The Daily News

If you walk a dog, have ever walked a dog, or even watch your neighbor walk a dog, you get the humor here! We loved this strip and we’re still chuckling about it.

So Nutmeg has her daily read in the neighborhood.

She gets the headlines by just putting her nose up in the air, but for “the rest of the story,” she has to sniff and sniff…and sniff………and sniff.

In our neighborhood, there are a dozen or more “news hounds” who’ve im-“printed” the front-page stories on grass patches, bushes, tree trunks and street signs.

Typically, Nutmeg runs down one side of the street for the editorials, presumably written by the big dogs, and then dashes to the other side of the street to check out the op-eds that run the gamut from liberal (deer scribes) to conservative (skunk talk).

Comics, of course, are inked by the local coyotes.

Every once in a while, there’s a tweet. Or whatever you call “Twitter” for 4 leggeds. Those don’t hold her attention for long. After all, Twitter only allows 140 charact…er, whatever.

Now I understand why she gives me that look (See it? The one in the pup’s eyes in the final panel) when I give the leash a snap. Until now, I was as uninformed as the poor bloke on the wrong end of the rope.
