Transcript:
Alice: AGHK! What is it? Kevin: That's Antsy! He's a Norwegian Anthound! Alice: Get it off of me! Kevin: Aw, he just thinks he's people! Noise: YANK! Kevin: Hey! She didn't call me a stupid bucket head!
I think she just seems to not be a dog person. She’s maybe a pangolin person. But Alice, an anthound does much the same thing as a pangolin…maybe…I think…
Alice will be back to see the puppy again. Pre-schoolers can be very stubborn about new things. It may take 2 or 3 visits before she falls for the puppy - particularly with the peer pressure of her classmates.
My mother had a schnauzer and a pug. The schnauzer always got excited to see other dogs (and squirrels), but the pug was more excited to meet other people. Toy dogs think they’re people.

A moral victory is better than no victory at all, Kevin…

The pup looks much cuter today. The Norwegian Anthound is a noble breed.
I find Alice to be a bit off putting today, but she is being true to her nature.

Alice Otterloop Buckethead!

ugh, I agree with Alice, can’t stand dogs that jump up at you and try to lick your face and such!

Kind of looks like my dog. He’s not an Anthound, but he is a Bugg.

Take your victories when you can get them, Kevin.

He may be trying to sniff your butt, Alice.
I don’t think Alice will have anything good to say when she reports back to the gang at school tomorrow.

Apparently Alice is immune to the inherent cuteness of puppyhood. Then again, she never did look into its eyes…

Alice will be back to see the puppy again. Pre-schoolers can be very stubborn about new things. It may take 2 or 3 visits before she falls for the puppy - particularly with the peer pressure of her classmates.

I don’t think there will be the addition of a puppy inside the Otterloop family home anytime during the next decade.

This may be what it looks like when Alice is “nice.”

The “wirf wirf wirf” and the bugged out eyes kill me. So …. accurate!

I wanna know how she did that with mittens on….
ChukLitl Premium Member almost 14 years ago
She just had to be nice to see the puppy. She saw the puppy. Enough nice.

I still think that little pup is adorable! Of course, I think all dogs are adorable! No matter how ugly, but this one is cute, I really think so!
