Overboard by Chip Dunham for November 05, 2019

Don’t think too hard about what you see in panel 4, crew!

That’s so funny.

It’s a never-ending task, though not necessarily Sisyphean. There’s always a tiny reward at the end of every summer when I find birds’ nests lined with my golden retriever’s fur, and I think of all the little fledglings kept warm by my labors. (Plus, there’s the rather-brush-it-than-vacuum-it thing.)

That is how I feel about laundry….

He should consider himself lucky that he doesn’t have a northern breed dog like a Husky or a Malamute, if he thinks Labs shed a lot.

Good morning Crew!

With my beagle, the fur you got brushing wasn’t the color of the dog’s fur. A black and white and brown dog would produce a uniformly tan wad of fur.

Labor of love. By both parties! Need more of that today.

Well, I tell you we learned a new word…sisyphus…looked him up, evil king. Thanks, Chip.

Since it’s November, shouldn’t it be a smaller boulder now?

DOWNwind….you ALWAYS need to be DOWNwind….~!

One of my cats is like that. Brush and brush and brush and (sigh) brush.

Brushing can seem unending with some breeds of dogs or cats. Good evening, Crew!

Uh … just don’t turn around, Louie.

Good Evening, Crew.

Now onto how much a lab sheds. Twice a year for about 2-3 weeks he sheds a new dog every 10 minutes. The rest of the time he sheds a new dog about once a week. Get it clear. Labs shed a lot. Maybe not the most , but an awful lot.
