Lesson here……Their lives are short, their senior years come fast. Don’t put off that trip to the park. Let them enjoy at least a tiny piece of the world other than their backyards while they have a chance.
I’m wondering how hold Puddles is. Was there an episode where Puddles arrived as a puppy? If so, he might be middle aged — about 6 years. If he was the family dog before Luann was in Junior High School, he could be older.
He needs to try THAT next time. Get up out of that bed and give him a hug and take him outside for a bathroom break. Then fill up his bowl and give him lots of petting. He loves you unconditionally and that doesn’t happen very often in life. You are lucky to have such a sweet dog.
One advantage of the goldfish; they never jump on you and never need walking. Of course, they don’t live long either. Just change the water now and again.

Don’t shoo him away, Luann! This is all the male affection you have been getting lately.

I think Puddles is being just a bit sarcastic here!

Puddles is the most likeable character in this strip (though Bwad has come close).

Both Puddles and Launn have a point. Very clever dog.

Did someone say yesterday that it was time for Puddles to die, because he’s so old?

Never turn away on doggie kisses, because the day will come when you will want them and they won’t be available.

If you want a rejected romp, let’s see Bets doing this to Gunther.

I think it’s time we face the obvious truth: for all intents and purposes, Knute and Crystal are no longer in the strip. Even as Sunday comic relief.

My cat likes to wake me up, sometimes with nibbles and sometimes with a scratchy lick. It’s okay with me.

Be grateful Luann. He’s your dog.

Roll over and go back to sleep, Luann. You got everything under control.
You “asserted” yourself, and now have Tara And Nil (SNORT) “terrified.”
You managed to fix Gunny up with a hot girlfriend who HATES your guts.
You Managed to put Jack on a career path to the point where he focuses on it, and not You.
You got Fay’s mom’s “mind right.”
You’ve got Bernice confused.
You’ve got (GAG/VOMIT) Les, “Excited.”
You’ve compelled Tiffany to seek a new powerful Ally in the form of the Bountiful Bets.
And You sent “Doug” packing, running off with his tail between his legs, unable to show his face in public.
So roll over and go back to sleep Girl, you’ve EARNED it!
Get some rest, and prepare for that shadowy figure waiting for you, just around the corner……….,

They’re not going to have Puddles die. This isn’t “For Better or For Worse”.

He’s getting older and wants to show you how much he still loves you.

If Puddles at his age still has the strength and agility, more power to him, lazy Luann. Have you fed your dog today?

Luann, when my doggy does this, I NEED to get up and let him OUT..right now!!

Nice comic up to panel #2, then Greg exercised a questionable taste in humor? that I didn’t like.
