Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for February 23, 2021

It’s not Charlie’s lame looking dog outfit that has Sparky troubled, it’s his past history with Charlie.

Good thinking, Sparky. Before he tries to sniff your you-know-what.

This “dog costume” isn’t as bad as Charlie’s “cat costume” the smell of the spray took weeks to wear off. What the heck did he use anyway?

Charlie, the costume does not do much for you. Nor you for it.

Has he got his right hand coming down through his right trouser leg? Sometimes late at night I do not interpret pictures well.

Sparky’s thinking, “Is this a Japanese movie? Not going to stick around until Godzilla shows up!”

You better run, you better hide.

Make tracks? Sparky should run so fast that he doesn’t even leave paw prints.

Good Lord! He ate a human and it’s busted him in half!

Run Sparky! Run like the wind!

Another animal that will run wee, wee, wee all the way home…

Wonder what he does with the crank near his head?

I had a nut so neighbor like that!

If his hand reaches for the jaw crank, run for your life.

Oops…it’s mating season on Ballard Street.

But he just. can’t. look away…

When I drive by cows, I “moo” at them out the window.

Stand your ground Sparky.. That thing is all show, one nip in the right place will have it howling.

Live to be another man’s best friend.

It’s the old thing…‘What steps should you take?’ ‘Big buggers and fast!’ Go sparky, go!!

Sparky knows what Charlie is like without the costume. Now it’s ten times worse.
