Overboard by Chip Dunham for March 02, 2020

Henry’s so cute when he thinks he’s in control of anything.

Hmm… two things:

1: Where does Louie find mud on a ship? Labs are mud magnets, but getting muddy on a ship takes talent.

2: it’s a ship. There shouldn’t be rectangular windows, the corners are points of weakness which cause cracks in the structure, requiring lots of upkeep or your ship breaks up when the cracks intersect. (The first jet airliner, the de Havilland Comet, suffered several spectacular crashes due. to cracks from the corners of its square windows intersecting each other and the aircraft broke up in mid-air.) If you look at a modern cruise ship you’ll see that all the windows and galleries have rounded corners or are oval or circular. Major warships in the age of sail might have a stern gallery right aft of the captain’s cabin, but the window panes would be small and fixed, with thick looms. There would be large, glassed, doors, but they’d be doors and lockable. (HMS. Victory, flagship of the Royal Navy’s 1st Sea Lord, is the oldest warship still in service. She’s preserved in a dry dock in Portsmouth, England, just as she was when she was Lord Nelson’s flagship at Trafalgar, except that her guns are fibreglass replicas, not real 32-pounders and 68-pounders. USS Constitution is the oldest warship still afloat; she’s currently in Boston. Her guns are the real things. Both Victory and Constitution have extensive stern galleries and are worth a visit.)

Henry hasn’t checked the score lately. He’s so far behind in this game it’s going to be a blowout!

Louie is a mighty smart pup!

I love the little smile on Louie’s face!! Tee hee hee!!

“He’s your dog, Charlie Brown!”

It’s just a comic strip, besides, a bit much on the comments eh?

We enter Overboard World and then must go out and face reality………Overboard starts us out to do that.

Good morning Crew!

Louie is on to Henry’s tricks.

Louie and that bed are meant for each other, mud or no mud…

Thanks for all the info, BUT IT’S A COMIC STRIP

Our first Border Collie gave us a lesson in BC smarts right quick. He stayed in the back hall when we were gone, a room with a door with a smooth round handle. He figured out in no time how to open that, so we put a hook-and-eye on the door. No problem and he was back in the house in no time. He finally gave up when the hook had a spring closure on it.

Louie knows that Henry can’t sleep without him. Good evening, Crew!

Well, then. On to “Bedding Plan B”, I suppose.

Good Evening, Crew.
