Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for March 11, 2014

And people wonder why they have disobedient pets.My dog actually tends to get away with more when I have company, only because I can’t keep 100% of my focus on him and my guests are often encouraging what little bad behavior they can find in him.

I would love to have have dog but the children keep me busy enough. They do try to act out when company comes but they don’t get to do whatever they want to do normally.

Good morning fellow “Cathy” clan, whenever you find time to drop in!

Morning “Cathy” clan. I was thinking about Susan Newman and with her health the way it is that maybe something happened to her. Lets hope not and that we will see her again and not disappear Like Billy and Aaron did. Share your thoughts with me, k. If you are reading this Susan, come back soon.

The opposite situation of this does remind me of children… okay, maybe just my children. :-) When I’m on the phone or talking to someone else, they seem to think that’s the time to do what they know they shouldn’t. Or they try to get me to agree to something they know I normally wouldn’t. For a while, Jr would ask to play video games whenever a friend of hers was over, hoping I wouldn’t say no in front of a guest. It worked twice, and then no more.Good morning, Cathy clan! it’s getting busier and busier for me, but I try to get on daily. I posted late yesterday, I think.Washingtoneagle, I think BJ is right and she was banned. If you look at the comments on Feb 9 (I think), it shows where someone responded to Susan, but you can't see Susan's original post. Usually if someone is banned, they delete all of their posts. I get it, but it's sad. If you all want to try, we can contact moderatorgocomics.com and put in a good word for her. Never too late… I would hope that someone would put a good word in for me if I made a mistake.

Interesting formatting on my last post… I just put in a @ before Washingtoneagle and it changed the font. Cool!!

While I freely admit that my dog is 100% spoiled rotten with all the love and toys in the world she could possibly want [not to mention that, yes, she is allowed on the furniture], she also knows to mind us 100%, too. She’s 12 years old now but from day one when she was a puppy, we taught her that there would absolutely be no: howling, begging, jumping, inappropriate chewing or food stealing. Good behavior was rewarded with a special treat or extra play-time and bad behavior earned her “time-outs” all alone in another room away from us . . . and since she didn’t [and still doesn’t] like that very much, she rarely ever does anything bad these days to deserve it. She is SUCH a good little dog and we just love her to death!!!!! ♥♥♥♥♥

Hi, rgcviper!

lightenup: Thank you so much for the very nice compliments yesterday. I do try to be as considerate as I can and if I know of a special date in the life of someone I care about, then I like to let them know that I’ve remembered it. I just hope that wherever our dear friends, Aaron and Dr. Billy are, they’re happy, healthy and safe . . . and that they’ll come back to us again someday soon. I just miss them so, so much!!!!! :-(

Hello and Happy Tuesday, fellow “Cathy” fans. Hope everyone had a really nice day today.

Nah—that’d be way too easy, dogs.

I’ll go ahead and e-mail GoComics to put in a good word for Susan. I’m all in favor of her return.

That reminds me … whatever happened to koolfunkygrrl? We haven’t seen her here in a long time, either.

HI, MOM. Greetings, “Cathy” Clan.
