Big birds, little dog.
Dogs may not last as long a a sister. But they make much better friends.
Much less expensive in the long run and much faster delivery.
Does this also happen if a wife asks her husband for another child?
I guess it helps to ask for more than you really want, but you still don’t want to overdo it.
What are they, “Pluggers”? (Yes, I know both strips have a common creator…) :-P
I have dogs, now I want grandchildren. Now I have grand kittens and grand dogs.
You don’t have to buy a dog a car, pay its college tuition, splurge on a wedding for it, or lend it money.
Let’s see … Daughter ?… Dog ? An easy decision.
( Just don’t tell my daughter I said that. )
Easier to train.
What would he have gotten if he had asked for a puppy?
Groady. I haven’t heard that expression in 40 years!!
Reverse psychology.
We thought about having another child…….so we got a dog instead. And she is most definitely a daddy’s girl. Listens better than anyone else in the house too.
When I was four, I asked for a sister but got a brother. Got the sister the following year.
