Ten minutes ago you were throwing beloved Poly under the bus.

Eww! Surly Shirley drooled all other Polyfill!

Give them a ball then…

Poor Shirley. I’m sure that Grandma treats her well, but she would enjoy having children who wanted to play with her.

I feel bad for poor Shirl. Here she thought she had found a playmate. I think she is just a sweetheart of a dog who wouldn’t hurt anyone and cannot understand Alice at all.

Shirley you jest…

Poor Shirley looks so sad in the last panel!

The artwork in the center panel…facial expressions of all 4 characters…is so perfect.

Way to go Alice.Shirley will find Petey,and chew an arm off ;)

Big Shirley looks more like a pig than a dog.

She really doesn’t look mean Alice. If you’d show her a little love, you might get some in return.

Well, don’t try it with a dried ear of corn!

AWWWWW….poor Shirley. MEAN ol’ Alice; she COULD find something else to play fetch with!

How soon she conveniently forgets throwing Polyfill at Big Shirley as a sacrifice to save her own skin (as she fantasized). Alice, play with Big Shirley, that gentle giant. Make Grandma proud!
