That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for April 30, 2021

Pepper’s owner forgot the “safe word” again.

“It’s your turn now. You might want to widen the collar.”

Ok, I don’t know how the artist did it, but he made the dog look naked. And it’s creepy, and it has to stop.

Why does everybody see the dog collar and automatically think ‘Oh, look, bondage’? Especially with a dog standing right there. Isn’t it more likely that the dog just needs to go for a walk? I know that it’s 2 am, and the wind has picked up, driving the sleet into the side of the house, and you have to get up to go to work 4 hours, but walking a dog is not bondage.

Daisy’s mug shot, that time when the cat disappeared.

“The word on the street is that I’m your best friend. That doesn’t say a whole lot for your people skills.”

“Don’t forget the plastic bags this time. You don’t want to have to use your sock again.”

The one with the waggly tail

How much is that doggie in the window? (woof woof)

I do hope that doggie’s for sale."♪♫

(as sung by The Rage, Miss Patti Page)

The Hound of the Basketballs disguised as a delinquent dachs. In a later life, soured by his depiction in the movies, he is reborn as Cujo!

“Sprichst du zu MIR ?”(You tawkin’ to ME ?”)

Boy, oh boy do I know that look!

“At this very moment I’m peeing in your slipper.”

You are under my spell, when I click my fingers……… darn it!

Who’s a good boi???

Beautiful – I think I’m in love.

There’s never been more of a drag/ (the thought of it makes me gag)/ than to walk through a storm/ to pick up something warm/ with your hand in a plastic bag.

I see you are eating Doritos. I, too, like Doritos.

Crusoe, between takes and outfits.

Bow wow!

John hated it when the timeshare companies used the cute puppy tactic.

Portrait of Herr Spencer Bentley III ready for a perambulation on his vast estates.

Spencer Bentley III ( there never was an I or II ) was the name my daughter gave to her first dachshund because it sounded “regal”! Spencer did look exactly like the dog in this painting. He ruled her home – which he considered his personal fiefdom – for over 17 years.

And while you’re on line, order yourself a new pair of slippers.

Forever jealous that Hitler chose a German Shepherd over the classic German Dachshund as his pet, Hans Der Hund made the unwise decision to join the troops on the Eastern Front in 1940. Far from showing up the infamous but cowardly “Blondie” with his devotion to the Führer’s cause, Hans was last seen being roasted on a spit by a starving, bedraggled German soldier in the winter of ’42.

Houdini, the escape dog.

“Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You had me spayed. Prepare to die.”

Leashes? I don’t need no stinking leashes!

Winner of the Arnold Schwarzenegger look-a-like contest at this year’s Westminster show.

LEASH hiding dog’s gender, so everyone is happy.

Mungo just pawn in game of life. :)

and WHY were you paying attention to the cat instead of me?

Does this painting make my Weiner look big?

Great walkies guilt look btw…
