Cuteness Overload: Unleashing the Hilarious Adventures of Dog Eat Doug Comic Strip
Navigating the world of parenting while tending to your furry friend can sometimes feel like a juggling act. I thought I had it down until one day, a fox darted out of the woods straight at the stroller. Just an innocent mistake on the fox’s part, however, Sophie didn’t see it that way. In less than a second she transformed into a mama bear and exploded after the distraught fox.
That was the moment I was thankful I never thought of attaching the leash to the stroller. My son would’ve gone on the ride of a lifetime.
Here are three tips that will help you master the art of walking your dog while pushing a baby stroller. So let's leash up, buckle in, and embark on this hilarious adventure together!
1. Strut Your Stuff with a Double-Duty Leash
Walking your dog while pushing a stroller requires some serious multitasking skills. Say hello to your new best friend: the double-duty leash! This pawsome invention allows you to keep your hands free while giving your pup the freedom to explore. Attach one end of the leash to your dog's collar and the other to your waist, and voila! You're now a professional dog-walker-stroller-pusher extraordinaire. They make some that attach to the stroller, but after my little story above, you can see why I don’t recommend it.
2. Timing is Everything
Babies and dogs have different energy levels and attention spans. To avoid a tug-of-war situation (literally!), try syncing up their exercise and nap times. Take advantage of those precious moments when your little one is napping soundly in the stroller to give your furry friend the undivided attention they deserve. Trust us, a well-exercised dog is a happy dog, and a happy dog means a happier stroll for everyone involved.
3. Treats and Distractions, Oh My!
Let's face it, walking with a stroller can be quite the sensory overload for your four-legged pal. To keep them entertained and focused, pack some doggy treats and their favorite toys. Use these goodies strategically, rewarding your pup for good behavior and redirecting their attention away from squirrels, pigeons, and other fascinating distractions. Who knew that dog treats could double as doggy diplomacy tools?
Walking your dog while pushing a baby stroller might seem like a challenge worthy of an Olympic event, but with a dash of creativity and a whole lot of humor, you can transform it into a memorable adventure. Embrace the chaos, enjoy the precious bonding moments with both your fur baby and human baby, and don't forget to cherish the little things along the way. Happy strolling, super parents!
Remember, the key to success lies in finding a balance that works for you, your dog, and your baby. These tips are meant to be a lighthearted guide, so feel free to adapt and improvise based on your unique situation. Now, get out there and conquer the sidewalks like the dog-walking, stroller-pushing superstars you are!
Dog Training Funny Dogs
This is honestly what I imagined was going through Sophie’s head when I was training her. She eneded up learning “stay” by playing hid eand go seek. She would “stay” while I hid one of her toys and then she’d go find it. But she knew if she didn’t stay put I couldn’t hide the toy and she couldn’t play the game. Then I thought I could teach more advanced commands if she liked playing Monopoly.

Free Funny Dog Comics: 5 Simple Tips for Crate Training Your Dog
We never crate trained any of our dogs or fosters. We did have crates out, mostly for dogs that wanted a comfy, safe place to chill. We use customizable pens. They come in super handy for keeping dogs separated or keeping certain parts of the house off limits.
Of course we have an advantage in that we work from home so we didn’t have a need to crate train. And crate training can be a good foundation for more advanced training and also helping anxious dogs feel more comfortable. A pack structure fixes a lot of dog behavior issues.
In case you are planning on adding a dog to the family and plan on crate training, here are some simple tips that may help:
Cover the crate with a blanket to make it more den-like and comfortable.
Put the crate in a quiet area of the house where your dog won't be disturbed.
Start by letting your dog stay in the crate for short periods of time, such as 15 minutes. Gradually increase the amount of time your dog spends in the crate each day.
If your dog starts to whine or bark, don't let them out of the crate right away. Wait until they are quiet before letting them out.
If your dog has an accident in the crate, don't punish them. Just clean it up and try again later.

Free Comics
It’s amazing to stop and think about how many free comics there are online. We’re kind of spoiled. But that goes with the cartooning territory. I’m very fortunate to make a living drawing comics. The weird thing is, is that even before I was making a living drawing comics, or even if I wasn’t, I’d still make comics.
Case in point, this Primordial Syrup thing I’ve been doing. It started the same way all my comics did. I had to do it. Same with “Dog eat Doug”. I had to make it. This is true for most cartoonists. We’re constantly making cartoons. Now obviously, there is that part of your brain that says “hey, doofus, what if you turned this into a living?”, which is of course, the same part of your brain that over-complicates everything.
Thank goodness that part of gray matter exists. Of course it does make on heckuva bumpy ride when you do try and make cartooning a living. Which is why it’s important to separate that part from the creating part every now and then. Once you do start making a living, it can become all consuming. You get a tincy-wincy check from a magazine for a comic and bammo, that capitalist part of your brain goes into overdrive.
However, you have to treat it like a Tesla sometimes. Let the AI drive for a while and get back to making comics for the sake of making comics. When the syndication offer came in for Dog eat Doug, understandably, that became my entire world. Every other project, and even my daily doodles, got shoved into the back of the closet behind the five year old New Balance running shoes (which till this day I don’t know why I kept them).
This ultimately hurts the very thing you are so focused on improving. I learned the hard way that it was the seemingly superficial, waste of time things like doodling, or working on random ideas for comics and books, that keep that main project fresh. That crazy stream of consciousness, where bills don;t exist, is the very thing that helps sharpen the ideas you are trying to create.
Hence the reason I no longer scold myself for mindlessly doodling for an hour or two, or starting a single panel comic like “Primordial Syrup” for no logical reason other than to get the ideas out of that stream an onto paper. Or creating the Conjurers webcomic while trying to write and illustrate three books. Logically, it’s not a smart thing to do. In the long run, it’s the very thing that keeps your creative engine charged. Sometimes you have to let the crazy out.
Funny Comics - The Addams and Far Side Effect
Another new Primordial Syrup comic. I’m going to try and post a new every Monday. Once a week should be manageable. I have a ton written. The art can take some time, especially when the style is developing. You can probably tell two of my biggest influences were Charles Addams and Gary Larson.
Addams, aside from creating the “Addams Family”, generated some of the best and weirdest single panel comics at a time when weird wasn’t exactly mainstream. My dad had a hardcover collection of New Yorker comics. I was six or seven when I stumbled upon it. I loved any book filled with cartoons, however, most of them, aside from the art, didn’t intrigue me. They were dated, although I wasn’t aware at the time that that was the reason. However, every so many pages would be a single panel that stood out. Kind of like “One of these things doesn’t belong” on Sesame Street.
On those particular comics, I noted the signature, “Addams”, and scoured the book for more. From that moment on Charles Addams was my Odin of cartooning. “The Far Side” came along a bit later, but had a similar effect. When most of your thoughts and ideas are strange, a bit dark and off kilter, or fall into the “I don’t get it” category, seeing the works of Addams and Larson were a beacon in a field that can sometimes drag you down a conventional path just to make a living.
That said, Primordial Syrup has no endgame. They are simply the ideas that make me laugh. They are the cartoons that, if I opened up a hardcover collection of comics, would be the ones I would read.
