Buckles by David Gilbert for October 08, 2024

Mom always liked you best…..

THE LORE IS EXPANDING! (Well, technically it already did expand, but it hasn’t been unearthed since its initial debut.)

Please tell me it was the daisy hill puppy farm

Buckles did not know of his siblings? I wonder if he will try to reconnect with them?!

When I got my kitty Rachella (not the kitty in the picture) I wished I could’ve gotten her sister too. Rachella was a calico and her sister was a dilute calico (gray, tan and white rather than rust, black and white). I wonder how much our pets do remember of their mother and siblings before we take them to their forever homes.

Incredible Journey plot, anyone(not exactly, but it came to me)!

It was obvious my rescue, Gracie, had had puppies. But wasn’t mentioned. How did she feel about her puppies taken away? :’~(

Awwwwww

I sense another story arc coming.

I hope it wasn’t a puppy mill!

There’s Buckles in the center panel next to Spot

Snoopy knew his brothers and sisters.

Reminiscent of the Daisy Hill puppy farm, where Snoopy lived his first few weeks.

I will one day adopt a descendent of my current beagle. I am hoping I can do it before she’s gone, but we are only allowed one pet per our HOA. My dog has kidney failure, so I guess I can say she’s only got X weeks to live. It will be true all too soon. I just can’t decide if another dog would be a comfort or annoyance to her. She seems to actually prefer to be home alone with me. This is not usual with a beagle, so I think if she had another beagle, she might be happy with the idea after a few days.

Buckles’ siblings are adorable! I like this storyline.

Buckles reaction may be similar in a way to how adopted or foster children find out they have a brother or sister they were separated when they got adopted or placed in a foster family when they were too young to remember their sibling. Many spend years looking for lost relatives since information about who they really are, at least in the USA, is sealed supposedly for their protection, which is a leftover from the days in which being adopted was a social taboo since it was assumed the adoptee could be “born out of wedlock”. Even in our conservative neighbor south of the border, an adoptee can request his original birth certificate when he turns 18, and I think in many European countries they can now do that too.
