A slice of red Bermuda onion, on a cutting board, with what looks like the face of a stoned person in the middle of the onion's concentric rings.

That's great. Similarly, I once had a stoned-face red onion on my cutting board...

Ah, The Gilded Age!

Benny and Jerry, two miniature schnauzers a little over two years old -- Jerry's almost all black and Benny's salt-and-pepper. They're laying in the grass, heads up looking at me taking the picture, both side-eyeing the camera.

What a sweet little boy!

Jerry, an all-black miniature schnauzer, except for a touch of white on his chest and left paw, with a new toy. He's looking up, sweetly, at the camera; his tail is in motion.

Jerry, an all-black miniature schnauzer, except for a touch of white on his chest and left paw, with a new toy, and standing, next to him, looking at the camera, is Benny, a salt-and-pepper miniature schnauzer, who is looking, wide-eyed, at the camera.

Jerry. With a new toy.
And then along comes...
Benny. Just being Benny.

Ah, glad to know he's doing better!!!

Oh my, sorry to hear that. Best wishes for and easy-and-comfortable resolution.

Oh, sorry to learn of your loss - sending condolences and warm wishes for ease and comfort.

What a beautiful backyard! And he's doing a great job...!!

Thanks -- they're littermates and it's really quite incredible how often they're in perfect lockstep. If they could swim, they could easily do that Synchronized Swimming thing!

Benny asked me to tell you, "thanks, guys!"

Benny, a salt-and-pepper miniature schnauzer, celebrating Won't Look Wednesday by, well, by not looking! His head is turned to his left, as he sits on the patio.

Dude, you're so correct: It *is* an idiot wind that blows across the nation.

Thanks! Most of the time we call them Ben-Ben and Jer-Bear, but they also answer to the sound of a bag of treats being opened!

Yup, they're on the job, watching the perimeter!

Thanks!

Thanks -- I do too!

Benny and Jerry, two miniatures schnauzers, one looking straight ahead, one looking over the should of the photographer.

Benny and Jerry. Benny looking at one thing. Jerry looking at something else.

No! They stuck something in my ear, but they left that end alone -- finally, there's dignity in the veterinary exam!

That's so funny because he does, in fact, have electric boots and a mohair suit!

Thanks. There was, indeed, a quick get-a-away. I know: I drove the get-a-away car!

A triptych of Jerry at the vet. Apparently, using only his eyes and a slight turn of his head, he's indicating something to the effect of, "hey! hey!! get me the hell outta here!!!"

Oh my, that's a sweet and smart looking bunch!

Thank you. I sense they try to retain their dignity. Well, at least under some circumstances!

Benny (a salt-and-pepper miniature schnauzer with brunette highlights) and Jerry (an all-black, except for a white left paw and a patch of white on his chest, miniature schnauzer), sitting on a white kitchen chair looking past the right shoulder of the photographer. It’s as if they’re sitting at the kitchen table, which is visible at bottom.
