People say on the third date, that's when you see a therapist together.

Mary Worth 4231

"Ed, you may not realize you need therapy, but I do."

Mary Worth 4230

Careful, Estelle, it may just be a hot flash. Hard to tell the difference sometimes.

"Clair de Lune, Rhapsody in Blue, Ravel's Scarbo, and Chopin's Étude Op. 10 No. 4. I can only remember a handful."

Mary Worth 4227

You didn't, Estelle? Did you even read the website you recommended, Not One More Vet? Or did you just look at the happy pictures?

Ed: "... Willing to have whine with their cheese."

Estelle: "I'm sorry; I don't have any cheese."

I'm sorry, every time Dr. Ed talks about euthanasia, I can only think of this and start laughing:

Mary Worth 4225

Gosh, I hope Steven is doing okay. I worry about that kid. He spent years in training, and now he's going to start over. At least I hope he's starting over, and that permanent time-off isn't some sort of euphemism for, you know, moving to West Virginia.

Mary Worth 4224

This goes against everything I know about adult cats and dogs. Everything the Humane Society counsels as well. But I guess Ed and 'Stell can move in together.

Mary Worth 4223

Dr. Ed, you're going to need to clean your shirt sleeve very carefully.

Mary Worth 4222

If this strip has taught me anything, it is that patience doesn't always pay off.

Mary Worth 4221

Maybe tomorrow Estelle will ask Ed over for dinner.

Mary Worth 4220

Faint of heart... Is that why Steven took time off? He's faint of heart? I've got a feeling in my tummy-brain that someone better keep a close watch at Lookout Point.

Mary Worth 4219

Please don't spill your hot cat coffee on your lap, Estelle! You might drop your phone in it.

Mary Worth 4218

"And if you want to get ahead in this crazy business, I suggest you stop balancing your work and private life as well. We aren't advice columnists."

Mary Worth 4208

The only thing wearing Dr. Ed out is Steven's constant complaints and cavilling. It's time for Steven to find a new job. Perhaps he'd enjoy working down at the slaughter house.

Mary Worth 4207

"I also wanted to drink Slurpees and play with Pokémon cards all day. Kids are stupid."

Mary Worth 4206

It sounds like Dr. Ed may not "rely" on Steven as much as he pretends. I'm glad I'm not the only one who wants Steven to stay home a few days.

Mary Worth 4205

Now we've come full circle. Back to Dr. Ed's private life and self care. I'm starting to feel uncomfortable.

Mary Worth 4204

I'm a little tired your tears, too, Steven. And so much more.
