Pooch Cafe by Paul Gilligan for October 13, 2018

I wonder why with that orange dog. (Pink dog at far left must be Poo-poo.)

Poor guy! We’ve got lots of neighbors who aced that course, but my dogs got a D and an F.

Congrats, Brownie! You just won a date with Droolia!

Large dogs have to rest between barks.

My dog got an A+ in this class.

Yapping class is only for small dogs.

What’s that breed of dog that doesn’t bark unless it’s taught to?

Where is Poncho?

I see that size does matter in the yapping game. Perhaps Darwinism had a hand in things. I mean if your German Shepard dog ‘yapped’, I’m thinking it might not be encouraged to multiply. Particularly by your neighbors.

All the responses made me LOL. Good work, everyone!

I second 1Jenny! I was laughing my head off all through the comments. Thanks, everybody!

I have to add that “baying hounds” are a phenomenon all their own. I hadn’t heard one in 8 or 9 years when I lived in the city, but I recently returned to the country. I was walking by a truck and didn’t see the dog at first, but that mournful sound about made me jump out of my skin! My SIL was laughing at me! So I referred her to read “Hound of the Baskervilles” (Sherlock Holmes story), which she had never heard of. :-)

The bigger dogs tend to go to obedience class. The other is for pretend confidence. The two don’t work together. No wonder so many are very confused.
