Close to Home by John McPherson for November 19, 2023

quite a family you got there buddy! glad that is working out for you’

Reminds meThis is the maltThat lay in the house that Jack built.

This is the rat,That ate the maltThat lay in the house that Jack built.

This is the cat,That kill’d the rat, etc.

Should have attached Bleeb at the very front.

He got a carry ALL.

Is this a Russian joke?

Efficient, but looks heavy.

He should put something really heavy on his back as a counterbalance. I suggest a fifth grader’s school backpack.

There was an old lady who swallowed a fly, but I don’t know why she swallowed the fly.

An evolutionary design.

I was in Mae Hong Son, Thailand a number of years back. There was a family of 4 on a Vespa type motorbike, Dad was sitting on the very rear of the seat, arms forward around mom and the 2 kids in front of him, the small dog had it’s rear feat in a kid’s lap and it’s front feet on the handlebars as if it were driving. Meh Hong Song is a busy city and I was pretty concerned about dad trying to operate the motor scooter safely.

John McPherson’s people are sure a sorry-looking lot!

Recently there was a bargain sale at the chain pet store.

LIKEd for sheer ridiculousness!

Looks like an inside-out Matryoshka doll.

I hear they’re a close knit family….

Everyone goes for a walk when Eddie goes for a walk.

Ah the single dad life….

Oh my aching back!

Ah! A super-Snuggli™ !

Man’s got one heck of a back and set of muscles.

Dorks on parade…

He is spoiling that bunch.

I wonder if she is going to St Ives?

They all must be sedated, they normally won’t hold still that long, especially dogs.

Ha! No more cargo pants!

Now it’s just getting real stupid, but what do you expect. Stupid is as stupid does…..

I don’t know how he manages to use the restroom!

Hiya Bleeb! Target approaching! Happy Hunting!!!!!! :)

Shame, he left Bleeb at home, but like the faithful it is, it followed him…

I hope descends on a happy note.

“And when did you start having back problems, sir?”

Live action Totem Pole.

“On my way to St. Ives…………….”

I was kind of expecting Bleeb in the last holder.
