There is magic in this land of Ballard Street. More than mythology, this is a real place which comes to the surface everyday. Just like Rusty Boy, the dancing garage door nymphs, the rock store in old downtown, Shirley’s sisters in Toledo, there is magic in the air and it’s not just because of the season of the year, no this is straight from the basement of the brain. Oh rejoice and be glad, do it like you know it, sing in the shower, tickle the kid, you could give a goldfish a bath and no one would think twice about it. Ballard Street Rules.
When my (late) little Schipperke was young, she’d jump straight up and down in one spot all the time.I’d jokingly call her Duncan, and pretend to play yo-yo by putting my hand out and patting her head at the high point of her leap…
usually about 4 feet off the ground.
She could leap a 4 ft fence from a standstill, and easily clear 5 ft with running start. Even escaped a 6ft chain link by sort of bouncing from her paws near the top, so fast she didn’t fall back… I couldn’t figure out how she kept escaping, so I watched her!
Standing at a friend’s flea market table one day, with the dog by my feet, on her leash, I felt somebody tap me on the top of my shoulder.Looked around, nobody there.Then again.Nobody.Finally my friend said “It’s your dog.”
I’m 5’6" and she was a foot tall at the shoulders, and weighed 14 pounds.Monkey! Never mind what I weigh!
