Joop's Dog Log - Tuesday Apr 20

I`m Boxcar Joop, truckin` down the tracks, waiting for a freight train...
"Ev`rytime I see that lonesome railroad train
It makes me wish I was goin` home again"
(Jimmy Rogers)

We have old diesel trains in our part of the country.
This railroad line connects the seaport of Delfzijl with the city of Groningen.
I`ve traveled here on a passenger train once.
My human bought me a dog ticket that said: `good for one dog`. It was 3 euros.
That`s the rate for all dog tickets anywhere in The Netherlands.
Humans must pay for the distance they travel, dogs always pay the same price,
no matter how far they go. Strange huh? A dog can ride the Dutch trains all day long,
whereever he wants to go, for just 3 euros, and a human has to pay extra for every mile.

But what`s that rumbling noise I`m hearing...?!

Train songs are the backbone of Americana folk & blues, oh yeah! "everytime I hear that whistle, I hang my head and cry" Johnny Cash, Folsum Prison Blues. Rock on Joop!

Goedemorgen JOOP en HENK. O,o doe jij niet een beetje gevaarlijk daar op die treinbaan? Hoewel je bent snel genoeg om weg te komen. Wel een heel mooi plaatje heeft de baas daar weer gemaakt. Waar gaat deze rails naar toe? Mooie dag vandaag en de groetjes van DIEN.

I`d get off them railroad tracks pretty darn fast Joop! Or you`ll be a doggy burger in no-time!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
maximillion @ 2004-04-20 02:45 said:
Doggy burger, lol! That is very reasonable to have a fixed rate for the dogs. Dogs are always great travel companions. (humans, well, not so much!)

Thanks for your visit. Miss Chelsea is at home sitting on her dogmiss pillow asking for treats!

ACK!!!! Don`t you scare me like that, Joop! It`s not nice to tease yr elders. Why, if anything happened to you - well, we won`t even think about that and that`s all there is to it!

Hello from my new office room! Yes, We already had an eye on her! It was our annual injection against everything a dog could make ill (rabies etc.) and Bosse needed nearly 8 years to behave like an adult again after this big dog-attack in his youth. But sweet doc Chantal managed to get him clear again and now no more leather gloves are necessary....

There is no picture I look more forward to than Joop's.
Guest 20-Apr-2004 19:27
