For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for November 07, 2018

strip off your coat, Mike, and shake the thing outside!

Funny how Farley is the best-drawn character!

My mother would have killed me… don’t push it, Mike!

Time for a trip to the groomer.

Mike is about to get a lesson in Vacuum Dynamics! “and, while your @ it, knock out the rest of the 1st. Floor!”

At that point, Mike would be the one brushing the dog—-and running the vacuum afterwards!

Michael is not exactly in tune with his surroundings.

Lynn’s Notes:

An Old English Sheepdog owner knows how much work these dogs are. Farley was a walking, woofing cartoon. Just looking at him made all the work worthwhile.

I got Lynn’s newsletter this morning by email. She talks about how she and her ex-husband Rod (whose real first name was John) used to work in his dental clinic together.

Notice how dopey Mike is brushing off his clothes directly over the dog! Smart. Mom should make him do the cleanup.

I wonder whether one was with the other.

WOW! Lynn is the first vacuum mom , doing things Mike SHOULD be doing himself.

It was burrs in a dogs coat that inspired Velcro. (Then there are our dogs who became Velcro whenever we’d been away.)

Get Michael to brush him.
