    We always use the hose to wash our dogs. It makes it a game for them.

    I used the hose too.
    My dog would try to bite the water.
    He thought it was great fun.
    Yet when I tried to give him a bath in the bathtub, he hated it.

    @3hour tour! That’s right. Lynn is from Canada, and the strip takes place in Northern Ontario, where she resides. I met Lynn- she’s a lovely woman.

    Happy 4th of July neighbours!

    Shikamoo - The fictional suburban town of Milborough is located near Lake Simcoe. On the FBorFW website, Milborough is described as being about a 45 minute to one hour drive from Toronto and resembling Newmarket or Etobicoke,[12] and a location map places the town on Highway 12 near Cannington and Beaverton in the northernmost part of Durham Region.[13] The family’s house is located on Sharon Park Drive.

    HAPPY 4th for the Yankees!

    Michael would make a great attorney, if his future writing career goes south. He obeyed the letter of the law, just not the spirit…

    Happy Independence Day… :)

    Here you can see the consequences of washing a dog too many times in one day. At one end of the hose we see Michael with a spout of water, but the other end appears to be attached to Farley the dog, as the source of the water.

    ladywolf17, technically Michael did not break the promise–since he only promised that Farley would stay on-property (and didn’t address the wet/dirty–although I would say he got wet only, and cleaned again by the hosewater).

    At least Farley doesn’t smell anymore.

    I REALLY miss the old gang, Mikes wife and kids! Why can’t she do them on Sundays only?

    @AllanVS -Thank you. I may have been mixed up with Elizabeth going to a Northern community to teach. Also, I think I read somewhere that Lynn has lived in Thunder Bay or somewhere up there- I guess that’s not exactly Northern Ontario though, compared to some places.

    I have a memory like a sieve for names and places BTW. ☺

    @doctortoon- I also met Mort Walker of Beetle Bailey the same day and I have a signed book from both of them.

    Me too! I think that is a good idea. Like FoxTrot did.
    Does Lynn see these posts?
