Prozac anybody?

The famed Norwegian Alpine race champion, Cleo Woofbark shown during the Winter Olympics.

A nice bright poster for these grey months, thanks Stel Bel! But do bassets really get that active?

Morrie? What’s got into you?

Hi, everybody! I’m back.

And I’m here, like all of you, to comment on the

Jan 17th  2019 “CLEO and COMPANY”

 

A fine modern travel poster from StelBel….

Which you can see on Sherpa

Look at Cleo’s fine form…. rudder-like ears flying in the wind…

this is as lithe as I’ve ever seen her!

The Norwegian Travel Association was very lucky to get her to pose, when they wanted to update this old poster for Norway’s State Railways.

I mean…. where would you rather ski?

Where you could watch him, or Cleo, on the slopes?

 

Meanwhile… I don’t think we should meet at Morrie and JoAnn’s, until Morrie’s back on his meds.

Morrie doesn’t believe in sharing.

I’d rather do winter in Australia.

 

My Favorite Part™ was each gentle ray of sunshine peeking over the mountain top.

P.S. Why Ray? Why not Bob, or Betty, or Morrie?

“Do you want to build a snowman?”

No! I want to build a sand castle. On a beach. Where it’s warm!

uh…..I meant to say Pootch Cafe, not Citizen Dog…..

that’s still my story and …….

Love, love, LOVE how svelte our Cleo is skiing down that mountain. Somehow I’m missing her missile launcher hanging off her back. Oh well, maybe since she’s a visitor in another country, she’s being a good girl.

Do any of you remember an ad for Bandini Fertilizer about 50 years ago……..they ran a promo from “Bandini Mountain” saying something about the announcer is ready to ski down the mountain. In fact, that area of San Bernadino (CA) was known for it’s cattle feed lots, and they heaped up the “droppings” to age. The smell was atrocious, but it was great fertilizer.

I wonder why people (or dogs) would want to go skiing in a place called “Oh slow!”

Never take in hoarders. :)
