The one where Jim reminds Elly that Farley is kind of older than sheepdogs actually get.
Panel 1: As Elly peels a poorly drawn potato that makes it look as if she's peeling a hamburger, Liz tells her that Jim is back from walking Farley in a manner that indicates that she had no idea he'd done so.
Panel 2: When she points out that he didn't stay out long, he starts to explain why.
Panel 3: Y'see, when someone gets old, the cold gets to him. His joints stiffen and he can't stay out for very long.
Panel 4: When he explains that's why he took Farley home, Elly is confused because she thought he was talking about himself.
Summary: This really shouldn't because Farley is about nine or so and that's pretty much as old as most of his breed actually live to get. Also, she thinks that Jim will keel over and die because she doesn't know that Iris's loving care is what kills him.
