Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for December 24, 2016

Stubby insist on being top dog.

Whoa, you had to go back five years to find that one!

What is so hard about talking to a guy with an excited dog on his head? I mean, this is Ballard Street, right? We have an expanded vision of normalcy!

If I could call 5 years ago my “youth” I would be lying!

Stubby looks like he’s trying to steer the conversation in a different direction.

He’s always got a few talking points of his own.

Anyway, there’s a long tradition of carrying dogs aloft on Ballard Street….

Not only Stubby, but at the Sibley’s as Mist points out:

(in case it’s gone)

And Mickey, among others, also likes to ride…..

Sometimes they even have to carry each other!

Scene from “Dogtatuoi” ?

Taking lapdog to a whole new level.

Especially as Stubby is prone to piddle when nervous…

What’s really unnerving is Ted’s the dog.

LOL

Ted’s just trying to set a new chapeau trend. Stan’s not so sure he wants to go along with it. Walter down the street tried a teacup piddle and it didn’t work out so well.

No time to park I hafta take the dog for a walk…. In the meantime….

You notice the dog has enough sense to stay the heck away.

With my own two hands!

Merry Christmas, Ballard St. denizens!!!

Is that what they call “Hair of the dog?”

Inspiring story, thanks.

Rose, I know you can park! That was a funny video from Mist, though!

Too bad Jerry does not post on Sundays. Happy Holidays to Jerry and all you Ballard Street weirdoes!

If you watch closely, it’s Ted that copies Stubby. That’s unnerving.

Free Banana Eggnog at the Tiki All Day…

(Reasonable limits apply … Bartender’s judgement is FINAL….

No repeats of last year’s Habner fiasco, please.)

P.S. to Dennis…. just how do you know how well Rose…. er … parks??

Happy, happy, happy Holidays!

Which ever holiday it is that you celebrate.

Feliz Navidad to all fellow Ballardeers. My wunnerful wife and I spent last night at a Christmas eve party where we were the only Anglos. Many of their children are students in her tutoring service. Being there was an honor for both of us. Hence the reason for the greeting to al of you as I am honored to be here also.
