Red and Rover by Brian Basset for September 17, 2018

Excuse us Mr. Nosy neighbor, that’s Rover to you!

Almost always. Sometimes the conversation is “SQUIRREL!”

Some walks are better taken elsewhere, Red.

I’d rather converse with my dogs and cats than with those nosy neighbors any day!

“Talking with his pal, Rover”. ftfy, gramps.

Excuse me, there are TWO individuals walking there, lol!

Excuse me, but there are TWO individuals walking there, and anyway, I talk to my dogs all the time!

The neighbor needs new glasses!

I talk to my dogs, except they only understand walk, food, treat. Training didn’t help.

I feel so, too, sometimes!!

There’s one in every neighborhood! I live on ten acres in Montana and I have this woman who lives next to us and wants to tell me what to do.

I gets worse when your best friend crosses over the rainbow bridge – then you REALLY start talking to your-self!

Is this the first sighting of this guy, or any other neighbor? I have only been reading for a little over 2 years.

I miss Hobbes

It’s OK, Red. Some have forgotten, but most of us here remember our kidhood and conversations with our dogs.

I tal to cats, birds, bugs, plants…myself. Less stress.

You should only know! Love and Hugs for dearest Red and Rover….keep that conversation going!

He must not know a lot of people talk to their pets.

Where’s Zeke and Reuben, Mr. Brian? When are we gonna see Zeke and Reuben?

I guess this man never had a dog, eh?

People who don’t talk to their dogs have dogs who don’t understand human speech. My dogs invariably learn lots of human words and phrases, because my husband and I talk to them conversationally all the time. Some folks tie a dog to a tree all day, and shout “Sit!” “Stay!” “Come!” as the only so-called training, and then talk about how stupid dogs are. It’s like isolating a baby, and speaking to them in monosyllables, but expecting them to automatically pick up normal human speech and intelligence. If you have a stupid dog, maybe you only have yourself to blame!

Gladys; ‘’Abner!’’

There are two types of people in this world. Those like this man and those like most of us. I’ll take ‘us’! Have a good day y’all!

Only a person who never loved a dog would say that…

reminds me of Mr. Wilson from Dennis the Menace.

Those nosy neighbors were the ones that kept crime down to a minimum.
