For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for September 25, 2024

Or, remove his olfactory sense?

Oh Elly. Remember, April is the little girl who let Farley over into Connie’s yard and let Sera out of her pen. She saw everything that happened, and she knows she got Edgar and all those other puppies because of it. You don’t need to tell her that Edgar’s operation will keep him from “running off with the boys.” You have a real-life example that will resonate with April.

Also, why is John imitating Little Jack Horner?

Shouldn’t Elly say, “,,,run off with the GIRLS.”??

Edgar could always watch big-screen TV with Snoopy!

And put beer in the fridge for him.

or a train-set

Or four or five itches.

Of course, it would also help if they stopped letting their dog outside off-leash.

As Dr. Jeff, Rocky Mountain Vet has stated multiple times, intact male dogs die at a higher rate than neutered ones—neutered dogs don’t escape their yards to chase a female in heat … and get hit by cars (ask any vet—most of the male dogs hit by cars that come into their clinics are intact males), and they are less likely to get cancer. And, of course, neutered males do not father puppies that too often end up in shelters … and die there (about a million every year!!) Every time I hear some guy say he’s not going to neuter his dog, I think “your dog’s balls are not your balls!” Just get your dog fixed—you’ll be saving more lives than just your own dog’s.

It would appear he’s destroying that pie. Looks like he’s pulling the crust off.

does anyone know the date this originally ran?

i’d like to see if the punchline has been updated…

Read a story where parents were told not to feed their kid before surgery. They did, he died. Idiots.

Umm… Which is cheaper?

Is that what saved John from the same fate?

Soon to follow-boxer shorts and t-shirts that are two sizes too small.

Do the Big Screen TV & buy him NFL Ticket!

Or a blow-up female dog.

By the way, rubberbands work with bull calves and they’re cheaper than the vet.

The Egyptians has those male servants, too…. called Eunuch’s.

that may only work with humans. :j

What I heard Elly intone was: “John, the next time you want a big screen TV, go ahead and buy one!”

I’m thinking someone else hasn’t had that operation yet! haha

This thread is making me shrink!

Pen-is headed Farley killer!

Pen-is headed Farley killer!

Oh you are so funny Elle, for an “old” gal.

Ouch ! ;-)

Noticed how Elly is taking the pie (which must be for later) away from John

Running off with the boys isn’t the problem, it’s running off with the girls.

Somehow I don’t think running off with the ‘boys’ is the concern……

Snip, snip

Every so often Ellie comes up with a brilliant solution to the problem.

Or a leaf blower!

Ever see a dog stare at the TV and you’d swear it knows what’s going on?

hmmm How did that work in real life Lynn?
