The snark stand-down remains in effect today. Clearly, “Mitch” isn’t an Olympic contender, but is showing a sense of humor (of all things!) in the face of physical and emotional trauma. You go, Mitch! Note to Wally: maybe next trip, instead of bringing your dog? Bring along your ex-wife/”widow” Becky, so she can see that using a prosthetic is not a sign of weakness.
Gym Buddy
Today we meet Buddy’s friends down at the VA. It’s kind of hard to snark on this scene, given our deep respect for our wounded warriors…but I will allow myself a teeny chuckle at that clumsily-rendered prosthetic arm with its itty-bitty little fist.
Road Trip!
Buddy dons his trademark vest, and he and his master hop into Wally’s clown car. Next stop: the VA clinic in Akron!
Some Buddy Loves You
The tongue lashing continues. “He’s trying to tell us something! What is it, boy?” Stay tuned.
Waking Wally
A tip of the SoSF beret to davidorth for his stellar guest-blogging while I was on vacation! –TFH
Buddy the Wonder Dog certainly has brought about a change in Wally: it wasn’t very long ago that anyone foolhardy enough to playfully waken a sleeping Sgt. Winkerbean risked being sprayed with hot lead!
