Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for September 21, 2008

They’ll sell a whole lot of those.

OK, just WHERE do I get one of these?

The benefit should outweigh the cost for only so long.

The question is, why aren’t you chowing down?

OK, “Sir (or is it Madam???) Cleo Newton”…why didn’t you call that force “Delicious” instead of “Gravity”?

Gwen, that is known as a bicycle.

If that kibble was stashed by kibble-jackers, I think the little dog is right about the primary question. They may be back soon!

Accidental kibbles are always the best. When I feed my dogs, I might “accidentally” spill a couple of pieces. Spicy hunts them down with great vigor, even while her full dish is waiting. It’s the parable of the prodigal kibble.

I see that “Little Buddy” is the true practical one of the pair. He asks the question that SHOULD be asked first, then commences to make good use of this bounty Nature has conferred upon him. Meanwhile ’ol Sir Isaac, as usual, has his head in the clouds, doubting his own good fortune. He must either be a fool, or a wealthy man. (Not that those are mutually exclusive.)

Helloooo at last!

Sorry I’m late….. by noow, I’m sure you know we’re posting about

the Sept 21st  2018 “CLEO and COMPANY”

Which you can read on Sherpa

I think the small dog must be somewhat educated… or he’s at least been hanging out with Sir Isaac a lot.

I mean, he’s thinking it over….. asking a question about the kibble.

Most dogs I’ve known, lacking a grounding in philosophy, would eat first and ask questions later.

Except for my little dog…. she would have just looked at it, sniffed it…. and sat back on her haunches..

looking up expectantly, waiting for a steak or at least an open can of Alpo to fall.

And if it were only canned food, it had better have liver in it.

NOOO! I didn’t spoil her. Kibble was what she got….

a good brand, too, with chicken meal and no by-products, cos when I first got her, at 14 months, she’d starved herself refusing the cheap stuff.

Still, she’d hold back, staring at me and hoping for better…. and eventually give me a dirty look and go eat her kibble.

But it was like what Dennis says…. a bit of kibble on the floor was a prize.. unless I put it there on purpose. And I could use single kibbles as treats.

Grog….in re: “why aren’t you chowing down?” …

Are you asking Sir Isaac….. or Gwen?

Cos the fun of that car would be filling up before a drive.

I mean, filling up personally so you’d have some fat to put in the tank.

BTW… AFAIK… that’s not Cleo…..

This isn’t a movie poster; it’s a cartoon about Sir Isaac Basset.

So I’m presuming that’s the real Sir Isaac…. since no one needs to “play” him in his own biography..

Sir Isaac is gonna be upset in a few minutes. His friend just ate all the kibbles and gravity won’t bring down any more of the bags.

Maybe it’s a Kibble Tree. Most dogs wouldn’t question how it got there. The little guy is cute!

I’ll bet the “force” that brought it down was that Evil Squirrel that lives in the tree.

Sir Isaac had a theory about cheese as well — “For every action there is an equal but opposite reaction…”

Wow, they had that ten years ago? why on earth don’t I have one!!!

OH Cleo, that is really cute today, your buddy is having a feast & doesn’t care what caused it!!!
