Not long after I got my greyhound, like Farley, she dug herself a patch of earth to lie in. I was considering getting her a wading pool to cool off in, but fortunately I found out she’s a bit of a diva when it comes to getting her dainty paws wet!
Didn’t Farley die later, possibly after swimming &/or helping one of the kids? Wasn’t he replaced by another dog of the same breed, possibly by a pup he sired? Been a lot of years (& brain cells) since I read the original run of the strip…

It looks like Farley passed out before he got a chance to teach April how to swim. I wonder if that’s going to cause him problems later on.

My folks raised Pomeranians and they had a great picture of a tiny pup one hot summer sound asleep in a small water dish.

Our dog had her own wading pool.

Can someone please explain why the tree in the background of panel four has become a huge pile of leaves in the final panel?

Anyone else notice how fast April is growing up? She’s not even four months old yet. That’s way to young for big sis to take her to a wading pool.

looks like they need to get another pool. Farley has claimed this one as his own.

Amazing how dogs will struggle and fight bath time but will pile right into a puddle or a pool.

They’re going to need a bigger pool.

The sound effects made by Farley while drinking are truly worthy of MAD Magazine’s Don Martin.

Farley didn’t pass out – he’s relaxing and enjoying the cold water. Its hot and he has a lot of fur.

He’s got fur. So he gets first dibs on the pool
