For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for April 27, 2018

did Farley help himself to the candles, Michael, or did you (or your guests) give him them?

Don’t try this at home, kids. As tempting as it is to feed your dog anything because they are not very discriminating eaters, candles are not the best thing for a dog. While the wax of a candle probably won’t do anything to your dog, the wick could wrap around something inside of the dog and cause problems. If dog eats a candle (or candles in this case), the vet would say to watch the dog carefully. Farley’s pain is not a good sign. No wonder Elly is grimacing. She knows that they may be making a trip to the animal hospital. It would not be the first time they have had to take Farley to the hospital because of something he has eaten.

This too shall ‘Pass’.

Does this make Farley a “light” eater?

Farley’s going to have some really spectacularly psychedelic poops these next few days

Why? Is someone going to light the candles as they exit his body? They’d have to be lit before they could melt and cause those psychedelic effects…Should be an exciting exit!

It’s not funny, Mike. Farley could be seriously hurt by eating birthday candles. You’re 13, you should know how to take basic care of your dog!

For those wondering, this is the last time we’ll see teacher-Janet. I guess her friendship with Martha is over.

I know, I know, candles are bad for dogs and you shouldn’t feed them to them along with coffee and chocolate…..

After the ‘way’ the party went, I’m surprised that ‘Mike’ is in such a good mood ! ! ! !

See you later, Martha.

Just keep him away from open flames!

Elly is constipated again.
