That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for October 27, 2020

“Don’t be upset. At least you got custody of me.”

“My plan worked to perfection, and now I have you all to myself!”

“Okay Liberace, let’s go over it one more time: man’s best friend doesn’t pee on man’s best carpet.”

’Ya want me to take care of them bill collectors master?"

When you said Jennifer was bringing her cat over for dinner, I thought . . .

A letter in which you learn/ that the lady has chosen to spurn/ your request for her hand/ would seem to demand/ an expression of canine concern.

Or perhaps some still greater disaster/ had befallen the handsome young master ?/ He had bet the plantation/ on a horse called Citation/ who was fast – but Seabiscuit was faster.

pooch so excited that it’s going to get all daddy’s attention from now on…

“ It pains me to say this,Fido,but it says here that you’ll have to wear the cone of shame for a couple weeks. “

“Dobie, Jack’s Pinscher was getting excited because it looked like he was growing a squirrel tail.”

It was the cat…dammit! It wasn’t me Dad….you know how that cat walks around here like she rules the place…that crazy feline is trying to set me up….

Give it to me straight John. Am I in trouble for littering?

Let me know if you want me to bite your other knee.

“I swear that poodle Fifi meant nothing to me. You have to believe that, Sparky! It’s not you. It’s me. I just need some space to work things out, you know?”

Ruby not only took her love to town, she left a note advising him to not wait up.

I TOLD THEM, NO STARCH IN THE PANTS!!!!

Unless that letter says they are cancelling Lassie, I don’t know what you are so upset about?!

I sent you to fetch he paper, not the bill.

Bowser tried doggedly to raise his master’s spirits..but to no avail.

With Hollywood still running behind on its production schedule, the major TV networks were forced to dust off and air all those pilots that never got picked up, like the historical medical drama, “Minnie Doberman, M.D.” (Hey, don’t laugh—it’s ranked a solid 8.3 out of 10 on Rotten Tomatoes.)

“HIC! I can’t believe it Shhparky, HIC! She looked like a dog so I HIC thought she’d be loyal like one too. Ish just me and you now Shhparky old pal. HIC!”

SPARKY: WOOF! Yeah, about that…

Good dog for bringing in the mail!

Bad dog for making the mail into mush.

Lord Throckmorton learns that the tRUMPS are moving in next door!

Julie said good bye, she was unhappy with his fruit boot fetish.

I’ve heard of the “layered look,” but sheesh.

Brendan was distraught that he’d donned his wading pants, but couldn’t find his wading boots.

" I don’t mind her leaving me, but she took my best broodmare and the stallion!"

This would have probably worked out better if the minpin hasn’t eaten his lady love’s cat.

“Sorry, Sparky, Mrs. Hudson says you have to go after what you did on the floor. Can’t include you in the rest of A Study in Scarlet or any other stories.”

No, no, no. I told you to keep a stiff upper lip! Not a stiff … you know what – never mind.

“DANG! The dog ate the love letter!”
