Good news from the Pet section of People Magazine: a woman (who works with non-verbal children) designed a “communication board” and has taught her dog 20- plus words. Sometimes she asks the dog what it wants and other times the dog selects the corresponding button to express herself. Fascinating reading! The point being, this interaction between dogs and their humans could work into some interesting arcs with Marm.
It’s a comic, but dogs can’t sweat through their skin like we do to cool off. Dogs do sweat through their paw pads, but it’s by panting that dogs circulate the necessary air through their bodies to cool down. So it’s wrong to forcibly keep a dog from being able to pant.

It pains me to see Marm like this.

At first I thought maybe he had a bad encounter with some wasps until I read the joke.

I thought Marm was at the Dentist until the by-line was read ;-)

Was it really necessary to tie Marm’s mouth shut like that?

No, he finally met someone that wouldn’t take his crap and backhanded him.

EEK! A flashback to my 3-girl’s reactions to my suggestions to keep our dogs from eating rabbit poop by muzzling them.

They just wanted a baritone, not a bass.
