Lynn's Comments: Our dog, Willy, stayed at a great kennel. The owners often kept the easy-going animals in their house with them, so Willy’s stay was a lot of fun. They had kennels, of course, in their “dogominium,” and their feline guests stayed in the “kitty-condo.” It was quite the comfy place.
Lynn's Comments: I once watched my aunt’s German Shepherd swallow an entire can of dog food in one gulp. To slow him down, I gave him his next meal in tiny chunks. This he also managed to knock back in one gulp. I wondered why the rush…until I took a whiff of the stuff. I wouldn’t have wanted to taste it either!
Lynn's Comments: People swear by chamomile tea. I think it tastes like wet grass that’s been warmed in a sneaker. They say it’s healthy. I wouldn’t know.
Lynn's Comments: Go to YouTube and search for “I’m Five” by Danny Kaye. When I turned five, even though I was a girl, that was my song! Don’t underestimate the memory of a five-year-old. This one has lasted for over 70 years!
Lynn's Comments: At the time this strip was written, our daughter was going to Western University in London, Ontario. Folks in both Western U. and the city of London enjoyed these references in the strip.
Lynn's Comments: Readers criticized April’s “kidspeak” and told me to make her use proper English. I thought it would detract from a child’s charming way of learning the language. As long as my editors were OK with the content of the strip, I left it alone. One can suffer from too much advice!
