Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal by Zach Weinersmith for February 03, 2019

They believe that pets

have no concept of dying,

and that’s a blessing.

But that awful certainty lurks like a

dark cloud in the back of the minds

of all true pet lovers.

And that is our only curse.

Enjoy the good times, because you know the grief will come.

Could be worse. You could be eating your own poop.

Snoopy isn’t “average,” though.

He’s already been around for close to 70 years.

So now you’ve depressed me for the day. I’m with Charlie—good grief.

Yes, but to a dog every day is Saturday.

The Red Barron might shoot him down first.

Getting a puppy again is the triumph of hope over experience. Although at this point in my life, I’d say it’s pretty even odds on who goes first.

Our last dog lasted 18 years and we lost him last spring. We’re debating a new dog, which should outlast us. Dogs also gieve btw.
