Agnes by Tony Cochran for May 06, 2020

On the bright side, waterskiing should be a breeze.

While waterskiing, Agnes, just don’t forget those 5 nose clips!

Wonder if Agnes’ feet are needed to sort of support and counter-balance her nose.

Yes, but Agnes has some great balance!

You’d think those feet would keep her well grounded.

So, Tad has big feet too? ☺

The number one rule on making a list.. never use a long word if a short one will do.

C’mon, Trout – she has her whole life for the advertising & entertainment industries to convince her she’s inadequate; be a pal and explain to her that, Playboy magazine* & Madison Avenue not withstanding, there really isn’t just one way to be beautiful. (Although, Aggie already seems to have a much better grasp of that than Trout.)

*I may have (ahem) accidentally seen a Playboy or two in my youth, and every girl in it looked like she was made with a cookie-cutter; when they started letting non-Caucasian women in, they looked exactly the same, too. I once stumbled across a website called something like “Suicide Grlz: An Alternative Beauty”. Sure enough, take away the not-found-in-nature hair colors, the ink, and the hardware, and…….yep – Playboy. I just want the record to show that my tastes in women are not Hugh Hefner’s tastes. Ladies, if you don’t look like the “standard” he foisted on us, don’t worry; it is highly probable that you are, in fact, attractive – and I promise you, you are attractive to someone!

I swear, with friends like that…

We kept the runt of our last, and it is the last, the vet made sure of that, litter of puppies and it took her 18 months to grow into her paws. Yes, she is a Labrador.
