Buckles by David Gilbert for July 31, 2023

Buckles went back to the Sarengheti…..

Buckles has melted away into the forest,(In this case tall grass)!

Buckles is imitating Snoopy today pretending he is a wild animal!

The third panel with his tongue hanging out is the winner today for me : ) But even with his " sinister " expression in the first two panels he manages to be lovable : )

Kinda reminds me of the Calvin and Hobbes comic strips where Calvin would pretend that he’s a dinosaur of some kind.

When my doggie darling steals food, she hides behind my recliner!

The sneak attack.

My dog doesn’t steal food. She just looks at me, hopefully. Quietly and politely. Yet, I can still say no. Sometimes she’s lucky and sometimes not but making a steal attempt would be a firm NO for a long time. Buckles seems to need to have kept the kitten or adopted the stray. He’s bored, needs a playmate more often. He is still a puppy, though. He will learn not to steal food if they train him right.

My Dogs over the years all knew that I’d share with them …… but “AFTER” I was done ……… they would just sit or lay down and wait ……….. then I would make sure that I divided it equally and named each one as they got their treat ……. then I’d say all done, all gone ….. they would go their own ways ……… :)

I love panel three, his tongue sticking out with his goofy face (after being in the former panels with a “skimming” face) is adorable. Though Buckles remains cute the entire strip.
