Red and Rover by Brian Basset for May 24, 2019

… and why only lollipops and no milky bones are given after the haircut

Is Rover getting a little hair trim also?

That’s a pretty good question.

Dogs aren’t their target audience. Also, did Red need another haircut? How fast does his hair grow?

Mom ALWAYS thought I needed a hair cut. Even when I just got back. “Butch” and “Crew Cut” were the style for boys in those days, but not for me. Nope!

I had a flat top haircut with hair on sides long so I could comb it backwards.

Why is Rover waiting outside instead of safely inside the shop? It’s canine discrimination, I say!

“Dog Life” is a magazine I think.

But he would also be interested if you would carry a copy of “101 Uses for a Dead Cat.”

I’m a little worried about how distracted the barber looks with the clippers in his hands… Red might have a bit a mite shorter than intended.

I remember when barbershops carried “specialty” magazines, but Red isn’t old enough to read them, or tall enough to reach the top shelf where they were kept.

How about “Barker’s Bazaar”?

Rover only reads scratch and sniff.
