Lookin’ good, good lookin’
Seriously stuck on you. ©
Hey good lookin’. What’s cha got cookin’? That’s what some gals were saying viewing a “Most Eligible Bachelors” feature in a magazine recently. Pretty, poised, and polished. Definite keepers.
Take this one guy. (Please take him…Oh, you’ll see.)
Mid 30’s, owns a company. Items manufactured overseas. Well, that’s smart, right? Lower costs mean more profit. An astute businessman. Looking good!
What the magazine neglected to mention was that he lives at home with his mom, drives his mom’s car, and if he’s going to be out late, he has to call home and tell his mom.
Exactly what is this one eligible for? (Honey, listen to your gut. Run.)
Molly is keeping an eye, well, a nose on what’s important in these pictures.
She’s making sure all hope doesn’t go down the drain.
Understands about being an underdog.
And abandoning all hope.
Want to see what’s up? Join the pack.
Chasin’ down a good lookin’ dream.

Looking good. No leaks yet. Hope still intact.©

Given he has to call his mom to update her on his whereabouts, perhaps that bachelor isn’t too eligible after all. Appears he’s already taken. 😉

Oedipus complex? Probably not a good relationship to enter. Mom might get jealous. Some Mom’s are good shots.
Watching Molly peering into the downspout immediately triggers a desire to climb up on the roof from the opposite side with a hose and give her a bath through the downspout. Ha!
Fun post Phil. Thank You.

Could be the beginning of a made-for-TV docudrama. Molly’s search habit all started when she spotted a frog sitting in there. She makes this funny snuffling metalic echoing sound trying to sniff out possibilities. Keeps her busy and not digging…so far she hasn’t dismantled the downspout….yet. Thanks for lookin’ over this way

My Vizsla has a big old scab on his nose, probably from doing something similar to Molly, except by the air conditioner. Dogs!! Just like children – have to try it all.
I do like how you used her picture to illustrate your point!

Since it’s cooler now, Molly’s playing outside and all the lizards are having to scramble to any safe haven. Maybe I should wrap some padding around those edges….but she’d just enjoy ripping it off, then settle in for lizard watch. Thanks for scrambling over to chat

Reminds me of that Friends episode (as so many things do!) where Monica is dating some old high school crush and it turns out that he’s still living with his parents – when she indicates surprise, he says “Yes, but I’m allowed to stay out as late as I want!” 🙂

You are probably right – Maybe she’s his marketing manager? Or wants her house and life back?

Molly should go out with any bachelorette looking for her man. Molly would sniff up the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Actually that’s The German’s job now in retirement. She has plenty of experience sniffing them out and no qualms about running them off if necessary (thank goodness…mom can take a rest)

Ah, that Molly. What will she nose up to next? 🙂 As for eligible bachelor, all I can do is echo your words to the girls—run fast, run far (and in the opposite direction if the point’s not clear)!

Glad you clarified the instructions. Forgot some really need the long form directions.
Sometimes we consider renting Molly out as a vacuum – she’s really a nose hound and always seems to be tracking something. Busy. Busy. We do have to wash off her muzzle sometimes…before she rubs it off on your pant leg. (Sounds like a little kid, right?)
Everyone gave Roxie a shot at it, now we’ll sit back and see. Thanks for riding along

Such a temptation. If we were worried about drowning the frog, lizard, or whatever she’s trapped there, we might consider. But we need the mosquito hunters! Thanks for pouring down a comment
