Hlaoroo made the same point. Unless Rick is setting up a dramatic plot point, which would be jerkish, I guess we can assume that HP! dogs are able to handle it.

Considering it is a plot point in the strip that chocolate is harmful to dogs, it's understandable. But she's the one ordering it, so mother knows best, I guess.

See what I did there? ;3

That kind of carp is what ruined the webcomic Ctrl-Alt-Del.

I believe the book's title was a foreshadowing of this.

Also, King congrats. You are going to be the first pet father in the series.

Their names shall be: Radial, Robin, and Zoro.

OK, worst, WORST case is that two of the corgskies will be the reincarnations of Dragon and Pete. But methinks that not even the heavens would inflict that to King and Bailey.

Gotta love how ya only see Peanut in the corner there. Who's he with? Instinct/Common Sense points to Tarot but the decision to leave her out?....feels...like...GrapeNut pandering....lol....What do you guys think?

Congrats Bailey!

King?...ehhhh i'll congrat ya later lol

I can't get over how adorable King and Bailey are together. x3

She really should have gotten real corn dogs though. Protein is important!

So is that Grape just off-panel? Is there a tiny hint of purple reflection on Peanut's fur? Will shippers ever be satisfied?

Taking bets on how many pages of comments this one's gonna end up with. I say 4 before Wed.

Corn dogs? That pun is far too overused.

I had the exact same reaction as King

It's kinda weird, though, considering he used to be human.

Whoa! Be careful on what you say, Bailey!

But it's a great news, shocking also for us, King!

Let's go in order...

And the night came out on the fair, with a nice fireworks show.

This couple is too much adorable, but it's going to be a more adorable family with three puppies!

It came the hunger, too, good idea eat something, but that food sounds to heavy for the night... Well, not for Bailey, she has to eat for more, indeed.

She could be another challenger to the eating contest, but probably it now started, or even already ended.

Beautiful first panel.

The two Bigglesworth are so cute.

I hope Peanut has someone on his right side, Tarot or Grape.

Well seven years of this awesome comic, congratulations!

Congratulations dryideabat. Your comic is now the standard of how we'll judge what the puppies look like.

I just realized that Miles brood and Miles, TOD and Daryl are probably triplets.

Surely she's talking about this guest comic.

Hopefully the puppies won't look that way.

You couldn't stop thinking about it could you?

King wrote:Nor do you have to continually think how cute a litter of stubby-legged husky puppies would be no stop thinking about it

And I'm not exactly looking at King

Also, wow, I can't believe it's been seven years already. It seems just yesterday that we started. We've come a long way. My congratulations, Rick. Your work has been a daily uplifter and encourager for me in many a hard time in my life now. Thank you.

I assume no matter how much she loves King she wouldn't have agreed to be Pete's avatar had she been in a delicate condition at the time...however there WAS that romantic boat trip home....

Queen, Jack, and Joker

The names could be Tim, Jim and Kim! Or Tim, Tom and Tam! Or Tim... just use Tim!

I want to know what they'll look like and what they will be named. They better not be ugly names.

And I'm sure all of the day's out-of-control thrill rides are completely within safety limits for an expecting canine mother as well.

Argent wrote:No, that was just Rick teasing us (and King) as first seen in this strip:
https://www.housepetscomic.com/comics/2014-03-10-bedtime-snack.png
And of course by teasing us about it for so long, he's made sure it would be a surprise when it wasn't a tease.

Was it the general consensus that King was fleeing the room from fear of the idea of pregnancy, or upset stomach at the idea of a pickle and cherry milkshake? I always assumed the latter.

What is this association between pickles and pregnancy anyway?

Wow King still has the luck that every year will somehow end with him

I can't believe it's been already a year, but I'm really happy finding this master piece. It really lifted my mood several times, when I needed it

I hope it doesn't get annoying if I aks this too, but how does Bailey know she is getting three puppies?
My only guess is that a husky littler is at least three pups, but I thought it would be around 4-5

Anyway I'm already looking forward to this

I have a theory that since animals are a bit different in this world, they don't give birth too as much as they would in our world(which is usualy[at least where I'm from] 4-6), but instead the average is more around 3. Maybe it isn't actually 3, it's just the average. Like how a mother says she's "eating for two now" even though she might be having twins, she just doesn't know at the early time and is going with the average.

I know King was originally a human, who after a long time finally got to choose his final form. I guess that is why he cannot tell by scent changes. He did beat Bino in the wolf test though...

Maybe he is just that unobservant?

Someone REALLY needs to teach King how to sniff tails!..
But then the Great Kitsune did tell him, he would be taking the path of un-expectedness.

gamepopper wrote:I just realised we are forgetting that these questions are still unanswered, in light of this recent news:

Who is going to get the puppies?
King did mess up the pets getting equal rights to the humans, so there still owned beings.
Is the wolf house big enough to hold 3 more puppies?
I'm assuming that since Keene is acting as King's owner, There not going to have to worry about finding the money to care for the puppies.
Are King and bailey going to be expected to give/sell their puppies off, like would happen normally with pets?
Or form a "Wolf Pack" type family group.

The great Kitsune needs his own arc. The word Corn appears twice in this strip, it must be a premonition for a contest to come. I do love how detailed this strip is, even the shop keepers hand is detailed,

No, seriously, Bailey and King have feathers. They're honorary wolves. The pups gotta choose their own names.
