Red and Rover by Brian Basset for March 24, 2020

Those neighborhood squirrels have been noted to cause body aches by the FDA.

Oh no! Poor baby!

Poor Rover! See what that squirrel made him do?!

I feel your pain, Rover.

That wood give you a headache.

Some of oaks in our new yard lean a bit and Honey has been able to get 4-5 feet off the ground chasing a squirrel.

Oh, Rover!!!! You must be careful!

The college of hard knocks strikes again…..ouch!

Yeah, that will do it!

At least Rover’s pain has an obvious cause.

Now that’s a REAL headache! Take care and have fun, my little darlings!

My golden retriever preferred to watch squirrels rather than chase them, but, if my mom insisted, she’d give a half-hearted bark and chase them to the woods. One day, she almost caught up to one and did a tumble as she put on her brakes to avoid it.

I always wondered why my last Lab didn’t have more “neck aches.” He’d spot a squirrel and forget he was on a tether and run to the end of the cord at full gallop until he was yanked to a stop. (Don’t worry, he was never harmed).

I want to sleep in sheets covered with the darling squirrels

Stay at home good, Rover!!

The Excedrin headache commercial that didn’t quite pass.

I needed a good laugh.
