Red and Rover by Brian Basset for February 21, 2017

Therefore I don’t own a dog!! I dread excretes coming out from the body!

The ad next to me says “Land Rover”. What a coincidence

My dog attempts to run away as soon as he’s done. (Wish I could join him.)

Yup!

There are people in my neighborhood who do NOT pick up after their dog, and there are some people in my neighborhood who do pick up but the drop the bag right there instead of taking it home to deposit in their outside garbage.

I live in a trailer park. The rule is to pick up after your dog. I do—-religiously. Unfortunately, there are stray cats and a few unattended dogs and an assortment of wild critters who stroll through. Guess who gets blamed if someone steps in a mess. I kindly show them my little trash can on my porch and remind them that they have NEVER seen my dog out unattended.

Red doing his duty after Rover does his, love it!!!

I’ve often wondered as I scoop if my dogs think their poop is golden or something special, because I always rush to collect and save it!

I wish everybody would clean up after their dogs.

This would have been an anachronism in the time this strip is supposedly set. In the late 60s – early 70s, nobody did this. In fact, a lot of times dogs were allowed to roam freely – Rover does that sometimes, too. Who cleans up after him then?

Good job, Red!
