Hi Mammakin–nice to hear from you.
I’d hate to see Poodles suffer any more indignity than I’ve already subjected the poor pooches to. Alito is represented by a Portuguese Water Dog. Yup, sure looks like a Poodle to me as well.
I suspect Merc will soon chime in with one of his waggish comments.
Hi back CrewDad, and I stand corrected. On second glance, not a poodle. I was barking up the wrong tree.
LOL- I’ll refrain from commenting on your last sentence. I’m not certain Merc will have the same restraint.
Perhaps an enterprising artist will produce velvet paintings of the Supreme Court canines. SCC paintings would be a nice addition to those of Elvis that are already on the market. The paintings can be sold at college (Hampshire comes to mind) fundraisers and in Tijuana and Juárez.
“I suspect Merc will soon chime in with one of his waggish comments.”
Ideally, I would try to restore order. But I fear I am too late.
Too late my Old Man’s backside. I know you too well. I have no doubt that you’ve been following my posts for the last two hours waiting to jump in at the opportune time to make the ‘perfect post’. Which you did. I’m impressed. Nice job.
I think I have to name my new puppy Halmilton now.
Good company?
