That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for September 06, 2018

Dog: This guy makes one move on her, his ankle gets it!

“Would it impress you if I went over this waterfall in a barrel?”

“Here’s rosemary; that’s for remembrance.” SPLASH!

I know thee! Thou art a fishmonger!

Dog way too smart to fetch stick.

Spies talking by the waterfall so their conversation can’t be secretly recorded.

“Just spit-ballin’ here, but maybe if we promised a door prize, more folks would attend our ‘Jaunty Hats in the Park’ meetings.”

Oh Reginald, I can’t let you kiss me while Rover is watching!

Don’t jump ,Lydia-.You have so much to live for!

John…This is where I come to think my deepest thoughts, and there’s been something bothering me lately……Do you think they’ll ever make a sequel to “Ferris Buellers Day Off”?

He’s gonna have a real problem when they go to Niagara Falls for the honeymoon.

“As you can see, my dad can build a great bridge but he is a lousy plumber.

Is that his “wing-dog.”

Maybe if I cross my legs even more I will get another 10 minutes to propose.

Does your dog bite?

You have troubles? Wait! I gotta tell my pal Garfunkle I have a great new idea for song lyrics.

Let’s play Pooh Sticks.

“Hey, let’s invent Pooh Sticks.”

The day that John learned that beavers bite.

“I’m falling for you Mildred. Get it? Falling? Wait! Where’re you going? Was it something I said?” And that’s how Clueless Creek got its name.

Damm there is no wind or I would show you how to fly with my hat.

People unclear on the subject, “Are we trysting now?”

That’s his designated hunting station.

Back in 2015, this was auctioned by Christie’s for 4,375 pounds (see https://www.christies.com/lotfinder/Lot/edmund-blair-leighton-1852-1922-the-trysting-place-5956279-details.aspx). Other than that, it seems to be virtually unknown. There’s plenty about the artist; you can easily drown in online copies of his famous work “Accolade” that depicts the knighting of of a young man by a beautiful queen.

“Are you sure those puppies can swim?”
