Red and Rover by Brian Basset for June 29, 2023

Yes, but he’s a happy, satisfied lawn skunk.

Dogs will do anything to appease their masters and live in the human pack. Except take a bath and stay clean.

My Rugby use to do that! Horse barn, deer droppings, you name it. I was told that dogs do that to cover their scent. Who new

It sounds like Rover lives with us on the mountain lol! Our dogs get into exactly the same stuff, plus turkey and deer droppings as well. Sometimes even bear!

That’s Rover, aka B.O. Plenty!

That’s the 1st thing they want to do after a bath

Bunny pellets don’t smell bad.

Good stuff like that, lol! Dogs definitely march to a different drummer. I want to recommend a new comic, FurBabies if you love cute pets! The strip artist is top rate!

One of our rescues “discovered” the compost pile the second day we had her. She was smart enough to realize “compost =>bath” and didn’t do it again.

The canine equivalent of deer hunters’ cover scent.

Rover gathers smells from other animals. Butt he makes his own smells as well.

LOL… Gotta love Rover.

OK, Red you know what you’re going to have to do next …… of course let Rover have a little while to enjoy himself ….. :)

A friend of my parents once had a dog that love to roll in flowers and herbs—presumably because humans liked that, but it was also possible he liked smelling like the roast chicken he loved to steal.

My godmother was not as fortunate. The dog she babysat was desperate to make friends with skunks. The skunks were not inclined to be friends.

My dog would go down to the lake and roll in dead carp!

Love your strip, Mr. Basset.

An appropriate reminder that for all we love our pooches, they are still dogs and will still have unpleasant habits and tendencies.

When I was a kid we had a dog that loved to roll in the freshest, greenest patties in the cow pasture.

Only the best for Rover.
