Pickles by Brian Crane for July 23, 2023

It doesn’t bother Roscoe any. Just keep scratching Earl.

Yep…the only time it stops is when you have to go to the bathroom…at least in our house…

Beautifully drawn

The same is true for some cats.

Like you’ve got anything better to do.

Roscoe deserves it!

NTTAWWT.

Guess Roscoe really, really wanted the starring role in today’s Pickles…

When you have a dog, you never go to the bathroom alone.

And ain’t it grand!?

They look alike in the last panel.

I know the feeling… my house hold has two dogs and a cat and sometimes even the cat gets in on the loving.

My cats, too.

Where’s cmerb????

Ahhh! That is so sweet – and to read this comic makes me really happy and saved my day! ❤️

But what a great day!

:-)))

Scritching always does it! LOL

Maybe take him for a walk and give him a treat!

Ya think he’d LEARN.

Lovely, lovely toon today!

Roscoe reaps the reward of perseverence.

adorable. My gal-dog, a German Shepherd, loves playing and working with me. But if I go to pet her she looks at me as if to say ," why are you touching me?"

Like giving a mouse a cookie.

What a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Mine won’t even let me shut the bathroom door and is highly offended if company does. (I am not.) Therapy dog work is great for her since she gets tons of pets and scratches and even some treats sometimes. Once we get home, hours later, she wants me to pet her. I really don’t get that, but I do it.

Just like donating to a politician.

which is one of the many reasons I don’t have one

There is nothing better then having a dog to pat and scratch ……………. unless …….. it’s having two or more dogs to pat and scratch …………….. :)

This is a rerun. I have it on my corkboard.

But every time you pet a dog you live one day longer!

Works for cats too!

This reminds me a little of doing dog therapy work. Even Earl looks much happier while he is spending quality time with Roscoe. Win/win.

Ah Roscoe just wants to be shown the love.

All three of our 100+ pound, “Newfies”, insist on following us into the bathroom! And, if ONE…. “Newf”, is getting scratched, then the other two will sit down and await their turn! THANKFULLY….. our Great Pyrenees, who is still a puppy, (but still weighs a trim..93 pounds), hasn’t caught on to this habit so far!??!
