   I imagine what he was doing with his right hand violates standards and practices.

   I LOVE this strip. Just out of curiosity I started watching the “reruns”, and I love them at least as much as he first time I read them. Oh, by the way, in the Calvin universe, the rock threw itself!

   Ah, I see that you are now practicing fake news on your own. I’ll give a few things to chew on. The economy was in free fall when Obama took office. Fortunately he had the guts to put money in the economy and a Fed Chairman who had studied the Great Depression, (you know, the one caused by that Demo…er Republican Herbert Hoover, and his idiot congress with jerks like Smoot and Hawley — Republicans) and they short-circuited what would have probably been worse than the Great Depression, since only 2% of our Republic are still farmers. Back then city folk had a place to retreat to, their families who were still farming.Who cleaned that mess up, Democrats. Who destroyed the virtually no-debt budget and roaring economy left by Clinton? George W. Bush. Who cleaned up that mess and got our economy roaring again, (5.4% growth in the second quarter not the mediocre 4.1% bragged on this year by the Orange One?) Obama. Who is bequeathing us with Trillion Dollar Deficits? Your fearless leader the Orangutan in chief. There are none so ignorant as those who cannot read a graph.

   I use invisible fence. This is not an anti-bark collar. The real harm that dogs can do to neighboring animals, (they are predators after all), could easily justify more anti-dog laws, which are already plentiful. Dogs are dang smart, they learn quickly, and a little discomfort will prevent receiving an order to destroy a dog for nipping at a child. I love my dogs, but I love my neighbors and my neighbor’s children more. 15 acres is too expensive to fence in, (in our case, 2,306 lineal feet. at an average cost per lineal foot of $20, that would cost us $46,000 to install and more to maintain. Absurd! An alternative would be to fence in a dog run, right? I think if my dogs could talk they would say that they prefer a little temporary discomfort so they can run in the woods and enjoy the country rather than being stuck in a “dog run” where they frustratedly run back and forth like caged tigers. I think THAT is inhumane.

    We live on 15 acres in the country. We’ve never had to chain or fence in our dogs until our current crew thought it might be fun to chase the neighbor’s chickens around the yard. Never killed any, but egg production virtually stopped. Wanting to be a good neighbor, we considered the alternatives and invisible fence worked just great. At the beginning you turn it up so the dogs get a bit of a jolt when approaching the fence. Once they are trained, you turn it down so approaching the fence only causes the initial vibration before the shock. They will only get the shock if they cross the line. This sees to me be more humane and cheaper than the alternatives. The dogs still get the run of the property and are happy. So is our neighbor.
