Transcript:
Michael: Daddy, Daddy! Mrs. Baird's sheepdog had puppies an' she says we can see them - will you come? Please? John: Honest, honey... we're just going over to look! Elly: OK... but if you come back with one... I QUIT!
What I hate is you know what’s coming and it takes a bit of the fun out of it. I like being surprised each day with something new, but having been through this before, I know where it’s going.
Oh brother! I knew it! Elly still doesn’t want them to have the dog, ‘Farley’, in their home after John and the son, Micheal, found out about the sheepdog puppies at Mrs. Baird’s. Boy, Micheal is so exciting and wanting to have a dog so badly. If Elly doesn’t want them to have the puppy, she can quit anyway.
Elly’s just afraid the care of the dog will fall on her like the care of the family. She needs to insist that John and Michael take care of the dog themselves.
Michael is smart by going to dad instead of mom. Elly needn’t worry for Farley will return all the caring he requires many times over later in life when he saves April.

Sure does seem that way….Looks like the beginning of a long and beautiful friendship. The birth of a hero.

The “RE”birth of a Hero. I’m glad Lynn started at the beginning again. I never did get to see this part.

Not all of us followed the strip from the beginning, so, WE don’t know what’s next. I’m having a ball discovering the family.

Wildmustang, she’ll relent, and let them get the puppy. She’s outnumbered 2 to 1.

As if she didn’t have enough to do. Guess who will, feed, bathe, groom, and clean up after any pets!!

Margueritem, Agreed! I betcha John and Micheal will definitely get the puppy without Elly’s permission! Ha! :-D
