that’s one fine hat!

Years ago, I knew a black lab who. if you just said the word “walk” would get all excited, just like Gumbo.

We say stroll,when our sons dog is around.

Well, hop to it, Clayton, walk Gumbo.

Davey Crockett the Second! (But they needed him [DC 1] at The Alamo). I’m Fess’n up, DC was popular when I was in High School (? your Middle School, before College).

The magic word for our dogs was “go.” Any time I said it, the dogs would race to the garage door ready to climb into the car and take a ride. Sometimes I’d cave and drive them around the neighborhood,.

..first Nick, now Gumbo, trotting out all the side kicks as of late..

Ain’t no time to stash the Gumbo!

He said the W word

I can understand why she’d get excited, they keep her locked in the basement.

My 2 dogs have different triggers. For one, it is feed the birds and the other it is get the mail.

I think Rob Harrell keeps forgetting whether Gumbo is a girl or a boy. He referred to the dog as he in the April 30th comic and as she most of the times before. Probably from a lack of using her/him in a comic!

cats are better – they never get excited… well, unless you have a laser pointer

Even my cat knows that word. She’s really into going for walks even though she has a cat flap and can go out whenever she wants.

We had a peke-a-poo who if she heard keys, would race to the door, squeeze her way out and then squeeze her way into the car; it was impossible to get into the car without her. And just a short trip around the block wasn’t long enough; it had to be minimum 2-3 trips. Funny dog.

Mine now react to the “w word” even when we spell it, or if we say “go for a you know what”. I have to suggest to my wife that we go for a “mosey” or a “perambulation”, and they’re starting to catch on to those too.

My mini Aussie gets excited when the word Mail is mentioned. It means a walk to the mailbox and a run through the woods for him.
