Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!

About Me
- Cro Magnon
- I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching). Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
He does look very contented.
ReplyDeleteHow funny,he must be so afraid of you lol I imagine just like the kids and grandchildren he has worked out that you are a pushover...poor Cro
ReplyDeleteYou need a larger sofa!
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome dog. We had one built on that scale, Ned, he was gorgeous.
S W France weather report: FOUL.
ReplyDeleteThe afore mentioned Bill the lurcher use to creep into my room and get onto the bed with me in the night - I never had the heart to turf him off.
ReplyDeleteYup, you RULE the roost!
ReplyDeleteLooks like he left you a little space.
ReplyDeleteLooks like my house at the moment Cro with two visiting cats and one dog!
ReplyDeleteWhat the heck, right?
I believe the poor beast is completely prostrate with fear....I'm quite certainly he would obey if only he could.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with that. He looks set to stay awhile.
ReplyDeleteI don't even bother anymore. I just wash the covers.
ReplyDeleteMr. M, he does look quite comfortable.
Too bloody comfortable. I usually put a chair on it overnight... I forgot.
ReplyDeleteDo you know what? It's just the same in our house. ;)
ReplyDeleteI suspect many other houses too!
ReplyDeletewell I'm finished choking myself to death with laughter...indeed no need to bother! K9s and sofas were made just for each other...dog's rule!
ReplyDeleteOur cats and dogs have always thought they ruled our house, too. (Because they do!)
ReplyDeleteHow funny. I was reading through the comments and feeling guilty. The next thing I used to hear after the alarm was Duke thumping from the sofa to the floor. I was thinking how awful of me to have trained my dog to lie to me. Then I got to the chair.....Well, at least you aren't treated every morning to a sofa embedded with a floating layer of collie hair.
ReplyDeleteHa! What are you complaining about, he's left you a space to squeeze into! He's a handsome fellow, I must say.
ReplyDeletewelcome to my world
ReplyDeleteOh that made me laugh out loud!! I know that feeling very well indeed!!
