Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for February 08, 2019

A mounted dog butt IS kinda funny!

Bert took a picture and years later gave it to his taxidermist. Good memories preserved.

I love a dog with a sense of humor. If the pooch can make me laugh, my heart is sure to follow.

Scooter is definitely the best looking of all those heads! And he is so happy to make his Daddy laugh.

A couple of wags playing around…

I’m still giggling!

Just don’t give Daddy any ideas for next time you dig up the petunias….

or break a window with a well-hit baseball.

Scooter is the smartest dog on Ballard Street.

Scooter’s favorite trick with this, is to stay perfectly still, pretending he really is a taxidermied terrier, until some unsuspecting party guest gets close enough for him to drool on them.

For his next laugh, Scooter will perform the Duck Soup mirror sequence.

Cool idea.. Marge (?) could put her head in there to boost his ego after a good night in bed.

On a separate note: I wish there was a directory of characters that show on Ballard street. Hard to keep track of who is married to who and what pets they have.

Too bad we can’t see what else is on the other side of the wall.

Bagged in deepest, darkest Ballard Street. That is to say, Mrs. Higglepooder’s back yard…

Love these Ballard Street denizens. Always good for a laugh and a guffaw!

I keep worrying that Scooter will lose his balance at the top of the ladder as he pulls his head out of the wall and fall down to the floor. I’d hate to see that happen, but I doubt I will.

Scooter is the happiest trophy head there. Good evening, Balladeers.
