Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for May 13, 2013

Bless your little pointed head, Toby.

At least it’s high fashion designer dirt.

we call it “p-mail”

Are we all going to get muddy footprints on our chests on the way to the Tiki?

I guess I should wear my apron.

Oh well, it’s a mark of honor, I guess…what will people say at the Safeway in Santa Rosa?

Congratulations, Red!That deserves a congratulatory tipple.

One of the basic misunderstandings between humans and animals…. even in a well-assimilated and harmonious place like Ballard County…

Humans think mud is bad; dogs, pigs and even …yes… monkeys wearing badges tend to think mud is a delightful gift.

Hurt feelings often ensue.. on both sides.

“You ruined my dress!”“But…. but….I made it prettier…”

Where’s everybody been lately?

Thanks to Toby, Dilbert’s now a marked man.

bev, Jann Arden is A Canadian artist with little or no U.S. exposure. I find much of her music very depressing. After listening to her I want to follow it up with something much more upbeat.

This kid hated getting dirty, even at 2. My mother thought something was wrong with me. The only thing I can think of was I have allergies and my eyes itch – when I rubbed them, dirt made them worse….

Even big boys love to get dirty. It’s why guys love playing football when it’s rainy and the field is muddy. They don’t have to wash their own uniforms !

How in the name of all that is cheesy did that doggie cock his leg that high??

So Bev and Marg, is there speculation that something serious may have happened to Teresa? I thought she was just taking a hiatus and it is still in my page (showing as “not updated”)

And where did Little Toby get the inspiration? Why, down at the local Ballard Veternary and Art Projects building…

Toby says:“MINE, ALL MINE”

My doctor decided I should have some of those (but was very specific in which ones and how many of each over the 1st 4 weeks, now another 4 weeks with just 2 of everything twice a day). All this on top of vegan and GF. My BP IS improving and now I am starting meditation. I’ll see next year if it was all worth it.

Doc thinks I’ll feel so changed that I’ll want to stay vegan and GF, but I know I want some brushetta on good Country wheat (even if it’s vegan) and I definately WILL have top quality prime rib or filet on special occaisions. I expect to eat less of the full fat cheeses. One year of this is doable, but living the rest of my life as a vegan – NEVER! When I met the doctor, I told him that pleasure is the most important thing to me. That will never change!

StelBel….

It was his paws !!

His paws, I tell you!

Honestly, the way some of you people think.

And you’re embarrassing poor little Toby.

No, I admit….not cos he has better manners than that… but because he’s too short to be able to do it.

No need to repeat yourselves Balladeers! I saw your comments the FIRST TIME AROUND!

GOCOMICS FOLKS, ARE YOU NOTICING?

Dry,Are you referring to the double comments that appear when we refresh after a comment? I thought that only the poster saw those.

DAZZ, No I see Stel’s Veterinary photo twice, your 2 comments on your diet, and Susan’s "It was his paws, I tell ya’ comments twice on my page.

weird, dry…I only see them once each!What happens if you refresh the page?Not the comments but the whole page.

Oh Susan when I refresh the WHOLE page, it takes care of everything. I guess that is what we will have to do until they FIX THE NEW AND IMPROVED version of gocomics!

And once again

Susan, Oh well, I’ll live with it, to paraphrase the GREAT Red Green,

“I’m a comic addict, I can live with it, if I have to, I guess”.

I will check back tmr, I didn’t sleep well last night, work tmr. so GOODNIGHT BS’ers!

Could someone have a big hot coffee waiting for me in the am at the Tiki Bar? And maybe a muffin with strawberry jam?

Isn’t the Tiki open for breakfast? :-)

the dreaded urban bog schnauzer

OK now that I see the whole sculpture it is clear. I could not figure it out from the other photo (thought it was a kiwi or penguin).

Love is in the air…
