Red and Rover by Brian Basset for October 01, 2019

Assume Yoda ear pose and deflect with The Force.

A Rover trebuchet

What a dog!

You are a great protector, Rover!!

He is such a sweet dog.

With Rover as Red’s umbrella, those acorns don’t stand a chance!

I believe that acorn was meant for Louie.

That’s a great pal.

Was the perpetrator Bip or Bop from Mutts?

That’s what dogs do…

Rover is my kind of dog! Reminds me of Scottie we had. She protected our boys and didn’t let them roam without her in tow.

I Used this one yesterday in another strip…..Yoda’s last name is “Lay-he-hoo”

Our dogs protect us in so many ways. Long live the Canine Nation!

Gee, I always thought an acorn went “Boink” when it hit!

Good idea, Rover. Protecting your human and yourself! Love you, my little darlings!

ROVER…you take such good care of RED – LOVE & HUGS, dearest boys

Squirrel or nature?

My golden would have taken the next one out of the air before it hit me. Unfortunately, she’d be too busy playing with it to notice the others falling.

Squirrel! It’s always those dang, evil squirrels.

Love you guys.

Good thing that isn’t a blood oak tree. Its sap looks and acts like blood including clotting. The nuts hold a toxin as do the leaves when they fall they are little hypodermics that inject a bit of toxin to weaken you and induce paralysis. Fascinating biology. Wonderfully surreal gruesomeness.

Heartening! =:-)
