For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for September 29, 2023

Let sleeping dogs lie

Just guilt her into it like Mrs. Baird did with Farley.

Does Sera know she is having puppies whose dad is old enough to be their grandfather? ;-)

Elizabeth seems to have the strange idea that Elly has some kind of ownership and control over Sers’s puppies and for some odd reason, Connie agrees with her. Meanwhile, John Patterson who actually was the one who convinced Elly to get Farley and who also pays for the dog food and the dog’s vet bills, seems to be hidden somewhere. April’s already in bed. Shouldn’t John be home by now?

Ecce Edgrr!!

Ahem. Neuter and spay, please!

Well Liz, as they say, coo sera, sera. Whatever will be, will be. The future is not ours to see!

“So cool”… right.

All this commenting on having these dogs “fixed!” They’re comic strip characters, already!!

Ah. the Farley Story arc marches forward – Reading it a second time in real time….well……

Normally the papa’s owner gets to pick one!

Depends on the time of day. April CAN have a nap during the day you know. lol

And so… Edgar is coming.

I suppose they could sell the puppies but mutts are usually free. I wonder what breed Farley is, …mostly.

Just noticed, Liz’s hair not only changed but now she is as tall as mom!!

You know Ellie, you could have nipped this in the bud a long time ago, so now buck up and accept responsibility.

Oh,look, 101 DALMATIANS is on TV…..

Elly does have some control over the puppies – and so does Connie. Ever heard the terms Spay and Neuter?

If I remember correctly, Farley was also the result of an unexpected batch of puppies from the unneutered male dog (in the family I think). At the time people commented on why Farley’s father had not been neutered and was left to run around. So I guess letting their dogs run around and breeding indiscriminately is okay? And we have so many abandoned and abused dogs because people think it cute to have puppies but forget they become dogs that need care, attention, food, medical care etc……Go to any county/city website in the USA and see the number of dogs that are waiting for adoption because they have been abandoned by their owners. Sorry for the rant – but I do wish people would think about the excess dogs and cats sitting and waiting for adoption or they will be euthanized,

With all those crazy females around, John probably stopped for drink… or two… LOL.
