Citizen Dog by Mark O'Hare for December 17, 2012

Laika, didn’t survive the trip.

Thanks for the buzz kill Amber.

Good Morning, cleo, sugar, Fellow Baby & the rest of the CD gang!

Thank goodness we’ve gotten better about bringing the spacecraft and cargo back, huh?

Astrodog?Cosmomutt?Good morning people and pets.Happy, happy, happy!The wind has settled down a bit, but i can hear the surf even siting in my living room.I wish i could get away long enough to see it and take some photos.

Laika not only died in space, that’s how her trip was designed. Can you imagine the hours of agony and sheer terror that poor dog must have suffered?

Good morning, CDers!

The new IKEA dog…

Failed to mention that Laika was left to die in space.

Well, such a jolly group of comments….not!

Good morning to those Citizens of Dog who realize there is enough sadness in the world that dredging up more is going overboard.

She (or as some would say, ‘it’) died of oxygen starvation.A painful death, to be sure.

@cleokaya

I agree.

Enough!Please!I might check in here later tonight.Might.

@ happy

ditto!

PS: @ my good friend, nighthawks

(Come onnnnnnnnnnn…………….! Couldn’t you at least try to lighten the mood here a bit????)

Good Morning Grog, Dry, Cleo, StelBel, happyathome & all CDers out there.

Good morning Fellow Baby, cleo and sugie!

Howdy Stel, happy, chefwen, and Plods

Nighthawks, like Stel said, DID YOU REALLY REALLY HAVE TO DO THAT? Geez man!

The rest of the gloom and doomers lighten up or go away!

Stel love the Great Dane! That one doesn’t have his ears cropped. He looks cute!

well, Stel and Happy, today’s cartoon brought up the story of Leika as if it was a happy , positive thing. the comments (mine included) were just pointing out the fallacy of that. You can’t ignore the truth if it isn’t comfortable to be faced with it.

Let me know when it is safe too come back.

I like the folding Ikea Great Dane.

I replied to you Grog, at BB. I think. Or OB….

I just finished making a marinade and applying it to a flank steak to grill for tomorrow evening. And I made a salsa to serve with it. I just hope that I am not grilling it in the snow which they are calling for tonight.

I saw it, Shika. It was OB.

I’m done for this year. If I do any shopping now, it’s for next Christmas.

I know there are people who will grill in all seasons all over the place, cleo. A friend of mine from Montreal decided he wanted to grill a salmon in January. I was there. It was cold and snowy and I thought he was nuts.

Good night, CDers.

Good evening to all the happy CD kids out there. On a lighter note, I got to spend the day with first graders who were excitedly making gingerbread houses out of paper shopping bags. They had a blast and I came home covered in glue. I even got it in my hair…..somehow? Craziness and fun was had by all..I’m guilty of being an all weather griller. I’ve grilled in the rain with an umbrella. I’ve shoveled a path and scraped a mountain of snow off the cover just to get to the grill. Just got the hubby a new gas/charcoal grill for Xmas….now I just gotta build it..StelBel are you sure you got those instructions right? Your dog looks a little…um…..folded? Creased? Bent? Seriously, that is too cute.:-D

Good Night Grog. I was doing an evaluation for the end of the year tonight. The end of the school year. Sorry I missed you yet again. I’m batting 100 here.

Good Night Citizens of Dogs and all my friends here.

Thank you Jkiss for an endearing image of glue plastered hair, happy children and an obsessive barbecuer! All brought a smile to my face.

Stel ol’ Bel, I apologize for that one.I’ll be good.only puppies and flowers, from now on.promise!ha ha


Shika the comic strip wasn’t in poor taste, just some of the comments, IMHO!

Good night folks.
