Pickles by Brian Crane for October 30, 2020

Sorry Roscoe you live with Earl And Opal not at the Ritz-Carlton.

That’s why dogs bark at squirrels. They are trying to give you a hint about what flavor dog food they want you to buy.

Our cat refuses to eat “off brand” kibble until she gets really hungry. And “off brand” is defined as “not exactly what I got yesterday”. The two times we had to change her diet, it took about 10 days before the new thing became the only possible acceptable thing.

She does like a variety of gooshy food though, as long as it isn’t fish. Or any texture except “mush”.

By the time my dog gets to panel 4, the food is gone.

And you LOVE it too, don’t you, Roscoe?

My dog gets the same food every day, he eats it so fast I do not think it matters to him!

Roscoe looks well fed so it can’t be too bad!

I see this place is not going to get a good yelp review from him!

But the thing is that you eat it every day, don’t you, Roscoe?

Roscoe, you are at a restaurant where the house orders for you.

Roscoe do you know how to read ? Menu will be of no use if you cannot read ;-)

ERBEN2 is happy today.

Remember the Zucchini comments of 10/26? Check out the Crankshaft comic today!

Reminds me of the old Far Side cartoon where two dogs are eagerly awaiting dinner.

“Oh boy, it’s dog food again!”

Well if you never ask for a menu how can you see one?

I buy three flavors of dry dog food, and rotate them. I wouldn’t want to eat the same thing for ever, and it doesn’t cost any more to buy three different kinds than three bags of the same stuff.

At least it isn’t McDonald’s or KFC. Roscoe is getting better nutritional value in his meal.

Well, the real trick is to find the hidden pill and spit it out next to the bowl.

Our cat likes his dry food just fine and in fact will come and pester us if the bowl gets low, even if he’s not interested in eating at the moment. He supplements the dry food with an occasional bird or rat, but kindly leaves us the viscera in case we’re hungry. He deposits those under the dining room table sometimes.

Roscoe appears to be doing just fine on his current diet. Fat doggie.

An even better last panel, he scarfs it down and thinks “What the heck?” which is what REAL dogs do.

We used to have first one cat then had another, husband decided to change cat food, big mistake as neither cat would eat it, so I had to get the one they liked and mix the one he bought so they eat, I did tell husband not to again, and then we have 3 goldens, 2 of the 3 no issue on dog food except for one that got bored and would not eat, so human daddy bought a different flavor and now that one dog will eat. Dogs and cats can get tired of the same brand or flavor.

Pets are finicky….they ARE part of the family, ya know….treat them good! WOOF

Roscoe, read the 25 lb bag. Sorry.

Finicky is not really dog thing. A dog would eat its own foot if it wasn’t so painful.

You know, I think I could envision Charlie Brown’s dog, Snoopy saying that.

Poor wee thing. Give him a treat. He’s such a sweet boy
