“how relieved, how eased, the whole world suddenly became!
how the great questions all simplified themselves at the same instant—did you feel it?”

I’m afraid this beautiful photo of the Belgian pride – peeing, of all things – is going to stir up a lot of excitment from Patagonia, and the meaning may be lost.
Oh, Lucile!
Just a preemptive action; you may want to prepare for the replica.
I will stiffen my sinews.
When my dog was a puppy and I was housebreaking him, I used the phrase “Get, Busy”, which to even to this day can invoke a release of one kind or another from him. Question: Why is it every time I use the toilet my dog sits next to me and waits? Do you think he is trying to train me? ;\ Loving the shot brings, back memories when I visited Brussels.
Dogs will always seek to gain the upper hand? Brussel not quite so boring perhaps? Thank you 😉
This photo combined with tightshot’s comment gave me an idea for a fountain of my own. A dog lifting his leg up to to relieve himself on the tire of a car.
Good idea Amy, can’t help thinking how it would be treated as a Weekly Photo Challenge 😉
Sorry, I can’t even… And I won’t. 😛
Holding it in?
But not much longer.
Relief may come soon?
I hope so! Do you know anything about it?
Yes, I do.
You don’t say!
I do, indubitably.
Well that gave me a giggle!! My boys havs a habit of being like dogs and thinking they can just pee anywhere i suppose theres something libersting in that
Boys will be boys? But hopefully not, as in this case, to greet people as they enter a restaurant?
haha thats funny i missed this, yup they might if they were allowed lol x
You will need to keep a close eye on them then…
oh i do, don’t you worry, they have mastered whipping it in and out, quick piddle, faster than lightening the deed is done
No words. Really…
Oh Belgium. You gotta love a country known for peeing. Nice shot. I do take pics of lil’ pupper peeing sometimes. I even have a post about it. Very low brow. Yours though, more highbrow😄
Thank you. It is a curious country where a national icon is a small boy peeing in the street as everyone fights to photo the act!
LOL Andy that’s fabulous. Heh heh. What a giggle.
Thank you…what a crazy country?
Very. But I want to visit anyway!!
Good plan!
They better have good mussels and bread there! They do at ours: http://www.mannequinpis.com/
We go there infrequently, but they offer the *best* steamed mussels I’ve ever eaten, with a white wine sauce, and delicious crusty bread. They also have an excellent beer list. Yum!
Sounds delicious Mitch, I didn’t try the food in this place, it is an alley off the grote markt and is a notorious tourist trap…
