Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for May 20, 2010

Roxane is the best! ‘Morning, ejcapulet!

Roxanne climbed it all by herself, but by the look on her face, she did not anticipate the trip down.

My, my, isn’t she a happy little doggie! Morning, Marg!

Looks like a happy puppy to me LDB

Roxane is my hero !

She looks pretty excited to me !

Everybody…all together now…yell…”CANNONBALL” !

Ralph, and his newspaper, and his pipe are in for a big surprise. Happy puppy indeed.

Too bad Cleo can’t have as much fun while not making such a mess of the yard.

Boldyuma beat me by ten years! CANNONBALL indeed. What a brave girl going off the high dive!

She’ll be in someone’s dog house in a moment.

Cleo’s no ordinary dog.

Confound it, I forgot to supply the link to Cleo and Company:

G’mornin’ Cleo pals… whatever the hour may be, wherever you are when you read this.

We know where Cleo is…. she marks her territory by every means at her disposal…

in the May 20th  2020 “CLEO and COMPANY”

Her territory being a tiny bit of Cleveland, that you can find on Sherpa

I seem to remember saying something about this strip, when I was commenting, recently, about a different one…

and here it is!

But now I can’t remember the connection. Phooey.

It might have been another one where Claude expects Cleo to act like a “normal” dog….

Good luck with that, Claude…

Or about animals marking territory…

Cos I also recently mentioned the Cat… a great character on Red Dwarf (one of the best TV programs ever ever ever….)

walking down the hall marking his territory with a spray bottle of…. um… I-don’t-know-what….( and-I-don’t-want-to.)

I think I’d rather see Cleo’s signage than smell that.

The problem for Cleo…. besides a “Confound it” or two from her ostensible “Master”… (uh huh… )

may be worldwide illiteracy in the animal kingdom.

All the other dogs, and the squirrels,,, and have no idea what her signs say…

They may even interpret them as some sort of invitations to play or pee there.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Here’s the answer to Claude’s question:

That’s gonna leave a mark.

GOOD MORNING BALLARDEERS! DAY 680,068 OF SELF-QUARANTINE! HEE HEEEE!

Just a little SQUIRREL ly today. Sun’s out. The flood waters are receding. Gonna be a BUNNY! nice day.

Be good to one another…. HUGS ALL AROUND!

(PHOOPH!)

Good morning Balladeers. PLODS, and Miss Susan. Hope you all are well!

Cleo marks her territory at the Cliffords’ house. But, does she do the same at other peoples’ property as well?

This is great, NH. I can see a ‘9 differences’ puzzle in this.

I adore Roxanne. She is a master of the universe.

“Cleo’s megalomania!”

Cleo is just making sure that the evil cat next door knows that the yard belongs to Cleo.
