Pickles by Brian Crane for October 14, 2024

That is a better thing to scent roll in.

now rub my belly!

It’s a dog’s life. By definition.

The always-relatable Roscoe : )

Dig, bark, chase squirrels, bark, eat, bark, sleep, hump, bark, dig…I love being retired.

“Leaf” me alone Earl!

Look Opal ! Earl is doing work ;-)

Roscoe is perfectly happy just reclining in the leaves. What a life!

The term Cynic (a school of Hellenistic philosophy) comes from the word dog. A dog doesn’t obey human rules but does what feels natural to it — which is how the Cynics tried to live.

There were mixed reactions to the Cynics, but some really fun stories about them.

Roscoe is just precious as always : )

That seems more like a cat attitude.

Dogs have a lot of things to do. Chase squirrels, sniff butts, eat, sleep, poop, chase squirrels, lick themselves, sniff butts, eat, sleep, poop…

Roscoe is giving Earl the perfect opportunity to quit raking, go inside and read the newspaper.

Leave Roscoe alone, he’s retired too and “Livin’ the dream”.

OPAL! Call the dog…he wants a treat!

Roscoe won’t help you spruce up the yard.

Well, you haven’t cleaned yourself in a while.

He’s got a POINT

If you believe that dogs can’t know “words”, search for “chaser the dog who knows 1000 words” and be surprised ;)

You go,Roscoe! Throw those legs in the air like you don’t care…..;-)

It’s dog’s life!

Roscoe REWLS. Best character in the strip, by a Country Mile. Maybe the best comics dog EVER!!! 8^D

Hooray! A person using a rake and getting some exercise as well, instead of using a blasted, noisy blower.

Dog sitting my sister’s dog, that’s me with the vacuum cleaner.

It’s a requirement to be in the way. That’s how we dogs keep an eye on you and confirm that you are aware of us.

we had a dog that loved to play in the snow… I’d make miniature snowmen, and he’d storm in and stomp it down before I could build it up! If I could get him to sit and stay, I’d build a row of ‘em, and when I’d say go get ‘em, he’d go bonkers and stomp ’em all flat! Lol!!

Just one of the perks of being a dog.

Regarding all the comments relating to how many words our dogs can recognize — “On average, dogs can learn about 165 words. More intelligent breeds like the Border Collie, Standard Poodle, and German Sheperd can remember an average of 250 words. In contrast, regular untrained dogs can remember an average of 89. Dogs generally have a comprehension level akin to a two-year-old child.” — from Woofandbeyond.com

Yep… Sure is a “rufff” life being a dog.

That’s a dog’s life.

Tummy rub time.

Who remembers that old English show with an elderly lady who said “walkies” to her dogs?
