AND, you frogot to say you have a great sister-in-law, who can’t wait to meet Frodo the celeb in person (or in dog?)! Great job on the site, Gord. It’s great!
Great works and cartoons Gord, really enjoy reading them. Lynda
So proud of you Gord! Great job sharing the gift of laughter!
Hi Gordon, your cartoons made me smile as I had 20 years ago a sheltie named Frodo and I also made cartoons of him to our breed magazine. Not quite as professional as yours, but he just gave me inspirations about his shows, agility, obedience etc. and I had great fun making them 🙂

Hi Hilppa,
thank you so much for sharing your story with me. It’s nice to meet someone who can identify the feeling and experience we have in creating stories about the dogs in our life. I hope you continue to follow and laugh along with my strip. And to know that it’s touching some special memories of your Frodo, well I can’t express enough what that means to me. Thank you. Gord
Thank you for your reply, I will definitely follow the strips as I am one of the editors in GSM.

P.S. My Frodo was tricolour 🙂 Still quite a coincidence huh?
😀
Your Frodo is like my Duke…. who now has to adjust to a new whippersnapper on the scene. Hating the vacuum cleaner, playing fetch, begging for belly scratches, you summed it all up! I shared your link with our sheltie rescue group here in Wisconsin, USA along with my friends on Facebook.
How wonderful! Thank you so much Karen. Big hugs for Duke! Sincerely Gord
How can I contact the author. Preferably email?
