For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for August 02, 2009

Poor Anne!!!

Poor Farley!!!!

Poor Elley!!!!

Bwahahahhhahahahahh!

LE WHOOPS!!!!

Whoops, sorry!

THAT’S WHY WE HAVE DRYERS

I LOVE Farley’s facial expressions in the first 4 panels. 1 - Hey Momma! Look what I did! 2 - Woot oh … she’s got that evil hair pulling thing! 3 - Augh! it bothers! 4 - Is the mad woman done yet?

I would be sneezing my head off!

We are soooo lucky to live in the country ~ that’s where big, hairy dogs flourish ~ Farley does well in the city but a black lab would go bonkers!

koskid - Yup, relatives of mine who live in the Phoenix area, just got a lab puppy and immediately I thought, what lab is going to be happy in Phoenix? It is hot, with very few places to go for a refreshing swim and no place to roam.

If you don’t want to be brushing the dog everyday, get a more low maintenance type of dog. English Sheep Dogs need lots of grooming to look their best. A big chore for this busy family.

Use the vaccum cleaner to collect those shedding hair!

Oops…Not sure why she would put it over the fence though! D-oh!

it’s an ill wind that blows nobody good.

Solar-powered clothes-drying: good. Responsible pet care: good. Forgetting to peek over the fence first: not so good.

Everybody lives downstream. And downwind.

smart dog, to be going to university. U Conn, perhaps? or would it be Washington?

Dang wind indeed, ladywolf17. Dang wind indeed.

Elly should’ve done it inside and got rid of Farley’s clumps in the garbage can.

It’s a good thing I’ve never owned a dog in my life. When I brushed my ex-boss’s Pekingese (I wasn’t fired, by the way, I was laid-off), I wasn’t sure if I did a good job. So I’d have to do it again until I’ve gotten the unwanted loose fur off of the little guy.

@joyce71 i am horrified! do you mean that elly should put farley in the dryer? he would clog it completely and it would never work again! :oD

OMG You are so FUNNY!! Laughing!

Haha, the same thing happened to me last night when I was brushing my Sheltie. Well, the neighbors didn’t have their laundry out, but I was watching all that hair blow over the fence and thinking “oops, hope they don’t notice the hairballs in their backyard.”

My daughter has a golden retriver and brushes the dog outside I think she throws away the extra fur. Our cat sheds a lot too. Hot weather.

@Andij- I’m sure Ellie didn’t think about where the wind would blow it.

And birds do love to use fur for their nests. I would too1 It would be warm.

RinaFarina, hahahaha :D
