Annoyed today. Went for Sunday family dinner at mom and dad’s like usual, and like usual the puppy had a great time running around the pool and barking at the kids, and jumping in to swim, getting out, barking, repeat for an hour. They all have a blast and everyone sleeps well after. Except tonight when a neighbour complained about the barking. She’s 14 months and has a lot of energy…so I guess I have to leave her at home now? Or lock her in the house when we’re outside? Not fair to her at all :( Anti-bark collars probably can’t be used in a pool…Ugh. I’m kind of mad about this. It’s not like we do it late at night and all day every day, it’s once a week in the late afternoon.
How about some happy feelings instead? Gay celebrating from last month. (Would anyone want this on a shirt? I can set it up)

I would definently appericate Gay was on a shirt ^_^

I used to hide it away, Prozac… But for better or worse, I stopped doing that long ago~
Cara, you are truly one of the best characters in BN.. You have a way with words much like myself~
“Ask Lech”? . . . That is the WORST idea I have ever heard! Screw him, Prozac. You don’t need his approval~
July 6th, 2020 at 12:11 am
So Lech is the alpha! Strange to think about that, I always saw Prozac as the alpha.
Also, I would personally love that Gay Bear on a shirt!
July 6th, 2020 at 12:12 am
i would buy that on a shirt
also, i love your stuff buddy
July 6th, 2020 at 12:30 am
Funny how Lech is alpha again when he’s nowhere in sight.
July 6th, 2020 at 12:45 am
Prozac is just so tired, i can relate because quarantine and the state of the world is leaving us all tired.
Also Pro admitting that Lech is the alpha…that either shows immense trust in lech,
or just shows exactly how tired prozac is from having to be the Dad friend of the bears.
Prozac deserves a long break from being the reluctant leader of the bears.

Lech? The alpha?? *head explodes* Well, this should be interesting. :D
Sorry about the pupper. Neighbors can be so annoying. You guys shouldn’t have to change anything. I suppose that could be the neighbor’s Sunday afternoon nap time. Maybe every other Sunday, pup could play in the pool? Like a compromise?
July 6th, 2020 at 2:11 am
‘Lech is the alpha’…? *slow, confused headtilt* well, that’s a piece of info I really wasn’t expecting. *Huh*.
July 6th, 2020 at 3:51 am
Do I smell a rescue plan in progress/
Please tell me I’m right!
July 6th, 2020 at 5:53 am
Like others, I always viewed Prozac as the alpha. Very surprised at this.
July 6th, 2020 at 9:36 am
Since when was Lech the alpha?
Its always been Prozac, Death, Gimp, Evil, then everyone else.
July 6th, 2020 at 1:55 pm
on last panel, why both of em look like maniacally happy when porzac says “just ask him” ?
July 6th, 2020 at 2:43 pm
D: I thought Prozac was the alpha this whole time …
(Also, your neighbour is a douchebag. How selfish and entitled they are.)
July 6th, 2020 at 5:23 pm
Is there some way you can explain to the neighbor that she’s a puppy, and puppies need to bark? I mean, what’s next, is he going to complain about the kids being kids so you have to lock *them* inside, too?
Dogs rarely bark for ‘no reason’. Just because we can’t understand what they’re saying doesn’t mean they’re making noise for the sake of making noise. In this case, she’s barking because she was excited and having fun. Much like any kid, she was laughing and yelling and generally conveying that ‘woohoo this is great look what I can do!’.
Also I would advise against the use of anti-bark collars; I know they can be used safely (physical like) but the emotional repercussions for the poor pupper can be really bad. Like all ‘punishment’ based training, this can lead to anxiety issues, depression issues, and even in some cases aggression because of perceived consequences.
And yes, since they’re electronic, they should not be used in a situation where the puppy may be getting wet a lot. That can cause malfunctions, or even painful shorts.

Would you donate proceeds of the shirt for BLM, or is that just some addon for more sales?
July 6th, 2020 at 8:02 pm
@Bri I thought that too honsetly with how he’s breaking up fights like a leader does.
also Alison’s neighbor is the classic Karen that probably has a mom facebook group,
they also probably talk with the community executive to complain about others. such entitled privledge. :V

you should consult a dog trainer regarding the dog barking – 14 months is old enough for obedience school. if you go by all those dog training shows in NG and Animal Planet, she is too excited and needs to calm down before being allowed to run around…
July 7th, 2020 at 1:42 am
WOW! did not see that coming.. Lech is the alpha? I also always assumed Prozac was the leader of the group! :)
July 7th, 2020 at 6:34 am
I wonder what Lech would say, though I don’t think it’ll be anything compassionate or thoughtful. Or maybe I’m underestimating him. Nah
July 7th, 2020 at 1:34 pm
Prozac is listed as the Leader in the Bios section. Is this a hint at an Alpha Showdown some time soon?
July 8th, 2020 at 1:45 am
K k wait. So I’ve actually never even thought about the alpha thing until now, I just saw Prozac as the leader and that was it. But if Lech is the alpha, what are the roles of all the other characters?
July 8th, 2020 at 3:51 am
I wonder if there is a difference in the group between being the alpha and being the leader. That said, this might be a situation for less talk and more action. I’m just glad it’s not my decision!
@Scrib: The Pride design with Gay and his BLM armband was posted originally as a celebration of Pride month on the Bear Nuts facebook page. Alison has previously blogged about her support of BLM. It’s not a money-grab. It’s just a thoughtful Pride design.

I kinda feel like he’s trying to “give” lech the alpha title… maybe. Because Prozac’s such a nice bear, and he knows Lech wants the title and it would make him happy.
