Dogie Stogie

,I've been corresponding with a bunch of friends lately, both new and old, and as it happens all of them need a great big old Chet fix right now, for very different reasons. Jane, Lisa, Wendi, Fiona, Jen, Mary, Shila and especially Chris, this one's for you.A good cigar, a sunny evening. Dog gone it, I think I left my matches in my other tux. I'll check.

Not there. A nice stogie, and I have nothing to light it with. Wait. Here comes a gentleman. Perhaps he will help me. I hope he will not notice that I am beginning to drool. I am not ordinarily a drooly person, but this is a meaty cigar.Excuse me! I hate to bother you, but...would you be able to give a light to an American gentleman?I just so happen to have my lighter with me. Happy to oblige.Ahhhh. At last. Puparillo Supreme. Finest Cuban. Puff, puff, puff.A little bit harsh, I must say. My humidor must be malfunctioning. Ack! Gack! Don't worry, Mether. It is only kennel cough.The afterglow lasts. Anyone for tennis?
It is a good life I lead.

Thanks to Bill of the Birds for the light (for Chet's stogie and the inspiration for this post)

My stomach still hurts from laughing too hard! Oh, my...

You KNOW I'll be referring to this post somehow, in the next few days.

Thanks for the break-up here, Julie (as I wipe tears from my eyes). God, I love that dog.

All Boston Terriers deserve a good Puparillo Supreme in the evening and all humans deserve a good Boston Terrier every day. Thanks for the CB fix.

A handsome dog, a handsome man and a Cuban cigar. Life is indeed good!

Thanks Julie, for sharing Chet with us. Your story made me laugh out loud. Chet's got the most expressive face and it's so nice he's not shy when the camera comes out.

Ohhh he's such a sweetie - even with that stinkie stogie!

Ahhh... Chet.
I feel better.

Thank goodness Bill had a light. Otherwise, the drool would have disintegrated the stogie!

I think that tops anything my rabbit has ever done. Hats off and well played, Mr. Baker, well played.

Now, as a Kat(&Dog)Doc, I must make the following statement:

"The Veterinarian General has deemed that smoking is bad for your health and advises that all cigars be made of edible ingredients rather than tobacco."

Public service announcement over, I must say ...



VERY FUNNY!

Ah, KatDoc. As predictable as the rain. My day wouldn't be complete without a good finger-shakin' from you. ;-)
There's a Blogger profile up...can a blog be far behind? Will we all be rushing over there? Oh, yes.

I'd kiss him even with cigar breath. Can't wait to show this to Fiona.... And I think this may be the sequence that gets CB his own book deal!

Just what I needed to start my day! Priceless! Love to you and your family - hope to chat soon!

He's like a little canine hotdog brother.

Ahhhh, the good life.

Great way to start my Memorial Day -- a good laugh to brighten things up! Thank you and Bill and Chet for that!

OMG! I'm dying over that. All he needs is a Chet-tini to go along with that and he's set. He's both hilarious and debonair at the same time. Not many guys can pull that off . Go Chet!!

OK, that's it. I'm not even a dog person, being more of the feline persuasion, but this is side-achingly funny. Love the Puparillo look. Chet bears a striking resemblance to my own favorite cigar smokin' hombre (aka my husband) when he takes that first puff of a really good see-gar. Priceless!

OMG, Julie, this is too funny. That second pic of chet reminds me of Winston Churchill, seriously. I love this series. Very inspired. Good of that Bill chap to give the dog a light!

Hilarious photos Julie. Robin beat me to the Churchill allusion, so I thought about trying for Freud instead, but I'm not sure that even ol' Siggy would say that sometimes a meat cigar is just a meat cigar.

A dogie with a stogie--priceless.

If there's a more expressive canid on the face of the earth, I'll eat my chapeau.

Life is now complete for the day, as I've had my Baker fix! What a handsome gentleman he is!

Chet-man appears to be saying..in his best WC Fields imitation...
"wanna puff on my stogie?"

Way to go Chety!!! You make me laugh! Your da best!!!!

Julie, you always make my day! Chet is too funny and I just love his expressions. What a guy!

I am Nature Knitter's mom, and I so enjoy your blog, the birds and scenery are beyond my imagination, and the readings are so colorful I can close my eyes and I'm there.
Sunday's blog of Chet Baker made me laugh and cry both at the same time.
With his permanent tuxedo and good looks of Winston Churchill I believe he should be called "SIR" Chet Baker. It would be a name befitting of his station in life.
The pictures are so adorable and "Mether" should be so proud of him.

Play Roulette for free as often as you like, get a feel for the game and how to place you bets.
Free Roulette is a great game with many ways to bet so learn strategy and have fun.

Roulette is a casino and gambling game named after the French word meaning "small wheel".

The roulette wheel is believed to be a fusion of the English wheel games ... The American style roulette table with a wheel at one end is now used in most casinos.

Is a Free Roulette Systems 100% Effective Or Should I Pay For One?

They are a dime a dozen, but there are only a few
roulette strategies that really work. Also I think it is great if you
can find a Winning Roulette Systems, because these roulette systems really do beat the wheel time and tiem again.
