Marmaduke by Brad Anderson for July 02, 2018

Initiating chaos in 3…2…1…

He just had to open his mouth didn’t he?

I hope you’re in the mood for a run, Phil!

My elderly elkhound didn’t notice a squirrel on the fence by the vet’s door the other day. She can’t be bothered with anything smaller than a possum.

Just as when no one mentions when a pitcher is throwing a no-hitter, you never mention about going for a perfect walk until they’re back at the house…

Right up until his shoulder was dislocated.

Oops?

…annnd we have lift off…

That’s gonna hurt.

I think Marmaduke has been hanging around King Tut too much. The butt-waggle is usually something cats do before going for attack. I’ve never seen a dog do it.

Get your neck brace ready, Phil!

My English Springer Spaniel, Samantha, initially chased squirrels but now she knows it’s pointless. One time she chased a squirrel who went up a tree, stopped, turned around and made mocking noises at us. Squirrels are funny : )

I have the same problem taking my parents Great Dane for a walk. Squirrels and cats are fair game if they run. I have to hold on tight and tell him not to run. Fortunately he listens. If I don’t see the critter first however I have the same problem as above.

Cue the Benny Hill Show theme song!!!

Spoke too soon.
