Red and Rover by Brian Basset for October 20, 2023

So funny!

I’ll be he hates that when it happens.

Ouch!

Not funny…sticks and bones are dangerous for dogs to use as toys splinters in the mouth lead to abscess hard bones break teeth and large chunks of stick or bone can and will obstruct the dog’s airway and or esophagus, sharp slivers making their way into the gastrointestinal track can lead to peritonitis internal bleeding and ultimately a painful death for the animal. Been there, never again.

Watch out for splinters, Rover!

Looks like the coyote in a Road Runner episode

Oh, my poor little darling! Red will help you!

Looks like Wallace, but not Gromit.

Take over, Red

Loved this because it reminded me of all of the great videos on YouTube with dogs carrying tremendous sticks, branches or pieces of wood and then found themselves unable to get through an opening because the way they were carrying the wood made it wider than the opening.

how’s that go ?— your dog gets more mail than you do… no bones, no sticks, no rocks.

Not exactly the best way to catch a stick but a good catch it was ….

Mine would do this with tennis balls. Max of three, briefly.

That should stick with Rover.

Whoops!

Boy’s and their dogs have been playing fetch with sticks for thousands of years…. All is well.

Red …… after you carefully get that stick out of Rover’s mouth ……. better get a longer one to throw …… :)

You have to hand it to Rover, he is a great branch manager.

That one hurt.

:D
