Red and Rover by Brian Basset for February 22, 2020

But there is a political pollster trapped up there!

Good idea, Rover…you just know those pesky squirrels are lurking!

Red thinks Rover is literally barking up the wrong tree.

Can’t say I blame him.

We have many white oaks and there are almost always a squirrel or five in the yard. Drives the dogs nuts.

Nothing wrong with practice

SEMPER PREPARATVS

How can you be sure until you’ve barked at it?

I love Basset’s accurate attention to detail when he draws Rover. Like the way he curls his right front paw back so his pads are visible.

A dog needs to keep in shape for that chance encounter….

I thought I caught a scent of squirrel.

Labs have incredible memories. They know where the found a squirrel, bird, egg, nest, or even discarded edible food. We once has some chicken bones get out of a trash bag sitting by the curb (thanks to some raccoons). Our boy found them and everyday for the rest of his life would stop there an sniff…

I think that tree is a bit too steep for you, Rover!
