does anyone know folks like Steph? Cheery and inconsiderate. Nice but not kind. Yet Aloof. i cant figure out if shes shallow as a puddle or deeply manipulative.
How did she get this far in life treating people like this?
I think I can see where this story is going. Tiffany must take Puddles with her to work because Dez has allergies to dogs and no one will be there to watch him. She will ask if there is any safe place to keep Puddles while she works.
If Dez were allergic to dogs she would have had an allergic reaction that time she came to visit Bernice atLuann’s house, because no matter how much they cleaned the house it would have been filled with dog dander. Greg is violating recent continuity to bring this arc too an end. Or perhaps De has caught covid…..
OK. Tiff brings Puddles to the Fuse because everyone splits except Dez and her allergy. She tries to hide him but that is when Nancy recognizes him? BTW, my opinion of Dez kind of dropped a bit here. I can see Bets or Stef going all gaga over picking up a stray (Stef is just an airhead and Bets saw an opportunity to put him on her social platform for more likes and views) but I really thought Dez might do the responsible thing and take him to the vet where they would find a microchip. Another thought, would TJ recognize Puddles if Tiff tried to hide him at the Fuse while she worked?
Stefi is the one who can stay with Puddles. Missing a cheer practice is no biggie but she is treating it like a career. Yeah, a career of finding a husband off the football field.
Maybe this story will conclude this week, if Tiff takes Pud to the Fuse and hides him in the storage room. That’s provided Nancy finds him first and not Ox, Les or some zealot from the local health department..
Now if that’s the case, and a happy ending ensues, I wonder how the DeGroots will “reward” Tiffany for finding their lost pooch? An assistant manager job perhaps?
OR will ladies find someone else to “dog-sit” Puddles?
Like Kip or the G-Man?
Oh.
And congratulations to Stef for taking first place in the most Hated Character awards! ;-)
Stef is seriously horrible. She talk with the dog a little and then put all the weight on Tiffany (again) without any remorse, like if that is the normal way to do for her. What kind of spoiled child she is? About Dez, I hope that’s not allergy, but it’s nice to see how quickly Tiffany moved Puddles away from her face. She really care a lot♡. The diversity between Tiffany and and Stef is more and more evident, i like this because the comparison makes Tiffany shine.
I can see a battle between Shannon and Stef for the title of most annoying character in the strip. I feel like Shannon holds the title for how many times she appears, but there is the rare strip in which she can be endearing. Stef has never been anything but a uber-selfish pain in the tuchus.
I seem to be in agreement with a few of the other readers here. Tiffany is going to feel she has not choice but to take Puddles to work with her at The fuse where he’s recognized and gets back to his rightful home. I don’t think the writers will have a hard time stretching that out for four more days.
And now we see the solution. Tiff takes Puds to work and someone recognizes him; Nancy, TJ or even Luann herself. OR Another person “adopts” him. OR He runs away again.
So Luann will only get her dog back because Puddles has become inconvenient to his finders, not because they initially made a serious effort to find his owner? (Sorry, Stef knew that the dog was lost far from the dorms so the postage stamp sized bulletin board notice doesn’t count…)
First we get the reminder of the heartbreak of losing a pet, then the anger at people who steal other peoples lost pets. Now they show us the disenchantment when the stolen (or adopted) pet turns out to be less than perfect or their upkeep becomes inconvenient for people’s lifestyles (like so many puppies and kittens). Puddles has proven to be less than perfect for Tiffany and Dez, now all he has to do is knock over Bets’ video gear and chew up that cheer uniform and maybe they will finally do the right thing and go get his chip read. I agree with kauri44 – these girls should have tried to find his owner right when Stephanie “found” him (as he was on his way home).
Funny how Luann was moving the entire world to get her dog back, even calling her firefighter brother when she though Shannon lost it, but now that it’s her fault he is missing she’s just standing by hopping for the best.
I can’t believe that these women still haven’t thought of checking for a microchip. Like, really? You find a dog and he’s automatically your “new puppers”? He’s obviously well fed and cared for, so he’s obviously a loved pet who’s gotten lost.
Today’s show: The Irresponsibles, a gang of oh-so-clever college kids who are not mature enough to care for a pet. What does that say for returning Puddles to (uh-oh) Luann?!

I have a feeling, Luann is going to get her dog back, really soon! =)
Possibly, Tiff takes Puddles to The Fuse and there Nancy spots him??
