Red and Rover by Brian Basset for July 12, 2023

Good appetite, Red and Rover!

Does it lead to poopsicles afterward?

i love this ice-cream man, he always gives rover an ice-cream and even makes sure its safe for him to eat!

Popsicle Pete really knows his client base!

The dogs at the daycare Newton goes to occasionally get frozen paw-shaped treats on very hot days!

I always enjoy seeing Popsicle Pete. He brings back many fond memories of summers as a kid. BTW, respect Popsicle Pete for making sure Rover gets a pet-safe treat. Happy Summer!

Helps with the heat,

Is really neat,

Popsicle Pete

Sure is sweet.

I love this comic! It just reminds me of my childhood and Johnny the Good Humor ice cream man.

This reminds me of my first summer job.I worked in a combination pretzel bakery and snack shop. In the morning, I’d twist the dough for soft pretzels. In the afternoon, I’d stand at the snack shop counter and sell penny candy, popcorn, and especially, water ice. My favorite customer was an officer of Philadelphia’s Mounted Unit, which is to say a cop on a horse. Every day, the cop would tie his horse to a parking meter, and order two water ices—cherry for him, lemon for his horse. He’d go outside and feed the lemon water ice tothe horse. Norman Rockwell would have loved the image.

“Pupsicles”…LOL

Ahhh.. the Good Ol’ Days… looks like Red is buying popsicles for $0.25 each.

Do dogs get brain freeze?

Yummy!

Nothing but the best…….

LOL!

Good to see you, Popsicle Pete

Those were the days – when popsicles cost a quarter each.

Red dye-2 is “all natural”?

I love Red and Rover.

You can buy silicone popsicle makers anywhere these days and they are so inexpensive. Get some for your dog and put a rawhide treat in it and fill it with water and freeze it. Great for a dog on a hot day. This is also great for a young puppy who is teething. I did this for my dog Shilo when he was teething. The cold gave him relief from the hot pain in his gums and he loved them.

Popsicle Pete is a treasure.

And it seems Red removed his shoes while he was waiting. Yesterday had him wearing sneakers.

Here’s some recipes. Most will work on human kids too. https://petkeen.com/recipes-for-dog-popsicles/
