Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for February 13, 2012

Essex scores again!

I’m too tired to think of anything right now…

It gets really noisy in a public barking lot.

Seems like he’s barking up the wrong s…tree…t to me!

Beats that annoying beeping sound.

..to all of the above comments! Bravo!and to Johnny Diego: thanks for the hilarious YouTube link!

oh, the ideas Ballard Street brings to reality!

Looks like all the parking angles have been covered.Uh, REALITY? Really?

Rusty’s all bark and no bite.

My brother works with the early training and orientation of service dogs. But don’t think this is one of the things he trains them to do.

Rusty Boy has gladly accepted every challenge of life in a technological society. Watch dog, guard dog, service dog; all passé skills of a pup. His daily duties now include not only back up alerts, but also automatic garage door monitoring, timed lawn sprinkler disengagements, photo eye lighting checks and rheostat adjustments, electronic erimeter fence observations, examine pest control devices, quality control for garbage pickups, supervise pool cleaning and maintenance crews, over head power line watchmen, scrutinize foot traffic on paved walkways, screens all door bell engagements, early alerts for scheduled personal appointments, paw stamps all delivered mail, monitors newspaper delivery placement and checks plastic packaging, disburses tree rodents, rendezvous with neighborhood border patrol, keeps an eye on posted television screen alters for phone and faxes, and finally as a true commitment to excellence, ensures quite time from 1:00 to 3:00 week days and 1:00 to 4:00 on Saturdays and Sundays.

Very good! Also he never tires, is a good defender, watches his tail and nothing curbs his enthusiasm.

With apologies to Bent-Monkeyblues for stealing one of your puns. I missed your post!

Rusty is a trained bark-up dog…

How did I miss that one 10 years ago?

There were more people here… maybe a deleted commenter had already said it.
