Red and Rover by Brian Basset for August 30, 2023

Oh, Mom and Dad are gonna love that! NOT.

That is gnaw-t a good thing to happen to the shoes.

Problem solved! Red answered that question, ha!

Good ol’ Rover!

Always ready to lend a paw :-))

There’s nothing like the lived-in look!

I’m wondering if Rover’s advice was ulterior! But at least, Red’s shoes won’t have the new look!

One day, on the first day of school, I was walking my daughters to school & saw another mom walking her son. He had on shiny new sneakers. We were all walking along a dirt path & the mother kept yelling at her son not to get his new sneakers dirty. For heaven’s sake; they were sneakers!

I used to get a new pair of Hush Puppies every school year in elementary school.

There’s a method to his madness chomp chomp

How how how is it already time for school shoes again?? What the heck, time, who’s side are you even on?! More Summer!

Oh, no ! Those look like Dad’s shoes !!

And why did you give Red that advice, Rover?

That’s some A+ manipulation! (Or is it dogipulation?)

Quick thinking Rover …. right there to give Red a helping …. “CHEW” ….. :)

Is there any evidence that teachers call on shiny-shoed students more?

Do you make the shoes smaller, Rover!

I wish Rover was there to chew up my brothers leather shoes. Those heels are sharp and painful when the dig into your side.. then NM says “Shh! You’ll wake him!!” `(>⌒<)′

Smart dog, not a good one today, but very smart indeed…..

The worst thing about summer ending was having to put shoes and a shirt back on…

The dog ate my shoes. Well, that’s original.

That was a very sneaky way to get a new chew toy, Rover. When the kids are sitting at their desks, the teacher doesn’t even see their shoes!
