That is strange, I think that saying where you are born is something that you can mention somewhen in a relationship. Especially when it is somewhere extraordinary.
I would rate Fido that he will pay attention to if such things where mentioned - his name isn't Homer.

she was born in far Valetta
in the Mediterranean sea

Her dad was an explorer;
into Africa he implored her
to see what he could see.

The prince she then did meet
and, smitten, she did greet
to show how she could be.

They danced through the night
until the wrong one did dad fight
and was thrown out by decree.

She never told of this, her past,
and hoped the illusion would last...
She only comes up to his knee!

She could have told her story
of all her young, African, glory...
and stop the comeback hitting me!
I always like your poems, but this is great!

Nobody heard about Malta? I nearly cannot believe. I have already been there once.
And in addition: Welcome to the forums. Have fun.

Well, most people I meet online seem to definitely have never heard of it

And I won't be posting much, or even at all, I just had to make one after this

(Used to comment back when comments were on the comic strip tough)

It appears that Fido and Sabrina have matching stroke-faces. But yeah, can't wait to see where this goes

Well, in Fido's defense...when you have a girlfriend with the power and/or spiritual connections to make you not born if she wishes, you probably end up saying "Yes, Dear" a lot and learn not to ask questions.....

I bet Sabrina is gonna hide her new relationship from Jata for as long as she can, then ends up regretting it.

Also, last panel Fido's face of anguish = priceless XD

Hmmmmmm ......... Isn't that little black box on Fido's collar a Walkie talkie....... "Is this thing on?"

Where's Thoth when you need him? He'd speculated something like this had gotten her the Ankh collar.

Also, "kittenhood" is my new favorite word

Hoping for the former.
Better yet, Fido goes in and asks Joey to "make him a cat" and this becomes a "Mrs. Doubtfire"esque arc.

This looks like one of those arcs where if Sabrina really needed a disguisable boyfriend, Max would fit the T... but when you mentioned Mrs. Doubtfire, then I thought ~ If this comic so far was treated like a cartoon comic ~ What if Grape disguised herself as Max (By borrowing his collar) to avoid borrowing him and the whole arc was about Grape hiding her fangirlism infront of Jata? Bonus points if no one could tell the difference with the collar on.

I just read a short story involving time travel set in 1632 where someone tried to pull the Maltese Falcon scam on the actual Knights of Malta.

Wow. I really like how Fido came out in panel 2

I couldn't stop looking at him for five minutes.

(But Bino still looks better than him. He always will :p)

TheOne · Post by **TheOne** » Mon Sep 16, 2013 12:06 pm

Since Sabrina grew up with Jata, I wonder if she didn't realize that he would end up so big. I know many animals start out tiny, regardless of how large they become as adults. (That's why there's such trouble with exotic pets. Yes, that tiger or lion cub is cute and cuddly, but it's going to be a big problem someday...)

I wouldn't go so far as to say that Ralph knows about Fido and Sab's relationship, but he probably wouldn't be too surprised to find out about it, considering how we have no idea who his lady friend is. (If he has one...) For all we know he could be going out with a tertiary cosmic nerd that we've never seen before.

valerio wrote:'Right off the bat'?? Oh yes, as if they'd been together for a week or so. But you are right on one thing: They definitely do not really converse with each other.
Love and respect don't exclude each other! In fact, with one comes the other. Fido has respected Sabrina's privacy (and he's taking risks for her!) and DESERVED to be given a fair amount of information from her! When you love someone, you don't start prying, you expect honesty. She. has. been. honest. NOT!
But as I said before, he's the forgiving kind of dog, I'm sure he won't let this accident kill the best thing of his life. But you can't expect him to trust blindly her from now on.

Well, if you think that way then you surely have no idea how to start a conversation. Besides Rick has said already that she is not the kind of talkative cat so I'm not surprised that she hasn't said anything if Fido didn't brought the subject in advance. He is the man, he's the one supposed to show interest on her! Specially when a girl have this kind of personality.
And when I said "respect" I meant the respect of the other dogs. Of course they respect each other, otherwise I really doubt that they could sustain a relationship if there's no trust between them. Besides, just because she didn't tell him doesn't mean she has been dishonest. She didn't lied to him.
I think this arc is about Fido taking the decision of choose between his love or his reputation. He can't go against social conventions and expect to be loved by everyone after all. Social pressure is so unfair but there's no much you can do against it. It has been constructed over centuries, it's not that easy to go against it and be taken with light heart by the rest of society.

I do believe you mean "break" up. Though you could also word it as "braking their relationship," as in, slamming the brakes of a car. Comes to a complete stop eventually.

All I´m saying is that if in some point of this arc the releationship is revealed and Ralph is like "I already know" I wouldnt be THAT surprised. I know I might be wrong, I mean I know I´m probably wrong (I´ve never been accurate about guessing what is going to happen next in any HP arcs) but it´s a thought I have been thinking ... am I the only one with this feeling ?

I wouldn't be suprised, if EVERONE (except Bino) knows about their relationship, we already know three Persons....ehm...PETS, who know about their sectret. We know Peanut & Grape wanted to keep it as a secret, but maybe King said one or two words to Bailey, the wolves or even Fox (but I think Fox wouldnt mind it, because he respects Fido too much.).

Maybe it was Sabrinas Dad who brought Pete's Temple to Babylon Gardens, what would explain why the Borders were sealed.
Uuuuhhh...maybe this arc will tell us why Sabrina is working together with Taro and Dragon

Someone mentioned it, but yes Sabrina and Fido have the same stroke face
Sabrina's Face and Fido's face, man they are SO adorable

I don't think so. If you read what say the cast page about him then probably it won't be that way.
A little quote of the cast page:

...he still has some lingering issues of his own, including his personal aggravation with cat-lovers.

Well, perhaps Sgt. Ralph is a little suspicious, but as I recall, he's not the brightest LED on the string, either. Not as thick as Kevin, of course, but he's no Fido, either. Just sharp enough to be a bit of problem.
