Citizen Dog by Mark O'Hare for December 12, 2012

If this one doesn’t make y’all smile, nothing will. tic tac tic tic!

Count on Cuddles to muddles things up.

Good Morning, cleo, sugar, Fellow Baby & the rest of the CD gang!

Fellow Baby, I guess you missed my Crapgame reference yesterday. Chip didn’t.

And that is how the market works, in a nutshell.

Good morning Fellow Baby, cleo and sugie!

Howdy chefwen and Rugeirn D……

Yes, Fellow Baby that comment did go over my head. Sorry I missed it.

A quick good morning.Shopping day. Four hours away from the house.Yippie…What will i do with it all…

Did you sleep in this morning, StelBel?

Good morning, CDers!

@ nighthawks

I just saw your latest installment of Retired And Lovin’ It and it looks like another winner! I love Cleo! Makes me wonder what Max would be saying to me (or maybe it’s better not to know…)!

RIP Ravi Shankar.

Fergus’s expression “get rid of that dog” is so funny when he is referring to “cat” food. Cuddles is the perfect one to scoop it up.

Good morning to all to all the Citizens of Dog holding CD stock.

BTW, thanks thanks thanks!y’all are too kind; I just love pretending to be a cartoonist

Good Morning Grog, Dry, Cleo, StelBel, happyathome & all CDers out there.

happy, that’s a lot of kibble for such a little kitty! No wonder he fell asleep!

Love that pig, Stel, but not the countdown shopping days to Christmas! I can get that from Allan over at OB! LOL!

I am already having my annual Chirstmas nightmare, Stel. It doesn’t need a reminder!

Lunch break time, bbl! Maybe I’ll do some quick shopping! SNERK!

Good afternoon CDers. My little ode to the season:A VISIT TO THE MALL(With apologies to Clement Moore)‘Twas two weeks before Christmas and all ’round the mall,Six million cars were parked wall to wall.For what seemed like hours I drove round and roundUntil at last a parking space I found.I sat and I waited with blinker light blinking,While all around me bright lights were winking.Then, out of nowhere there came an encroacher,The horrible, infamous parking space poacher!He swung right around me as if I weren’t thereAnd pulled into the space with nary a care.He stepped out of his car with a wave and a grinLeaving me to continue a quest without end.I finally made it to the hustle and bustle,But the stores were so crowded I couldn’t move a muscle.I paused for a moment to pull out my listIt was all written down so none would be missed.To toy store, to bookstore and sporting goods, too.Buy cookies and candies and clothing so new.See reindeer and elves and good old Saint Nick,See parents and children, they all run so quick!The charges are mounting, like drifts in the snow,My list seems quite endless. Where does it all go?Now the presents are bought, but the battle’s not won,The search for a perfect tree has begun.That tree is too short, this one’s too tall,Another has no middle branches at all.When the tree’s been selected and I lug it on home,I realize it’s shaped like a humpbacked old gnome.When the lights are all lit and the popcorn is strungAnd all the ornaments and stockings are hung,I sit in the glow of the twinkling lightThinking back on a long ago, far away night.I think of the child who was born long agoAnd I’m thankful for cards and lights and snow.Then, I realize Santa probably was rightSo, “Merry Christmas to all and to all a Good Night.”

Very good Saucy! Is that Saucy’s Christmas sock? He/she looks quite busy digging for goodies!

Now this is odd. My work computer did not have the “type your comment here” in the comment box. Never even thought about until I come home here, get on laptop and there it is again!

I just did a test. It must be a Mozilla Firefox thing. It’s not on my IE.

Same here, Fellow Baby. I think I first noticed it last night though.

Nothing here.

I.E., and Bing.

Aw, Cuddles. You should ought not have done that!

Good Evening CDers.

The “type your comment here” shows up on Google Chrome.

Funny, I never saw it before the last couple of days.

Good night, everyone!

Night lady.

Good Night Citizens of Dogs and Purina traders.I’m logging off early to do my Christmas cards and get to bed early.

Good night, StelBel

#48,860.

I’m sorry you are house-bound happy. It can’t be easy. Walking by the ocean is so peaceful.

StelBel, we just don’t have our clocks in sync. Have a good sleep.

Good Night Grog.Good Night happy.Good Night *Dry, cleo, sugie, Saucy, nighthawks and everyone else here today.

Sweet Dreams!

Good Night, Shika

I don’t think I’m as chatty as I used to be….and I also don’t comment on as many strips as I used to either. Just not enough time for that these days.

Hey there kids. I just noticed the instructions yesterday. I thought it was something new..nighthawks I do believe you have surpassed the pretending phase and have entered the cartoonist period in your life. :-).Love the poem Saucy.

Im going to put mom to bed now.Back in a bit.

I’m going to put myself to bed now. Back in the wee hours of the morning.

@Santa GROG!Night dude.@cleokaya (THE FLASH)I was not aware that he was N.J.s pop.I like her work.

I was amazed that he was Norah Jones father! But I can see the talent there, so I believe it!

Is anyone else watching the live concert on YouTube with The Who, Stones, Clapton for Sandy relief?

Hi Jkiss and happy!

Goodnight Fellow Baby! Rest well!

I’m at 47,000 PLUS! And goodnight!

Hello and good night Dry & Grog.Hi happy Did you enjoy your errands and time off today? I know sometime they can seem mundane, but a change of scenery is a change of scenery……maybe?

I am done now, seriously!

This makes 3632 so I guess I’m just a babe in these here comic woods.:-D

BTW happy could you repost that link to the great classical site you put up a while back. I think they were from your neck of the woods. I lost some info a while back when I got hijacked and that link was also lost. Thanks!

http://www.allclassical.org/

That is its address and a link.

Good night people and pets.

Have you ever had a day when you feel like no matter how fast you run, that brass ring just gets farther and farther away? Well it’s been a day and a half and we just found out we have mice. We had a leak over the summer in the AC drip line. It happened to be in the garage section of the basement and we had to cut away some drywall. Well as things tend to go around here the leak got fixed but the drywall never got repaired. The house had been smelling like gasoline and I had been opening the garage doors to air it out. I recently taped trash bags over the holes but I guess I was too late. It is now 11:13 and I’m trying desperately to resist the urge to throw everything in the house outside and scrub the place from top to bottom. I guess I will have to settle for cleaning up the kitchen and going to bed. Tomorrow is another day……right?Thanks again for that link happy I have a feeling it will help.

Ok I feel a little better now with the kitchen all shiny and clean. I even finished my comics. Yay me..cleo I know I’m in for a long hard haul. They are in the insulation between the basement and main floor. Bold little bugger came out with the kitchen light on and us sitting right there. I almost felt sorry for the terrified thing when we were trying to trap it but I know if I’ve seen one…………ewwwww. I don’t live well with unwelcome disease carring pests.
