That retractable leash will get you nowhere fast, Benny.

The leader of the Pack (Vroom Vroom)

It’s an alpha male thing.

Well, Benny always thought he was the leader of the pack….

After all…. he’s always been free to do whatever he wants at home, as long as he clears his plans with Harriet…and Cujo….and Bluebell the cat.

Dogsniff…. be careful what you say about Bluebell…

She can put your ash in a sling.

Did Linda post that she was sick?Sorry, I must have missed it…..Linda, I made you some soup…it might work better if it were more specific, but since I don’t know what ails you….Hope it helps anyway!

That reminds me…. where’s the Linguist?

Linguist, did you see the blue corn I found for you?It needs you!

Monkey… Forgot to say … I’m so glad you liked the shirt.

And Stel ….Thank you for the mood mustaches!

I’m wearing the “Cool” one right now…..and I feel so cool….

Benny’s gonna be taking his dog for a drag in a minute.

I’m talking about the soup, of course, it looks good…

Obviously Benny is not following my precept: Dogs, Kids, and Horses – You must be smarter than the beast to train it !( Personally, I was good with two out of three…)

People have learned it’s not wise to wave fingers within biting distance of my face.

HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY……!!!

B B Benny, cool your jets.

“I’m telling you, Mable, today we came really close to having that idiot Benny as leader of the pack. It’s enough to make a girl want to get drunk. Hey, Fenton………”++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++LOL !!!It WAS a close call…

Yes, I agree that Benny is not a fit leader, but neither am I..I was just trying out my lover’s treadmill (unfortunately I was alone and had seen trainers use short bursts of fast, always returning to a walking speed; I could not reach the dial because at higher speed I need both hands on the rails; when I let go to change back, fell on my chest and skinned my knee (emergency off pulled off the robe, not the machine, so it kept going until I coulds get up). Bummer! Have to stick to slow speed while alone.

I hope the dog bites his butt. The dog is not going to sniff it in subservience mode. The dog is thinking. “Fine you lead, I will walk behind you and let the bomber cats get you first.”And argue with the dog. You can not win that argument I know I have three and have never won the argument. When they want attention, snacks, food, they are unrelenting. But I love it.

Has Benny been fixed yet?

Beautiful crteatures. I would rather trust a dog than I would trust a human. But dogs, too, are capable of being duplicitive.

I fell pretty much like the first woman, but only because I let go of one hand to try to lower speed or stop. I was doing fine at walking speed.

How do we know if Benny is the dog or the man?

Love that dog with the hair and the drink! ROFLMAO! WHERE did you EVER find that?

bev, what’s wrong with Linda? I noticed she didn’t post at “Ten Cats” this am (A DELIGHTFUL STRIP), which I see *Susan has discovered, :-) but I thought Linda was just busy.

bev thank you! I know a lot of people are getting sick these days. I hope she feels better REAL SOON!

A blast from the past:
