This is the first of a trilogy. Barbara pointed out that I had yet to draw a cartoon of our newest dog, Esme, and since I had been planning on doing a cartoon of Argus, why not do all three? So... Part the First:
This pretty much sums up Argus, our oldest dog (about 10 years old). When I got her from Animal Aid, the paperwork described her as Rottwieller/Shepherd mix (possibly because they have to put down SOMETHING, but she looks like what that might look like so we go with that).
All groups of canines will have an alpha member. Argus is certainly not alpha. She is undeniably the omega member of the pack--never mind there are 22 letters between alpha and omega and there are only three members of the local pack. She would be omega in ANY group of animals--which is why we don't have any goldfish or hermit crabs; it would just be too embarrassing to watch.
