Since its debut in 1979, For Better or For Worse has touched comic strip readers as few cartoons ever do. Cartoonist Lynn Johnston’s eye for detail and her uncanny sense of what real parents and children struggle with daily are a big part of her success. The world has watched the Patterson family grow up in real time, and to many readers, the Pattersons feel like family!
Parents and children alike will relate to the obstacles that the Patterson family faces. Curfews, parent date nights, babysitting, pets and distractions are all hurdles that the Pattersons must overcome in order to enjoy each other as a family. They face the same obstacles that real life families do, which is what makes them so loveable.

Dogs take a lot of abuse from children, sometimes painful; but when they finally object the family wants to have them put down.
Here’s a question for you: The owners of the Burmese python that crushed the woman’s 2 year old daughter to death were convicted and sentenced for manslaughter among other things. The snake hadn’t been fed in over 2 months. Should the snake have been euthanized?

Poor Farley!! “Nizzie” needs to be taught how to deal with animals without abusing them.

Nizzie go to her room and leave Farley alone.

“nizzie” wasn’t abusing farley…she was behaving like a typical 3 year old with a large living toy. three year olds are not known for their gentle treatment of pets. and as a snake owner, i have had my pet python around children only after it’s been fed and rested. it’s up to the snake’s owners to properly feed and monitor the snake’s and child’s behavior.

Kids need training in how to handle pets. It is not OK to hurt others. And that includes pets.

In this – and most cases – it’s the parent who doesn’t monitor a child around the dog. I’m sorry, but dogs are tamed, but still have instincts. You can’t expect them to get man handled and not react.
PARENTS REMEMBER TO WATCH YOUR CHILDREN AROUND ANIMALS.

In my house, Nizzie would have been in for the scolding, not Farley.

We introduced my little nephew to my grandparents’ dog last Christmas. He would chase that dog all over the place and try to pat it the same way Elizabeth is here (boomboom), and we kept having to be like, “Geeeeentle. Geeeeeeentle” while guiding him on how to pet.
He didn’t quite get it by the time we left, but we certainly didn’t let him beat up on the poor dog.

Momma didn’t see anything Nizzie did to poor Farley. Momma came in the room and saw Nizzie on the floor, with Farley going ’ ***WOOOFFFF*** Farley should be commended for his tolerance of the the accidental abuse Nizzie parcled out and if Michael had been behind Nizzie watching the scene unfold he should have spoke up on Farley’s behalf.
And yes, I am from the school that our fur babies are not ‘it’. They are he and she, him and her (and my sweetie noogums, of course…. :-) )
