Does anyone here follow Patrick McDonnell's MUTTS comics strips? I subscribe to them

because I don't have a daily newspaper. There is a current cliff-hanger story about Guard Dog--a sweet dog that has been living on a chain for many years. His best friend is a little girl named Doozy who brings him food treats and gives him much love and affection. Moochie (black/white tuxie cat) and Earl (black/white dog) are neighborhood pals who visit him on a regular basis. In the latest chapter, Guard Dog's owner has moved off and left him chained to a stake at the same time that Doozy has been out of town to visit her grandmother. This is a riveting story and many of us who read this on a daily basis are hanging on the edge of a cliff.

Chime in if you read Mutts!

Poor guard dog. He needs a trip to the Fatty Snacks Deli. Yeesh!

Reminded me of Moochie.
The lovable goof had this thing for my socks. He'd sneak my sock drawer open in the middle of the night to get a sock to play with. (As if I didn't give him enough toys in the first place!)
"Oh...little pink shockie!"

and the story line this last few weeks has been very hard to read about guard dog. Your last sentence is so right on.
