Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for December 22, 2024

Warner realizes that the morning is just going to drag on and on

That cement sidewalk is going to hurt.

Those darn squirrels pick the worse times to dash across in front of the dogs.

He’s failing at his job. He’s not even walking the dogs.

Warner is being walked by a pack of dogs.

Good morning, Ballard Dears!

Warner bit the dust…and more than he can chew…..lying in the dust…

The same thing used to happen to stagecoach drivers in old Westerns.

Poor Warner. The dog owners will be so happy with their dogs’ condition, that they’ll want him to walk all of them every day.

Shouldn’t have cried mush.

Attach them to a sled.

TODAY’S LIMERICK.

There is a young fellow called Warner, Who lives upon Ballard St corner. Running dogs is his game, Be they wild or tame, But he’d rather be running a sauna.

Indeed he does.

Faster than coursers they flew, dragging poor Warner through piles of doggy doo!

Warber regretted his life choices up to this moment….

Well, he’s certainly chewing gravel…

That cement really grinds down that tooth enamel. Warner would be wise to have titanium implants installed if he continues his dog walker/skidder career.

Good morning Balladeers and Tigressy!

You know Digger and Teddy and Phideaux and Milly and Scruffy and Rover and Augie and Scooter. But do you know, the most famous Ballard Doggie of all?

Warner always takes the path of leash resistance.

Squirrel!!!

Nobody is “in control” of three or more dogs.

he’s just practicing for the Iditarod!
