For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for May 23, 2022

workers’ lunch time, dog’s mooch time

And then the Pattersons cannot understand why Farley doesn’t like his dog food any more.

At least you have 30 minutes of quiet.

He’s figured out lunch break

“Hello, gentlemen. I’m here to inspect your lunches for taste, texture and yummy-ness.”

Good ol’ Farley; he knows a good deal when he “hears” it!!

Ah a begging dog… a con as old as time.

One of my dogs gained 5lbs during a remodel job a few years ago.

The best was when my gardeners used to buy my dog her own little burrito before they came to my house in the morning.

The absence of noise denotes something too.

The sound of food wakes them out of a dead sleep!

Sheep Dogs know when the flock changes from the norm.

someone’s getting use to the sound of breaktime coming.

Dogs learn quickly when the humans are available for mooching. ;-)

Our former dog Pepper did exactly that when they were remodeling a house two doors away from ours. The guys said she would come in and inspect the entire place every day—and get some handouts of course.

Clever Farley!

Years ago our neighbor’s dog used to go visit the factory at the end of the street at lunch time.

Smart dog!

Reminds me of ours.

While that bunch munch, the pooch will mooch.

I like his smiling face in the last panel.

Farley is no dummy.

" . . . shnack time!!!"

Our dog jumps to life when she hears kitchen sounds.

And construction workers live strictly on a diet of cold-cuts.

Selective hearing.

Farley is so smart when it comes to f-o-o-d.

Smart dog!
