“A Friend in Need”

No, “we” have a tummy ache from eating too many cards.

It’s like playing with a small child.

Just try building a house of cards with that dog…

Somebody’s not very good at bluffing when they have a bad hand.

We all have days when we can’t take a trick.

That’s how I felt playing gin rummy with my Dad. I’m sure he never cheated, but…..

Doggo (who I’m afraid I don’t recognise) is expressing feelings we all have, I think.

Sparky finds the rules just too hard to fathom; unfortunately, Hoyle never published in a form dogs can understand. People either, for that matter.

Shone would make him feel better.

He had a diamond royal flush and just noticed one of the cards was a heart!

And the game continues….tantrum over!

If he hears GIN one more time…….

Sparky needs some doggy prozac.

This is exactly why Ind not play cards with my cat.

You do know that tricks to a dog means entirely something else.

You play solitaire your way, I’ll play it my way.

I learned a long time ago, never play cards with my dog, Doc. – he cheats !

“Got any sevens?”

He really doesn’t like being the dummy…

Do not use your collectible Lord of the Rings commemorative chess set with him!

He’s reduced the size of the pack.

SORE LOSER!
