Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for May 20, 2017

It looks like he takes his job very seriously, too. Is that a 12-Hour energy drink in the cup beside him?

Um, Buster? Can you really drink through a straw?

In case you all are wondering: Stel is fine, Susan is fine, Bev is fine. They are busy doing secret things…. shhhh!

The decorations are nice.

Buster is a much-decorated neighborhood hero.

Meanwhile….. Thanks for the update, Rose.

I’ve been wondering how I’m doing.

Got the chairs. The zoo was fun. City traffic sucks.

Buster, being part Labrador Retriever ( we’re not sure which part ), was originally trained to be a lifeguard at Darby’s Poodle Pool and Piddle Puddle Pavilion on Lake Ballard.

Every dog is its family’s early warning system.

Good morning Ballard Street!

Hi, MIST!

Yes… Good morning all….

and Hi Mudd.

I usually get here before you and don’t come back in time to answer….

but I’m glad you seem to be doing better and better!
