I don’t think Sirius understands what a “fight” is.

That’s a good thing.

Sirius only gets playing ball, not snowball fight.

“Fire a warning shot across her nose!”

…

“Careful, you idiot! I said ACROSS her nose, not UP it!”

I wonder who the unseen Space(snow)baller is?

This one is cute! Sirius catching a snowball was impressive! My dog would also eat it.

As a pup my dog loved to play ‘snowballs’ on the frozen lake. His favorite thing to do was a ‘hockey stop’ as he found the thrown snowball. Full body, half rotation…snow flowing over him. Thanks for the memory, Nancy.

I love that the snowball is the size of a pea by the time he has returned it.

Why not!

He does!

Duty calls.

I sense a disturbance in the Force. Be mindful, a Poppy is near.

Let Sirius have his fun, Kate.

Love the active leap in the air and the sound effects: Pok! Zeem!

When I was in high school, one of the neighbors had a Scottie named Perkins who’d try to catch & fetch snowballs. He’d also run excitedly alongside sleds going down the hill behind our place. Fun pupper!

Sooooo funny! And real!

Ha, a dog retrieving balls in a snowball fight. Wish I had thought of that one!

Congratulations and thank you, Nancy. You wrote a snowball-dog joke that wasn’t already done by Snoopy.

Don Martin would have a happy tear in his eye.

The snowball in the fourth panel just missed your nose, Kate!

Will it be a game between friends or is her opponent her annoying classmate?
