The Ranch’s ‘great invention’ is headed off to hospital for the next couple of days so we’ll no doubt be late reading your posts. We hope you smile as much as the nurses and patients will that we’re going to visit this week. Happy Monday, peeps!
Live, love, bark! 🐾
But what about us birds????
We’re guessing you’re used to going up and down, back and forth. 🦜
I can only imagine the happiness Norman will bring to all who meet him <3
He did really well and handled the crowds better than I did. My ‘people’ skills sure diminished over the past year but with Norman by my side, I hope to regain some of those unused skills over the next few months. 🤞🏼
You are a good pair. Thanks for bringing smiles to so many!
Norman is the real star and does all the work. I just drive him. 😉
That is a lovely comic panel. Best to you and Norman on your hospital visits. It is a wonderful thing to bring joy to others!
Thank you; Norman did really well, now to conquer the elevator. 😉
We bet you and Norman are making a lot of people’s weeks much brighter! ♥
He sure drew a crowd wherever we went. As he gets better with managing that aspect, I suspect he’ll be a rock star.
Dogs were invented by squirrels to give them someone to torment…
That’s pretty much spot on. At least in Elsa’s mind.
Have fun!
Love and licks,
Cupcake
We had loads of fun…and I didn’t have to try to lift Norman’s fat bum up a flight of stairs this go-round. LOL Seems he figured it out all by his self. Next on the list…the dreaded elevator. Cue the dramatic music.
Lulu: “We do try! Happy visiting!”
Have a great week Monika and peeps.
Thank you. Right back atcha!
OMD, this was Ma’s FAVORITE comics!!! She misses it so much! Of course, you knows her bias towards OES’s, so it’s no surprise, butts it was just a FABulous and funny comic! That and Opus…miss that one too…sigh. Anyhu, Good Luck Norman!!! I knows you’ll make lots of peeps smile with your OES pawsonality!!! 😘
Kisses,
Ruby ♥
Seems like this was a favorite of a whole lotta peeps, Ruby. Your mum has great taste. Norman did pretty well yesterday; still pretty overwhelmed with the slick floors and elevators but he did real well on the stairs. Yay!
Love that comic! FBOFW has always been one of my faves:)
Norman, have a great couple of working ‘shifts’!
A charming yet honest to gosh humorous way to look at life. He did well though still a tad overwhelmed with all the attention, slippery floors and elevator. He seems to have conquered the stairs nicely. Thanks goodness…I’m not physically able to lift his big bum up 30 stairs! 😆
I’m sure the hospital visits will go very well.
They went pretty well, all things considered. We hope today is even better.
😁
Time to earn that kibble, Norman!
Challenge has been well accepted though there’s always room for improvement. 😉
Right now hubby, the 2 hooligans, and I are enjoying sunshine, a lovely breeze, comfortable temps, and shade in our own back yard. Later I have to brown the turkey for Ducky’s meals this week.
Sounds like a great Monday in our books. Here’s hoping the rest of the week is equally enjoyable.
Enjoy the visits…will Norman be wearing a bowler hat and carrying a rolled up umbrella?
Ha! As if it rains very often in this mountain desert. Norman’s official attire is strictly restricted to the purple bandana, but even though I’ve ‘slightly’ biased, he wears it well and always managed to draw a crowd. 😍 This dog is a complete people magnet!
Love this and enjoy making people happy! Can’t wait to hear about it.
Many thanks, Diane. Norman did well yesterday and hopefully today will do even better. Those slippery floors and the elevator have flummoxed him but he’s pretty much mastered the stairs. Woot!
They are indeed and they get blamed a lot for the stuff humans do. Pups rock.
Have a fabulous day and week. Scritches all around, a smooch to Norman and a hug to mom. ♥
Thanks, Sandee. Norman rocked yesterday and hopefully will do so again today. 🤞🏼 We’ve got our paws crossed.
Have lotss of fun Sweet Norman an Miss Monika…Elsa can mee come over an wee hang out???
**purrss** BellaDharma an ((huggiess__ LadyMew
Thanks BellaDharma and LadyMew. Yesterday was a good day and we’re hoping for another good one today.
HURRAH HURRAH!!!!
Yes, what would we do without our wonderful 4 legged friends. Happy Monday, Monika!
Our 4-legged furries make any day better!
We know you’ll bring joy and smiles wherever you go!
Smiles and several crowds! Norman is already becoming a real crowd pleaser. 💙
Pets are the best.
Indeed they are-I prefer them over 95% of the peeps. 😍
Maybe even 99%
You’re probably right! 😈
Enjoy the hospital visits. I know you’ll bring lots of joy to folks!
Thanks, we’re doing our best. Yesterday was a good one and hopefully today will be better. Norman is starting to get the hang of things, now if he’d just not freak out as much in the elevators. 😇 He almost turns into “Flat Stanley” but Sam used to do the same but became a real seasoned pro in no time.
I know the Flat Stanley thing! He’ll get over it with some practice. So glad he’s getting the hang of it.
He’s a clever boy and by the end of our shift, he handled the elevator much better. Onward and upward, right?
Absolutely!
absolutely… a life without is possible…but not the same..
Indeed it is not. Thankfully we don’t have to even try at it.
We’ll miss you!
Hugs, Pam and Teddy too
Thanks Teddy and sweet mum. Yesterday was a good day and hopefully today will be even better.
I miss For Better or Worse! Such a wonderful comic strip!
Dogs ARE the greatest invention 🙂
It’s was a feel good cartoon about ordinary life that everyone could appreciate. Happy Monday.
Yes, it was.
Thank you and Happy Monday to you, Monika!
