Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for July 22, 2017

Nor should it. Who’s a good dog? Who’s a good boy, Barney? You are! Yes you are!

He’s the best and he knows it.

Scooter wasn’t quite so pleased when he won.

It was just for one morning…. not some sort of lifetime award like Barney may be getting….

but still…. he got annoying dangles…

and no wagon ride.

Then again…..

it was better than some “rewards” he’s gotten….

And even Barney’s magnificent award pales in comparison to the adoration heaped every day upon Ginger,

by her besotted human “Mommy and Daddy.”

He’s an excellent dog. Yes, he is.

who’s a good doggie…?

…my girls better…

Ballard’s Best Boy Barney beams brightly…

Best shit eating grins I’ve seen in a long time.

Mist disappeared again.

In the wind, again.

It will be a hot Sunday here on South Ballard St. But it is summer. The garden spiders ought to start showing up soon.

I continually tell my cat how good she is. That seems to be enough.
