    They never should have allowed those experiments with GMO dogs.

    Can you imagine a mixed group of three members congress achieving such a result?

    Dogsniff, Dogsniff…one more time: your name appears on your comments.Sigh….

    Actually, I’ve bitten my tongue wanting to say that to posters who “sign” their comments.Do they not notice that all the rest are already labelled?

    I think the dogs are just getting ready for the Ballard Street Memorial Day Parade.They figure they’ll easily sweep the Canine Bicycle Division, their bike being the only entrant.(Shhh….They don’t know about Miss Millie’s unicycle lessons.)

    The event is already attracting biker groupies.

    Crank and chain are on the wrong side of the bike.

    All this time, I thought your avatar guy was holding a microphone, so perhaps he was an announcer/emcee…?Just clicked on it to see the slightly larger version on your profile page, and now see the “critter/shaver” (truly a unique way to shave!).

    Just called for eye exam appt.

    unnormal, I can imagine the effort, but all five of the unicycle’s wheels would be pointing in a different direction so they’d go nowhere.

    Rusty Boy, Miss Millie, and Scooter were once known as the Flying Bravo Brothers. But nagging injuries and the unfortunate crash landing of their sky diving plane hasreduced their once majestic top billing to a playful day trip to the park, out for pepperoni treats and banana pieces for Miss Millie, her favorite. Monday is usually not their day to ride, but a summer’s day with no rain and a cool off shore breeze was just too good to pass up. That’s life on Ballard Street.

    Did you talk to Mallett? He usually does the triathlete gags. :-)

    Scooter’s been practicing…

    …and hopes he can catch LMMHM’s eye! He’s loved her for so very long and has finally conquered his fear of tricycles, cats and mice just for this event. He’s certain he’ll make a big impression. His act, “Four Guys on a Trike”, is so much better that the “Flying Bravo Brothers”, and he was lucky that FlyKittyFly was available for this gig. FlyKittyFly’s two assistants, Camembert et Gruyere, have made a special trip especially for this parade and a chance to jump start their flagging careers.

    Poor “Mi Mi” Suzette de la Margaux! Just arrived in town and didn’t know about the new hair coloring process at BSSB salon. She gave Susan Sunshine carte blanche to do her “speciality”, and now, she has “beaucoup” regrets…

    LMMHM’s reaction: “Alors, who is crying now, cherie?”

    StelBel — Mimi will have no regrets once the lights start up…I mean, she DID ask me for a purple topknot and turquoise wings…. wait!! What is that yellow stuff?I did NOT do her rear section…she must have stopped in at Harriet’s Discount Divas for some more work…Harriet’s nephew Philbert just got out of beauty school and thinks he can do everything….He tries to undercut my prices…. but honestly, just between you and me, of course…. he has no artistic sense at all.

    x_Tech…. what can I say but aaawwww…Pierre is just too adorable.I suppose if anybody beats our boys on a bike, it should be somebody so cute, and working so hard.

    I love the building behind him….. what part of town is that?You know, I wonder whether all these out of town dogs should even be eligible for the Ballard St. Parade…hmmm…

    Well, I had no idea, but I’m not so familiar with Zappa. Now, I have to catch up and see what I’ve been missing all these years. LOL

    I hope you don’t mind, but I thought beviek might like to see an enlarged version, given that she and I are near blind!
