Tall blond. 🙂
I would love to visit the hotel in the park where they walk up and stick their heads in the windows looking for snacks.
I can’t remember the park or the country.

Since it’s been around since 1932, I’m guessing this is the place you mean (the picture is the link).

Not always. My last dog did a leg lift at times when leaving her “calling card”.

How did Cleo tie a red ribbon around that green poop bag?

The same way she plays her machine gun violin.

Very carefully.

My female Pomeranian always lifted her leg, but not sideways…..forward! She would kind of hunch her body forward, then stick out her right rear leg toward her head. It really was quite comical!

And, it worked for her.

Re: the Sinatras
They were father and daughter singing a love duet. I’ve always thought there was something wrong with that.
Two side notes:
1) I don’t think either of them sang at all well.
2) There was a minor rumour the horse head scene was based on an incident from Frank Sinatra’s life.
 
And now to bed as I was up during the wee hours of this morning (Sunday, 19, 2021).

Nancy has a very limited range, about three notes. But because she is Frank’s daughter, she can get music that she can sing.

Don’t all trees smell? (at least their trunks)

I rarely swim with any trees, so I don’t often get to see them in their trunks.

I’ve never noticed any particular odor… except for maybe from black walnut trees. But they’re pretty pungent even in street clothes.

Their bark is generally worse than their bite, thank goodness. Not that one has ever bitten me.

Okaaaay….

Are we really supposed to think that Cleo did what we all seem to think she did, to make the tree smell funny?

If so, I’d think that scent would be familiar enough for Claude to just say “Hey, this tree smells like dog pee.”

Cleo looks a little guilty, but not totally. Is there anything else Cleo, or even that tree on its own, could have gotten up to?

And yeah, Happy x3 is right… the girls usually squat.

But like Mr. Sherman, I had a small female dog who sometimes tried to do it like a male.

My impression was that she was trying very hard to be “butch”, because she’d smelled pee above the ground.

At least, that’s what I assumed she was sniffing before she lifted her leg and tried to aim at it.

But she could only “fire” about as high as her back… maybe a foot off the ground.

To get pee up to the height of Claude’s nose would be a mean feat for a male Great Dane.

Could Cleo have crept under the tree without knocking it over, and used the water container in the tree stand, instead of going out in the snow? A difficult shot to aim, crouching under there, but maybe.

Then would the smelly stuff have been pulled up to human height by capillary action?

Hmmm….

….

Meanwhile… female dogs lifting their legs reminds me (everything reminds me of something, doesn’t it?)

Non sequitur… or maybe sort of sequitur… I’ve had two female schipperkes, unrelated, several years apart.

The 2nd one was the leg lifter.

The first one never did a male type leg lift… but she hated the rain. If the ground was wet, or the one time she was actually in the snow, which she doubly hated… she tried to lift both rear legs.

She’d step reluctantly but daintily into the wet grass, sniff out a spot, then do her best to balance on her two front legs.

Of course that only lasted a few seconds… but watching her start with her rear in the air was very funny.

(Sorry, Rosie… I don’t mean to laugh at your memory… but you know…)

…after the 2001 attacks (don’t forget there were to be at least four attacks that day / United Airlines flight 93 was said to have been set for the Capitol Building).

Dad worked there during the 90’s. He retired a few years before the second attack. He was there for the first attack, the bomb in the parking garage. He walked down dozens of floors in the dark and the smoke.

…and the door wasn’t even properly closed.
Our cat would just have it pulled open.

Isn’t that just like a cat, to take the easy way out? Our pittie here looks quite proud of itself for ensuring that this %$#@& door won’t give it any trouble in the future.
