Rubes by Leigh Rubin for March 31, 2021

I once had a pure white cat named Spot.

The irony bored.

If the irony was any greater they would have to change his name to Rusty.

Chained Rover.

A hairless “Fluffy”.

Lassie was played by a “Laddie”.

Few things sadder than a dog chained up …

I had a turtle named Speedy

Surprised that his leg can reach the top of his head.

I used to know a woman who named all her dogs Spot. I guess she figured she wouldn’t forget their names that way.

It’s a short rove.. but make the best of it, at least you will never be far from home

Curtailed

Maybe that’s why he’s tied to a short rope

“I feel you brother canine; my name is “Killer”

Only a wienie dog would bring that up…

But his mind tends to wander.

“Rex” is another ironic name, along with anything else that sounds imperious.
