 And look at this settin'...am I dog-tellin?  NOPE...but here's a Jack-tip: Watch out for those prickly cacti! 

 Tellin' this loco location?  NOPE!  But hey glad I wasn't a bad dawg back in the days!  Not my idea of top-dog accommodations! 

 Where am I?  NOPE not tellin'.....just ring your own bells in findin' this grand spot!

Rollin'...rollin'...rollin' down the Rio.  NOPE not tellin here either!  Okay...I think you get the idea.  Go play "Get the Picture" on your own.........
