Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for December 30, 2024

Delbert and Pearl are still trying to convince Buddy that they love him after that trip to the vet’s office, the one where not all of him came back.

Because he can ….

Buddy, they are just letting you know you are loved. It’s hard, because you don’t like to be petted!

There was a young doggy called Buddy,

Who was convinced that his coat was all muddy.

He’d sit in a room,

And continually groom,

No wonder his tongue is all bloody!

If you’re in the UK, check out ‘The Footage Detectives’ on Talking Pictures TV at 7pm tonight. I’ll be appearing in a segment regarding ‘Andy Capp’.

My Buddy is better.

Buddy gets tired of the fawning. Grooming is a great deterent.

Good morning, Ballard Dears!

They just want some Buddy to love.

The real Downward Dog.

Good afternoon Balladeers!
