One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for August 15, 2010

That would be about when you’re 21, Ruthie. With some parents maybe even older.

Notice the subtle way the Dad separates being old enough to care for a dog and actually getting one.

Slick parenting skills!

I’m taking notes and I’m a Pawpaw.

Ah, a strip from 2006. That explains why they have a dog now.

Our daughter wanted a Golden Retriver she is 24 we told her this is her responiblity and she does now she wants another one for the first to play with. She and her guy both want one the guy has a job therefore they pay.

John Pike thank you for your service and hard work delivering.

My love wanted some idiot tiny dog till I explained I don’t do rainy dark city streets at 6 AM “Well, we could let her go on the balcony.” Downstairs neighbors would love us. “Dear, I’ll buy you a dog when I’m making a high six figure salary and we’re living in some wooded suburb..”

in our zoo, we have naked mole rats and alligators in the same exhibit, no other critters

Good Dad there!

Well what do you expect, Chikuku, from a dog who wears a French beret?!

(These old strips are actually more entertaining in light of current story lines!)

And I bet the alligators don’t have any shoes–the mole rats ate them all?

LOL: Giant shoe-eating mole rats.
