Buckles by David Gilbert for March 22, 2022

She went to get you a treat…..

Reminds me of these poor cute waiting (or whinning) puppies you see longingly stare at a shop’s door for the excuriating 5 minutes their owners are inside.

You’re a bit too codependent Buckles!

Makes me sorry I have to leave my little guy alone while Im at work

True love!

Seperation anxiety!

My Sheltie has separation anxiety…she goes crazy when I leave the house for a couple hours. I’ve tried everything and nothing works for with her. It breaks my heart. :-(

The first panel is just " precious " : )

I love Buckles!

I walk my dog every morning for miles. She is way too tired to have separation anxiety when I have to leave. Not all dogs are the high energy hunting dogs, I get that. I am not even sure what I pulled out of her mouth today, but my best guess is some sort of very old bone. I also offer a small treat when I leave, so she is excited when I am getting ready to go out, and another one when I get home. She always has something to look forward to that way. But I rarely ever leave her more than 6 hours.

It does make sense, since dogs, as well any related canines, do have a shorter lifespan than humans.

This explains why, when I’m gone for 30 minutes, my dog acts like I’ve been gone for days.

But surely that’s only seven dog minutes.
