Pooch Cafe by Paul Gilligan for July 15, 2013

Looks like the hydrant is underground also. Sloppy drawing?

I thought that was the idea, a very private underground hydrant.

Paul, Is this the summer of buried things?

How are the firemen supposed to use your hydrant, Poncho?

Poncho is part of the underground movement.

He just can’t over the bury-it thing, can he? We had a tree at the end of our front walk that was a canine bulletin board. Every dog that passed inspected it then left a message, and our dogs made a bee-line for it the minute they were out of the house. The village had to cut that tree down, and it will be years before its successor is a satisfactory message carrier. Poor dogs!

my corner bush was replaced 3 times before I just put up a decorative post and repainted every year !!!

An underground hydrant would be boring, no messages to “read”.

A hydrant is a giant dog newspaper.

Dogs will scent wherever there is another dog’s scent. It doesnt matter whether there is a hydrant or a tree.
