Pooch Cafe by Paul Gilligan for August 13, 2015

Early morning greetings to all East Coat readers.And late night greetings to all West Coast readers.-——-Carmen, place a jumbo band aid across Poncho’s mouth.-——-Have a prosperous day my friends.

Oh yes. I feel a snap!!! about to happen.

A rescue dog group I volunteered for is strongly against retractable leashes. It’s harder to control the dog because you can’t get a grip on the leash if necessary.

Scary, where will she “lose” him?

We’re off on another adventure!

So, why does a dog, that runs freely through town on his own, suddenly need a leash and walkies?

@Stryk428’ MickMaus and WDemBlk: if the dog takes off running, when the end of the leash is reached the dog could injure its neck. Have an abundant day my friends.

Couldn’t she lose that ugly blouse and hold on to the leash instead? Oh dear….just realized what I wrote. Ah heck, let ’er rip.

I’ve never liked the idea of a retractable leash, but I could never put my finger on just why.

Poncho doesn’t like it because, in cartoon universe, a dropped leash retracts at high speed and makes him see stars. The subject has come up before in PC.
