Tough losing a friend.

I hope they aren’t talking about his dog.

♫”Old friends

Sat on their park bench

Like bookends…

Old friends

Memory brushes the same years

Silently sharing the same fears”♫

Ok, what’s going on here??!!

Who died??

:-0

I will always remember the dogs and cats who were gracious and generous to stay with us throughout the years.

I think they’re talking about Nixon.

It reminds me of the outpouring of grief from fans of the comic strip For Better or Worse when the family dog Farley died in April of 1995. There were letters and newspaper articles for days after. He was occasionally shown to chase squirrels… who sometimes seemed to enjoy it.

Tis hard to fill the job slot of Acorn Delivery Driver . No nuts to give out to the squirrels ;-)

Lost one of our dogs at the beginning of the pandemic and we have to make the tough choice “soon” about one with congestive heart failure, trying to make sure she isn’t suffering but only a matter of time. Not looking forward to that time.

The squirrel that Trump’s been wearing on his head is now unemployed.

The drooping leaf all alone at top left is sad too.

Thank you all for the gentle stroll down memory lane folks.

I’m hoping it was their favorite pigeon…migrating.

You obviously have really touched us today, Harry Bliss. Well done! (she wrote, tears rolling down her cheeks.)

Oh, dogday…it’s catching…but tears help.

Am I the only one who thought of our Portly Syndicate Person?

Sweet, but shouldn’t the cat be in Dad’s arms, bawling? We all know the dog and cat were best buds. (If this toon is referencing the loss of your real-life dog, I’m sorry for your loss, Harry.)

It’s a squirrel!

Sorry you lost your dog, Harry.
