Pickles by Brian Crane for September 20, 2018

Roscoe’s first commandment, “You shall have no other friends before me!”

well, at least it wasn’t a fire ant; that’d sting both Nelson’s bare arm and Roscoe’s tongue

Knowing ants, it would have been MRS ant.

It’s a dog thing ! Eat strange stuff and roll in strange stuff !

Oh, the times they could have had together!

I am SOOOoooooo glad I’m not a dog.

That ant would have been lonely without its colony.

And Roscoe at least is curious. That is a sign of intelligence. Although hanging with Earl might drop it a little.

That’s okay. The ant would have bit you anyway.

Quick give poochie a formic acid antidote, or just clean up his puke and diarrhea.

I knew dogs ate flies, but ants??? My border-beagle is an expert “fly-catcher!”

One of my dogs followed a spider across the floor, stopping it by putting her nose on top – only to let it go then do it again and again. One of my other dogs swallowed a bee and wasn’t very well for a few days.

Ants are not our friends.

Dead ant, dead ant, dead ant, dead ant dead ant (My apologies to the Pink Panther). ;-}

Sometimes a dog’s just gotta do what a dog’s gotta do.
