Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for November 23, 2007

Awfully sweet, Ma and Pa Clifford and the Basset Clan. The teenage girls in their makeup, looking cute to Roo-oya Moo-oore. Hope he doesn’t show up. The boys are being amazingly well behaved. I imagine Cleo is off in the kitchen holding things together.

Oooh…. they’re posing almost like that famous Nordog Barkwell magazine cover.

What a feast…. except… actually, they all look kinda sad.

Is that cos all they ever get is kibble?

Yeah, I see there’s a big plate of dog biscuits….

but I heard that the pups were hoping for a real roast squirrel this year…

Daddy’s been chasing one for weeks ….. sigh….

Thanks for asking, Nighthawks….

actually, even that comment was only half of what I’d intended to say…

but I fell sound asleep… woke up, hit “submit” … and went to bed.

A very HAPPY THANKSBASSET, Everydoggy!! ….

er… Every body…

Airborne!

Charlie is airborne, Gwen!

Now he can be amongst the ranks of Ballard Street flyers of all descriptions….

He can swoop, and twirl….

chase the squirrels higher than Max, or even Scooter, can….

He can fly, Gwen!

He can fly you to the moon…. well, sorta.

And he can market his invention….

spark a new craze…..

the sky’s the limit!

Literally.

And he’s in on the ground floor.

Well, so to speak.

Kibbles and biscuits Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

What an absolutely darling Basset Family portrait! And, thank you, Nighthawks for sharing this with all of us!! You make my day!

And, while I’m at it, a big THANK YOU to StelBel for sharing her talents with us, too.

And, what would ThanksBasset Day be without this wacky Family! Thank you all for being part of this family.

My favorite part was the bug-eyed big-nosed Basset on the bottom right.

What a great family get-together and what a good looking family.

Love all the detail.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends!

Happy Thanksbasset Day to all!!!!

Can dogs drink through straws?

Happy Happy Happy Thanksgiving day everyone, the Bassetts don’t look too over the moon but I hope they had a lovely meal!!!

Happy Thanksbasset Day to all of my C&C friends.
