Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for July 24, 2009

Could she perhaps tap that power supply?

Such potential.

Margueritem, that’s something every parent of every 5-year-old has wondered…

While you’re there, marvel at how a basset can move faster than the eye can follow.

One of the neighborhood cats comes around acting all friendly whenever I fire up my grill.

She probably learned the hard way.

I had no idea Bassets were so deceptably fast. I suppose anything’s possible where foods involved.

I’ll bet the grandkids really love Papa Andy. Grandma Angie probably appreciates that.

Basset waddle or no, when there’s meat on the ground, stay out of the dog’s way.

The waddle is just a trick to lull you into a false sense of security.

It didn’t hit the ground before Cleo grabbed it, so that means it belongs to whoever gets it first.

My dogs would never have let it hit the ground. It would have been intercepted at a maximum altitude of 2 feet.

If a hamburger hits the ground and there’s no dog around to get it,

can you just put it back on the grill and burn the germs and grass off it?

Cleo is one surprise after another. I guess when she’s hungry she can maneuver like a race car equipped with a vacuum.

Good evening Balladeers and Miss Susan! And the Chef who “ponders” “if a hamburger hits the ground and there’s no dog around to get it …”Just messin’ with ya’ Buddy! ;-)
