a half younger.

LOL, baby Andy Griffin looks more like adult Tommy Smothers, than baby Tommy Smothers does.

Disclaimer, this is from someone who can’t even identify his own baby pictures.

At first I thought he was harvesting, but from his tools, and the way the notes are set upright in the cart, not piled, I guess he’s planting them.

Besides, they’re all just quarter notes… most of them probably won’t get harvested till they’re fully grown.

He seems to be doing the job all alone, even though it looks like he has a big staff.

Maybe I’ll send him a little note to ask whether he needs help.
He might need a rest now and then.

Maybe he’d like to go to a wine bar and sip reds with notes of chocolate & tobacco. If we’re all in acchord, it would be a suite outing. We just need someone to orchestrate it.

Your memory is accurate.
The cover is by illustrator Darrell K. Sweet.

They made great planes. I see many very good jokes now about their poor quality now is but I can’t laugh; not yet. I’m sad at how far they’ve fallen.

I’ve worked for companies that turned from quality to share-price management. It’s never a good story. Not only does it do bad things to quality, it tends to destroy what it was supposed to support: bankruptcy = $0 per share.

Clint Eatswood would also be a good name for a beaver…

But I doubt Cleo gives a dam.

However much the Beatles hated Brian Epstein’s putting them in cute little suits, I bet Gary Puckett et al hated those green get-ups more.
