For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for February 24, 2021

I don’t think so, John.

That’s cruelty to animals.

The part we are missing between Panels 2 and 3, which might have been the most amusing part of this, was the part where John looks at the door and for some strange and bizarre reason makes the decision that the best way to solve the problem is not to go to the hardware store and buy weather stripping, but to drag the dog to the door in order to block the draft. Frankly I am surprised that the John we know would skip a hardware store trip.

I have a rolled up bath towel at mine.

Instead of using Farley, John could easily fix it with one of those pool noodles. Just cut it down one side and slide it under the door edge then close it.

At least it’s a quick solution, not a lasting one though. :D

My dog would be laying on the couch if there was a draft.

This strip is set in Canada … you don’t mess with cold drafts in Canada! Especially if you’ve got a baby in the house!

Poor Farley!

Farley not only keeps the cold out but also keeps the warmth in.

I’ve used towels, but we also bought one of those stuffed dogs that basically blocks the gap the same way a towel would. Of course, now retired in Florida, I don’t have these problems anymore. LOL

WOW. a dog with a job. I’m impressed!

Now you know where St. Michael gets his asshat-iness from.

…And Elly can’t just roll up a towel and shove it down at the bottom of the door…. why?

I do not think that is what she had in mind.

Creative thinking. Not sure how long it will work, though. A rolled up towel is less likely to get up and move to a warmer spot.

In this case Farley is the only duct tape available. ..dog-t tape?

Canadian Tire : Frost King Vinyl U-Shaped Door Bottom Draft Blocker $14.99

That is just a quick fix!

Actually, installing a door strip isn’t that difficult. Even I’ve done it. And I have the mechanical abilty of a rock, maybe less. But one has to go down to Home Depot or someplace and find one.

You can move March 15th

Can you be any lazier, John? You are a proven more than once jerk when it comes to animal welfare, too.

Canine draft excluder. :-D I actually know one dog who would appreciate this. She loves the cold, and would probably choose to lie there just because it’s cooler than the rest of the house. It can be 15 degrees F outside and she’ll go lie on the ice to cool off. Naturally, she hates summer!

Animal cruelty is wrong.

To those complaining about using the dog … my friends husky and sheep dogs will lay on the deck outside, and refuse to come in, even when it’s -20C … they prefer cold to heat.

I know this is a joke for fun and it made me laugh, but I really have to condemn John about this, because it’s both lazy AND disrecpectful about a family member, because no matter what you can say a dog is part of one family.

Lay John down there.

Poor Farley. A doormat from day one. And today, literally. Sad.

Why did that make me laugh out loud just now. :-)

John and Elly have two slaves named Michael and Elizabeth and a beast of burden named Farley. Life is good.

Rolled-up old bath towels usually do the trick.
