Pooch Cafe by Paul Gilligan for July 02, 2022

If we pay for fresh, we should get fresh. Also, bread without other people’s dirty hand germs.

Moisture loss is a factor, but the whole answer is a lot more interesting.

“Staling can be thought of as almost the opposite process; it’s called starch retrogradation. Essentially one of the parts of starch, the amylopectin, recrystallizes. It comes out of the tangled network, and forms little blobs of itself instead (note the increase in available water too).”

For Poncho everything is fresh because food never sits around long enough to get stale!

I that the same drawing of Poncho copy and pasted on all three panels?Also never noticed his tail have an arrow head at the end. How have I missed that?

I’m kind of with Poncho on this.

Poncho shopping with Chazz … This picture seems strange ;-)

As Stewie Griffin recently said, “The rest of this is just jokes, but that’s actually a good point…”

In fact, some say it was the ice age that transformed early man into the dominant species.

What happened to the background in panel 4? Panel 2 looks odd too.

If anyone wonders what a dog might eat, I once pulled an entire mouse out via my dog’s mouth when I saw a little bit of something sticking out of her mouth. Yes, she was on a leash and I must have glanced away for a second. It was not fresh, having already been eviscerated by a hawk or turkey vulture. Other than the guts missing, it was an entire mouse, anyway.

Kibble doesn’t go stale. Or if it does, you can’t tell. :)

Delicate flowers just about sums it up.

By stuffing down our throats more or less anything that was no longer able to fight back.

Go Poncho!

As I’ve often said, “What doesn’t kill me makes me fatter”

We ate the moist warm little doggies. Look out Poncho, you may be on the menu. FYI, Lowell Mather once said, “Without the salad, croutons are just dry, stale bread.” Wings.

I ask that question quite often.
