Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for January 24, 2025

While Stephen is rather dignified while drinking, Bridger is a sloppy drunk.

Stephan does everything with that blankety blank dog. Which is why he is taking his cocktail on the side lawn ALONE…..with the dog of course.

TODAY’S LIMERICK.

There was a young fellow called Steve,

Who told his dog Bridger to leave.

“You’re spoiling the lawn.”

He said with a yawn.

“And your dribbling your wine down my sleeve.”

/// As reward when the day’s strains were fought,

to the side lawn their cocktails they brought.

Stephen’s Pilsner Paloma

masked the Milk-Bone aroma,

and the rooster tail Bridger had caught.

Bridger tends to chew on everything, doesn’t he?

Good morning, Ballard Dears!

Bridger looks like he had enough, or has he been at the cat-nip!

If you think Bridger is tough on his drinking straws, you should see what he does with one of Stephen’s fine Havana cigars!

Bridger, and interesting name for a dog. He seems to share none of the characteristics of his namesake.

How nice….family time.

Bridger’s always been a fan of Mad Dog 20/20.

Good morning Balladeers!

Hi No 6! I "see " you up there! :-D ;-D

bridger takes a dogged approach to cocktail time…

So whose side are they on anyway? Far side? Near side?
