Red and Rover by Brian Basset for November 04, 2024

But the leftover milk in the bowl will be nice and sweet from all the sugar in that cereal.

If Mom “has a cow” will there be some more milk from the cow?

Whatever mom doesn’t see …

Ha, good thinking Red! The artful Dodger.

Yummy sweet milk for our Rover! Now rinse the bowl while mom is distracted!

The sweet milk at the end is the best part!!

Isn’t that one of the reasons to have a dog?

If mom did not see it…….did it happen?

Oh no Red, bad form!

I won’t tell if you won’t!

My Dingo/Shepherd cross would sit under the dinning table, peeking at me with one eye until I gave him the extra milk from my cereal. Of course I always used too much milk.

Yes, Mom would be very upset with Rover licking Red’s bowl….

I don’t know if milk is good for dogs, but they don’t care.

Milk is safe for dogs. However, most dogs are at least a little lactose intolerant. So, an occasional bit of milk is ok. Too much, and you’re risking potential stinky side effects. :D (I’ve always given my doggies a small amount of plain Greek yogurt. It’s low in lactose, and the good bacteria helps counter stinky output)

I always LOVE this strip and I hate having even a small criticism, but….(and this is a common thing): when someone draws out a word, it is the vowel that is drawn out, not the consonant. The vowel is much easier to make heard. If Red were drawing out the “m” it would just sound like a hum and Mom would be much less likely to hear it. Just sayin’…
