Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for June 08, 2012

Um…… Satchel? Clip, maybe? You know, at times like this I wish Satchel would go on naughty streak, and say, hide Smacky, Bucky’s play toy…or put some sort of surprise in his drawer…or lie to Rob about Bucky….

Satchel! You’re a DOG! Eat the cat! He’s just a chew toy with claws…..and teeth……oh yeah, and attitude.

Don’t settle your cool, Satch—settle Bucky’s hash.Yeah, Satch is sweet and gentle, but it’s people like that, when they really have enough, who become forces of nature.

they put it on the floor so that everything will be aboveboard

Yeah, if it weren’t for that super sensitive nose….:)

Have to agree with GoldenRoya, I’ve seen a few cat dog mix ups. I’d say more times than not the cat is the one that comes out ahead…unless the dog can get the cat by the neck, then its all over. The trick for the dog though is getting to the neck, cat’s can be mean vicious fighters.

Don’t believe me? Try giving one a bath.

no, no, no. YOU settle YOUR cool!!

THERE IS NO SUCH WORD AS ALRIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Sorry, there just isn’t. People get it confused with “already” and “all ready” which say two different things.

alright |ôlˈrīt| variant spelling of all right . USAGE The merging of all and right to form the one-word spelling alright is first recorded toward the end of the 19th century (unlike other similar merged spellings such as altogether and already, which date from much earlier). There is no logical reason for insisting that all right be two words when other single-word forms such as altogether have long been accepted. Nevertheless, although found widely, alright remains nonstandard.

Someday I’m going to marry Darby Conley, even if it’s a 72-hour Britney Spears-ish thing.

A cat needs a bath at least once a year to get rid of the accumulated dust,dirt and oils. i learned a unique but successful method of bathing my cat from an animal trainer because my cat would jump out of a tub or deep sink and scratch with his sharp nails….Put on a bathing suit or shorts, fill a tub about a foot with lukewarm water and bubble bath, take the cat into the bathroom and close the door. Get into the tub with the cat, straddle it between your knees to prevent it from escaping and/or scratching with it’s hind legs, hold both front paws with one hand, soap up the cat with the bubble bath soap or shampoo, let the water out and rinse the soap off the cat with a spray hose, all the while holding the front paws and knee grip. Then let the cat out of the tub looking like a “drenched cat” and dry it off on your lap with a big towel. When it is mostly dry, you can open the bathroom door and let the poor thing out. My cat hated getting into the water but loved the rubdown and looked clean and fluffy for months. A good time is August so you’re not only cleaning the cat but also cooling it. Then take a shower yourself!

gufaw, gufaw, gufaw!!! that was just toooooo much. next satchel will say the phone is not close to give clip a call!!!

I live in a place where summer heat means upwards of 45ºC. For 10 years I shared my life with an albino Siamese. I bathed him twice a year, to help him shed the heavy “double” coat. He never scratched me once, but they say Siamese like water more than most felines. In summer he would come into the bathroom when I was having a bath and stand there begging to be let in the tub. Cleanest cat on this side of the Atlantic.

is this anything like dual custody?

There was, once a Get Fuzzy story arc where Bucky pushed Satchel too far — by insulting Satchel’s friends. Satchel, looming like a thundercloud, coldly told Bucky that he could throw him around like a chew toy, and Bucky shriveled in fear and whimpered for Rob. (The lesson didn’t last, of course.)

My dog would end up bleeding. The cat next door was a survivor and would let my dog know to stay away. We’d say she had a close encounter of the Max kind (name of cat) or a big Max attack.

What an adorable story.

had a dog with no manners visit our house once , … chased one of our cats, which would have been okay, but didn’t have enough sense not to corner her. He wound up wearing her on his face … hooked on with all four paws (16 claws) and with her biting his nose for good measure. It was all in fun as far as she was concerned … 8 pound cat vs 35 pound dawg … no contest. That dawg never would come within 100 feet of our house after that. He got MANNERS
