Or watch the poodles run at the dog park.

There might be bulldogs there.

Roscoe has the best idea!

Running with the poodles sounds a lot safer than running with the bulls!

Roscoe says, ❝Let❜s GO❢❞

The poodles can also outrun you, Earl!

Roscoe likes that idea!

I would rather run with the cats, but I can’t keep up

If you’re going to ‘run with the poodles in the dog park’, be prepared to discard your shoes afterward. Wait a minute. You’re married to Opal. Go ahead and walk across the living room carpet with those shoes, Earl.

Roscoe is all for that one!

As with a lot of things, we like the IDEA of doing something, but not actually doing it.

I think the dog park is your safest and best bet, Earl!

He would do better running with the turtles and slugs

Roscoe is for running with the poodles in the park. Go Roscoe!

At your age, running with poodles sounds like the better choice.

Move that up a notch.

You don’t want to run with the bulls in Pamplona. If you do that and survive, you will want to do another experience. You will do something like go to a dude ranch. There you will meet up with a foreman who has no respect for city dwellers and for some reason won’t like you at all. Then you will be on a cattle drive. And some cow will have a calf and you will have to deliver it. You will fall in love with the calf and take it back to the city with you. Do you really want to have a calf/cow/bull hanging around the house for the rest of your life giving you the evil eye for eating a rib eye? Don’t do it!

And the star of the strip shows up with his gear, ready to go and embrace the great out of doors :-)

Running with the sloths is Earl’s speed.

I’ll go with Earl’s second choice.

Swim with the Labs?

WHEN did that Running With the Bulls look good to y’all? Looks like a bad day to be in town to me!

Good choice,earl‼️

In this heat, just resting on the couch is an excellent plan.

Ooh, the the bulls and me on my Tesla senior scooter.

Roscoe loves that suggestion!

Women Who Run With the Poodles: Myths and Tips for Honoring Your Mood Swings by Barbara Graham (Author), Victoria Roberts (Illustrator)

“A guidebook for women who realize that poodles are superior to wolves—they know the importance of a good haircut—offers a program for finding your Inner Poodle that involves no goddess ceremonies, drumming, or screeching at the moon.”

No, Earl! it’s 108 outside. Stay PUT!!

There you go! Get up and DO IT!

Poodles likes the idea…….

Running with the Poodles. That could definitely be a thing.

Good plan B!

Third choice, run to the nearest restroom.

Better yet, run with the SQUIRRELS!https : // www. / watch? v=nGF5k8uzbRQ

Run run run as fast as you can

You can’t catch me, you’re a silly old man

I’ll second the second choice.

Second one sounds safer

Just keep up with my dog when she’s running around in the back yard.

Roscoe knows him well.

MUCH better.!!!!

That sounds good to Roscoe.

Roscoe soon finds an opportunity to pee in Earl’s shoes.

Better choice.

I would rather run with the bulls than chihuahuas with attitude.

Earl isn’t going to run anywhere. It would be nice if he took Roscoe for a walk.
