A sledding dog. What great fun.

Yes, he is.

Our family Black Lab loved snow. She bounded through snow dunes and made doggy angels.

I’ve seen those videos of Labs playing in the snow and they’re hilarious!

I like when they leap-frog into the air!! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!

Ha!

The joy! Adorable.

I want a hat like that!

Clever comic today

Funny. Like most dogs, Sirius has a touch of clown in him.

Did you have fun, Sirius?

Yee-HA!!

Yes. Yes, you are.

Oh, you silly puppy. Have fun.

Kate is verklempt!

Sirius is seriously enjoying the snow; Conan did too – he chased snowballs, rolled in it, and basically played like a gigantic puppy. We haven’t had any snow since we adopted Bella; I wonder if she’s ever seen it? When you adopt an adult shelter dog, you never know their entire backstory.

This is a seriously delightful scene. Thanks Nancy

Love the way Cyrus broke through the border at the bottom!

Fun!

Did Kate have to jog downhill to keep up with Sirius, or did she have to tug Sirius downhill?

I assume that everyone here knows that Sirius is the Dog Star? (Well, its actually a binary, possible tertiary, star system.

As night falls you can use the stars of Orion’s Belt to find Sirius. Find the three belt stars —Mintaka, Alnilam and Alnitak—and go down towards the eastern horizon. Sirius is located just to the south of Orion and is the brightest star in that area of the sky.

Thanks to everyone for not somehow twisting the comments to politics. It seems like commenters in all the other comics I follow have to be part of the Sunday hate somebody club. FurBabies has the best group of followers.

This is a beautiful comic, love the big snow scene and the happy pup!
