Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 10, 2014

Rat doesn’t have the b@lls to tell him the truth.

All he really heard was blah blah blah beer blah blah

Um, why am I thinking of beer nuts……?

This pet just gave birth to a litter. “Coming home lighter” may not be the issue. Make sure to give him the beer anyway, or he won’t trust you in the future.

Oh, Stephan! You’ve gone too far…..too far…..sigh…..

But just out of curiousity……where’s he taking him for this procedure?

Rat is doing the proper thing with his pet, if a bit late. It’s just a pet! (?)

That crate looks kind of heavy to be hauled around by rat….

Same theme in “Get Fuzzy” today . What’s up ?

reminds me of a Far Side cartoon years about a dog who was going to be tutored , {wrong word buddy}

Is “life” really THIS strange in Albany, CA?!?

I’d comment but there is already 15 comments before me…

And don’t call me Shirley!

You’re not a cat owner or you would have come to that conclusion sooner.

Cartoon scene; two dogs on a street-corner, one says; “They took me in, they loved me, petted me, gave me a warm home and bed and good food. Then they cut my nuts off!”

I sometimes wonder why dogs don’t hate us. But in fact, they not only don’t seem to mind, they don’t even seem to notice. Considering where they can lick, you’d think they’d at least notice. Or wonder why it didn’t take as long as it used to in order to clean themselves.BTW, decades ago, I read a novel in which a character wanted to get her male sheepdogs a vasectomy instead of neutering them, but couldn’t find a vet to do the procedure. Why isn’t that an option?

Well, he could either be neutered the traditional way or he could have a simpler procedure where they only have to make a couple of snips. Not sure which procedure is worse, but I do know that there is a vas deferens between the two.

I can sense a growl coming on!

Now they take everything, and I mean EVERYTHING!!! So this pet is going to be in for a shock when he comes to after the operation of being bobbettized.

Okay, now you have my dog looking at me strangely, trying to figure out why I nearly fell out of my chair laughing.
