    Our niece and nephew were afraid of our large dogs until they met Bodhi Bodacious the Mass of Hot Air and Love, who was delighted to give them kisses.

    So they demanded and got a brindle dog from their local humane society, and named her “Squishy Chewbacca.”

    She loves to play with Bodhi, chasing each other around her backyard.

    Monster had no trouble with nail-filing, being a very mellow dog, but his pal Addie loathed the ordeal. I can’t remember about the other dogs.

    Whale, whale, whale…what have we here?

    I think you’re right.

    Yes, the last time I disciplined my daughter, she was in the fourth grade.

    She turns 28 on Saturday.

    Now she disciplines me….

    Really…I did not know that.

    Well, I’m a historian and journalist, not a fertility expert. I yield to you. However, they do need to relax, and think, “We are having marital fun,” and enjoy themselves.

    However, Brad will certainly lower his sperm count if he goes into the boys’ room with that magazine that features Miss April smiling insincerely and giving an interview that says just as insincerely that she wants to “marry an ordinary guy,” and does what most men do while reading that section. So Toni better hide those magazines, if he hasn’t got rid of them already. I’m sure he did as soon as they started sharing the same bed.

    Also, no matter how much Brad and Toni want to engage in adult recreation that puts the sperm in other places besides the baby-making place, they’d better not. That will also waste sperm.

    They can celebrate her pregnancy by resuming that activity.

    The cartoonists who dreamed up Superman were Canadian. They put that on a postage stamp series that honored Canadian cartoonists and their superhero creations.

    I am reminded of “Doogie Howser, M.D.”

    Brad and Toni need to relax. Get rid of the birth control, ramp up the romance, lust, and desire, do it as frequently as possible, in positions that enhance pregnancy chances, and don’t waste a drop of “essence.”

    I like them both. They are very different…Red and Rover are sweeter, as there is nothing malicious in either…Red does not give Susie Derkins grief or wake up his parents with a trumpet. Calvin, on the other hand, is more ingenious, with great alternate identities, like Spaceman Spiff and private gumshoe Skip Tracer. Calvin also has that transmogrification machine.
