Pickles by Brian Crane for September 24, 2022

I’m sure that the pet groomer lady wanted to check him for ticks.

Yeah, Earl somehow does look like Jock the Scottish terrier from Lady and the Tramp.

The mustache looks way better!

Terrier cut, better than the Welsh Corgi “tail heart” cut.

I’m sure a barber would be less expensive.

“Aw … they didn’t clip your nails. Maybe next time … when you actually bring the dog.”

Only you, Earl!

…and cleaned his anal glands…

Ha! Woof!

Like the nervous one she’s developing after all these years. (and yes, I know that’d be ‘tics’)

Roscoe still needs to go to the groomer after this fiasco. Earl just wasted his time and money.

Should have dewormed him

Our groomer puts little bows in our Great Pyrenes’s hair. They stay in there for almost a whole day.

Gut laugh here. This is why comics are so GREAT!. Exaggeration of a concept to get a laugh.

Under that bandanna, he’s wearing a flea collar.

I love it. Wasn’t there a period of time during the pandemic that hair salons and barber shops were closed but your dog could still get groomed? That’s probably when the groomer learned how to cut people’s hair.

Disappointed! Thought for sure they deworm him. Just for kicks, you know?

Fun day at the dog groomers.

He is deaf without a hearing aid, blind without glasses, lost sense of smell, forgets what he is doing when he is doing it, pretty sad for someone who likely is still in their 60’s. Needs to be checked for early onset dementia.

Maybe Earl got his tail docked too

Who’s a good boy?!

Just fleas.

ticks or tics?

Did he get a cookie?

Checked for ticks??? I hope the dewormed Earl.

LOL!!!

Wonder if Earl had his glands expressed?

What he really needed was the flea dip.

Now its Opal’s turn. The groomer can check her for fleas.

i don’t understand the bandanna

The girls probably got a kick out of working around his tics and using up some free time. They helped to ease his embarrassment. Maybe it would help what’s her name too.

He’s starting to look like a giant schnauzer.

They should have trimmed his eyebrows. LOL

Plus a heart worm pill and clip the nails.

All of our beloved Lhasa’s, but some of the groomers were exceptional hotties. I miss them, the dogs too.

She seems unphased……. like it’s happened before.

I hope you tipped her Earl

All’s well that ends well.

Express your glands too?

At least Earl made use of the groomer, be surprised for the lady.

Opal’s on a roll! Earl’s been setting her up!

Shoulda checked him for worms too.

More importantly, did he stop at the vet next door to get his distemper shot?

Did they give you a dewormer pill too?

Oh Earl, you ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog.

But I bet he enjoyed being checked for ticks!

Opal wants to get their money’s worth.
