When I adopted Reginald, his name was Red. I changed it because that was much too short a name for such a long dog. And unlike this photo, Reggie had a black saddle and some white in his face. I’ve never seen such a red basset as this before. Absolutely adorable.
How you doing after losing the kitty? Hope things are okay.
I just got a text from a long-time friend at work. Last night he saw his beagle in the back yard, then went out front moving trucks and stuff in his driveway. Didn’t know the dog had got out to the front, and ran him over. Poor man is devastated. (I would be too.) Can’t find any words to help him feel better.
“Not good” isn’t surprising. When I lose a hound, it hurts for weeks, if not months. I love to sit quietly remembering the best (and possibly the worst) of the times we had together.
I actually pet-sat for my friend – Jackson was at my home for several lengthy visits. Both of us are going to miss that nutty beagle.
The houses look to me like it’s the UK, the path style is also very British looking. The path looks like it’s been re-laid, and the concrete and gate look very new. Add to this the flatter grass becoming longer in line with the gate, and it looks like a fence (Probably chain link) has been removed. The bottom hinge of the gate looks like it contains a spring closing device.
I would say that this is a new gate to replace an existing one, and it does make sense to put the gate in first and then add the fence, as it is a lot easier to do if you’re installing a chain link type of fence as you need a post to attach the top and bottom wire to.
Though if it is the UK, then it’ll probably be in this unfinished condition for several months…..
Same with my place…things started, not finished, days become weeks, weeks become months, soon it’s time to start over. I put a new deck behind the mobile home in 2006. Never got the roof over it. Now it’s time to start from scratch…but I’ll have to pay someone else to do it for me. I’m retired…time I have; strength, ambition, and ability are sorely lacking.
A lot better than the one we suffered through in the “Vancouver Bienalle” a few years ago. Looked very like the first photo, but the charlatan carved a seat out of it with a chainsaw and called it “art”

You know this one could dance Mambo Number 5 with just a little bit of training! Start now!
Red dog!

Nobody like her!
“Flo-Jo”… Florence Joyner… gone way too young.

Needs a sign: “Stay Off The Grass”.
“It’s locked! What do I do now?”
Limbo!
Hurdle! ((Ooof))
Ouch.

Not good.
But her remains are taken good care of – cremation by a reliable institution.
My deepest sympathy to your friend…

The HOA decided to become a gated community?
I’ll wade in on this and add my twopenneth worth.

Hey, but it was a kick, and got him some cool points in high school!
Heckuva stunt! Did they offer him a job as a motorcycle cop later?
Gilbert, Arizona maybe? That’s a lot of grass for a desert community…
Yes. The number on the flatbed (tow truck?) is in the 480 area code(took me a bunch of tries to catch it) … which Google says includes Gilbert AZ.
The police car says “Gilbert” too!
Um… I was assuming D. Buffalo was asking whether the Gilbert on the police car was the one in Arizona…. Not that he just recognised the city.

WINNER!
Madeline Otterloop has just picked out her Christmas sweater for 2025!

No, No, No! It looks like the bridge is still standing!!!
The bridge is up, Alec is about to fall down…
It had to be standing, or they couldn’t have blown it up.

So small, and so elegant.
The fluffiest tail, makes the arctic fox look adorable.
You just want to pick one up and pet it…. but don’t try it.
Nippers, I’m sure. But yeah, I’ve always thought foxes were beautiful creatures.
Plus Arctic foxes are tiny…. a red fox can be small, but some weigh upwards of 25 pounds..
An Arctic Fox weighs 6 or 7 pounds, like a cat. Even a schipperke weighs 14.

Probably had to heat up the battery and the engine, too.
As long as she got it warm in time for hubby to drive it to work…
Phbbttt!! :-P

This street is Hard on Clutches!!!
And the people standing behind the car must have a lot of confidence in the lady’s ability to handle one.
Or they have no idea about driving or cars, since it was all pretty new for a lot of people.

Not mine!!! I didn’t do it, no one saw me do it, you can’t prove I did it!!!
Okay, Bart. Methinks thou dost protest too much.

Yes.

Poor bunny. So much snow, so little to feed on. So many predators. What’s a bunny to do???
Keep your eyes, ears, and nose open. And, at the earliest opportunity, make more bunnies.
Bet you don’t have to tell them twice!

Four strong winds, that blow lonely….

Just over one year since the full series… Is January too soon for a return?
I’m asking everybody else, instead of begging Nighthawks…. cos I’m always ready to see Perroâ„¢ again!
Got my vote.
Mine too!
No complaints here – my first visit to Cleo and Company had the very last episode of Perro. So it’s pretty much all new to me.
A fine choice of Perro’s Adventures.
