I love that Eve tries to justify Max's behavior with an explanation that in no way contributed to his fear of thunder or his decision to run out into it. No, Eve, he ran out into the thunder because he's a stupid dog. He saved your life "several times," and so you think he is a rational creature, but he's not. He's a dog. He got scared and made a stupid choice. The real question is, how did Gary fail to kill you over and over again?

Ooh, some of Saul’s former grumpiness has returned. He gave Eve a random rag and is mansplaining. I can’t be too critical, though, because Eve irritates the heck out of me.
Chin Napkin Groupie might be either somewhat heartened or highly insulted by that rag.
Oh Saul, you need to get right up in her face and scream CALM DOWN! in your loudest, most hysterical-est voice because that’s the only way it actually works.
Today's Boldface Haiku is titled
"This Map I Got From Triple-A Will Help Us Plot Our Route; Now Where Are My Galoshes?".
Shot!
How!
Thinking clearly!
I'm confused. Where are Eve and Saul? In Saul's apartment or outside it? In yesterday's panel Saul opened the door and there was Eve. Today, they are in the hall? Did Saul not want to get his rug wet? And why does Saul wear a bowtie while relaxing at home? So many questions, no logical answers, this is MW after all.
@KitKat: I think that "random rag" she's holding against her head like an emergency battlefield wound dressing is actually the "NEWS WEEK" paper that Saul was reading when his doorbell rang. Excuse me, when his doorbell buzzed.
While there’s no questioning June’s artistic talent, she obviously faces some challenges (i.e. people holding cell phones). Like Yahoonski, I thought Saul had handed Eve the newspaper he’d been reading to dry herself with. I guess it’s supposed to be a towel. June would have been better off if KM had written that Saul handed Eve a cat.

But . . . but . . . but I thought dogs lived in the present and yada yada yada.

Yes, MDMaryTed, they're in the hall, based both on the look of the wall and the position of the door knob. Saul didn't let Eve in because Estelle is visiting for "coffee."
Oh Eve:
It never rains in California
But girl, don't they warn ya?
It pours, man, it pours.
My husband had a roll of blue paper towels like they use at car washes in his car. That rag looks suspiciously like them.

Hey Wanders, when I complained about seeing gross ear wax ads while I was eating breakfast, you explained to me that you had no control over what ads I was seeing; they were simply generated by my Google searches. Thus... can I surmise that the spam ad above is the result of yours? I know reading Mary Worth is painful, but still...

Eve, most dogs come back, get a hold of yourself! She needs to be slapped like that woman in AIRPLANE!
Maybe Eve should have made sure that Max had a collar and I.D. tags instead of spending all that time fitting him out with matching neckerchiefs.
SATURDAY
Saul: "Eve, you need to calm down. Hey, I know, maybe you could make us some dinner? I know that my friend, Mary, finds cooking to be very relaxing. And that way I can finish reading my newspaper. Hey, maybe we could even take in a movie after we eat? In fact, why don't we wait until tomorrow morning to look for Max, when it's light out?"

Sunday: Judging by the look on Greta's face in the final panel, I don't think she has a clue what's going on.
Instead of putting the weiner dog in charge, they could start scanning lost dog posts on social media, post lost dog notices, and call animal control. My little terrier got away once, and within ten minutes, someone found him and posted his picture on my city's facebook page.
Given that the Charterstone grounds are slightly larger than the King Ranch, I don't think that any strangers are likely to find Max. Nope, it's up to Greta, after she runs out of dead squirrels to roll around with.
There are a lot of things that bother me about this storyline. I would know if my know if my dog was terrified about something. And there's no way she'd surprise me my racing out the door. Max means everything to Eve but she didn't realize he was frightened and made no effort to keep him safe. I'm no Cesar Milan but I know my dog well enough to prevent that from happening. Any dog owner should
It also bugs me that Saul is going out in the rain to find avwet frightened muddy dog in his stupid bowtie and jacket. No raincoat? That's stupid.
Grrr
MONDAY
Considering that thunderstorm was a barn burner, why is it not wet outside? Why are there no leaves and branches strewn about? Eve”s wet and messed-up hair has dried into its usual style, too.
Eve and Saul should run into Mary, who can lecture them about having their dogs microchipped, let alone wearing ID tags. Instead we’re in for a week of Greta the Super Sniffer directing those two bozos over hill and dale. Does anyone doubt that Greta will save the day? Ugh.
I'm with Tim and KitKat.
And why didn't Eve start immediately looking for Max herself instead of wasting time running over to Saul's apartment? She could have called him from her awkwardly held cell phone. Maybe it's because Saul insisted on working out his financial compensation before he'd agree to help her search.

I'm thinking that Mary is on strike or maybe in a Witness Protection Program. Maybe she's holding out for more $$, since she's only shown up once in nearly a month, emoting about how the thunder sounds like gunshots. I really expect Saul and Eve to run into her, wearing one of those plastic rain hats that tie under the chin, as she noses around to find out who's firing guns in the Charterstone parking lot.. I fear KitKat is onto something with the microchipping lecture, however. The only thing worse would be a band-aid along the lines of, "After the rain comes the rainbow, and all creatures great and small will make their way to the sunshine." What happened to the Mary who knew enough to get good advice for Estelle during the romance scam?! She's MIA...
