Mungo needs some practice on his petting.

Welsh Halfwit · Post by **Welsh Halfwit** » Fri May 18, 2018 12:09 am

Finally he can confide in someone;
his thoughts, his feelings and fears.
Finally he can talk to someone
who’ll scritch him behind the ears.
Of course this will pull his skin back
hauled in a pattern resembling furrows.
Of course this means there’s a danger
in telling his friend all his sorrows.
But still he has someone now,
someone who will believe his tale.
But still Fox can talk to Mungo
who’ll have his side without fail.

Mungo remind me of Baymax in this one <3

I don't know why I find this so funny!

It's either Fox's face or the fact that Mungo is trying so hard!
I may or may not ship them... just a little

I've found that trying too hard rarely yields results. Sometimes just being there to listen is help enough.

Pets petting other pets! What has the world come to!?
But seriously, as someone (who I can't be bothered to look up) once said: "better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at all". And Fox has the bonus that his love isn't completely lost; they'll be back again "real soon".

Careful Mungo, ya might take his whole head with the next pet

Bits like this are why I love Mungo.

Question being, what does "real soon" mean to an immortal being?

Like the old joke:
The man said to God, "What's a million years to you?" and God answered back "It is a second." The man said to God "What's a million dollars to you?" and God answered back "It is but a penny." The man said to God "Will you give me a penny?" and God answered back. "Yes I will, in a second."

About her meaning of "real soon", probably just an incarnation or an interstellar battle against the cosmic deities (again).

Well ... one can hope .... not THAT soon. Mungo, you really are a gem.

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Fri May 18, 2018 8:08 am

for a minute there, i thought Mungo was squeezing Fox's brain. x3

Peeeeeeet

Cody · Post by **Cody** » Fri May 18, 2018 10:02 am

These two are so cute together X3 Maybe Mungo could set you up with someone, or if all else fails and you get no luck with the girls, perhaps you could reconsider your orientation, Fox~

That last panel looks like it must hurt >.< Though it's a warm and very cute welcome to see some more "real life pet stuff" (like whenever they do actions that happens to pets/animals irl and not just human traits)

Vanice · Post by **Vanice** » Fri May 18, 2018 10:42 am

I'm probably late for just noticing this now but where did the pink and green buttons on Fox's bandanna go?

Those were gifts from the Heavenlies so he'd remember them after he left Heaven (I believe)

He HARDLY needs such a thing now, eh?

Vanice · Post by **Vanice** » Fri May 18, 2018 10:51 am

I suppose so.
Also Mungo you broke a door open by pinching it. Grabbing someone's head is not the best idea.

Aww, poor buff Fox, but hold on, your solitude won't last for long time.

Eheheh, Mungo is really cute!

He's always trying to help, maybe in the wrong way, but he does what he can.

It's good that he can offer both ways of pet therapy.

But, yeah, now it's enough. Mungo, stop petting him! Fox isn't looking good with such widely open eyes...

I agree! Although his methodologies are often wacky and intense, Mungo never cease to lighten up the situation. Well, mostly for us. Fox's eyelids are pulled back at a very unnatural angle

Well, at least Fox's skull isn't exposed.

I must disagree; I love a good scalp massage. In fact, it's one of the very few types of massages I don't dislike.

I wonder if Rick's ever gonna tackle the question of how Mungo got his superhero-like strength. x)

Soerix · Post by **Soerix** » Tue May 22, 2018 4:55 am

I also love the fact that Mungo has kept in touch with Fox after the Sasha case ^^

But thinking about it, one unsettled thing bothers me: Fox's relationship with Fido.
I know Fox apologized to Sabrina and said he does not hate them, but it would come full circle if Fido was Fox's new K-9 partner announced by Ralph.
That way, the two childhood friends could both mutually apologize to each other: Fido for not telling Fox about his relationship with Sabrina (even though Fox told King he doesn't really blame Fido for it) and Fox for keeping away from him.
I mean, it's been 5 years! Just brohug again already! :')

This still bugs me. After 7000 years, pretty much every dog is Satau's descendant.

How so?

Buster · Post by **Buster** » Tue May 22, 2018 8:54 pm

math. assuming no overlap and assuming an average of two offspring per family, within 32 generations, his descendants out number the total population of the planet. faster if the average offspring of his descendants are more than two.

if we assume an average generational gap of 25 years, thats 280 generations. even with overlapping family trees to the point of some branches being heavily inbred thats still enough time for his genes to reach every member of the species,and that's deliberately low balling the numbers.

unless his entire family line have been practicing selective breeding for a LONG time, his genes are out there.

Post by **D-Rock** » Tue May 22, 2018 8:56 pm

Gene pools widen over time, and 7000 years is plenty for it to widen its reach. Only thing I can think of that would negate this would be death of the individual who carried these genes before passing them on, i.e. having children, or it stayed in the Old World area and never transferred to New World dogs. The latter seems pretty unlikely.

Buster · Post by **Buster** » Tue May 22, 2018 9:03 pm

thats still an entire continent's population. more than enough that mungo's strength shouldn't be the anomaly it is unless it's more than just genetics.

Post by **D-Rock** » Tue May 22, 2018 9:11 pm

Maybe it's ultra-recessive?

Though was Satau shown to be that strong?
