Harold will have an ankle like Popeye’s forearms.

I’m glad Harold wasn’t wearing the puppet on something else.

I can’t keep my eyes open, I hope I can make it too bed.

… I wonder if he ever barks his shins?

When Harold says "My dogs are barkin’ " he just might mean something almost literal.

Did everybody go….again?

Sigh…..

Guess I’ll wander down to the Tiki…in spite of what my good friend Bev said.

Hmffph.

Actually Henriette doesn’t look all that unhappy about it….

I bet there are times she enjoys Harold’s…. little games, and …. um…. excursions with Socky …. no matter where he wears him.

She particularly likes it when she gets to make up some new rules …and Harold and Socky have to play along.

Still almost nobody here?Wow….

Hi Dogsniff…. sorry I missed you….

Fenton, I’m going back to the salon to get some sleep…if Harold comes in….before he opens the door, please check to make sure he’s wearing more than a puppet…

Where’s Red tonight?X?

And Beviek…

I see what you did…you took my perfectly helpful offer and managed to see it as an insult!

So that’s why you were poking me….

I never said you were a gorilla…I said (and I quote)’“If this stuff works on gorillas, with all their arm strength, I’m sure it will work on mere humans….”

So I did call you a “mere” human… I admit it.

But we’re all mere humans…

And what I meant was….if this stuff works on huge gorillas, with all their arm strength, I’m sure it will work on a delicate wisp of a human like our dear friend Beviek.

Sheesh.Touchy touchy.

At least he’s not sayin’ my dogs are killing me.

Looks like some people are just turning in while I’m just starting my day – not mentioning any names.

Now I wonder if he ever puts the puppet on the other foot? Both ankles need a good workout after all. He wouldn’t want one strong ankle and one weak one, I wouldn’t think.Or, he could get a variety of new puppets so that Henriette could be surprised every night. No, not that way! Unless she wants it to be…

This comic is so ridiculous that it is hilarious and the comments even more so. Good laugh with my first cuppa – coffee that is.

these 2 look happy!

Bob….now retired, works on developing muscles in one area at a time….

A year ago, he decided that before he retired, he would finally target his neck muscles…

Sorry everyone, I just couldn’t keep my eyes open last night.

Collin is sleeping better now, than ever before. His best childhood friend, Randall moved away from the neighborhood when Collin was seven and now lives in Oswego, where he fishes the south bank on Lake Ontario. Sometimes Collin calls him to say hello, but Randall doesn’t have much to say anymore. Joey the nose and Teddy Bear Guy, who lived behind the garage, still comes by to play ever now and then. They don’t like Shirley much and that can be a problem for Collin. Michael, Collins jogging buddy from high school simply slipped away and was never heard from again. Funny how some people just leave one life for another. George and Milton drop in from time to time to check on the career moves, but their conversations are more like interrogations, makes Collin nervous but its good for him, so they say. But Toby has been Collin’s playmate from the beginning. Loyal and faithful, cheerful in any circumstance, always close and always truthful…..sometimes its better just to pay no attention to Shirley.

His is a sock puppet.Mine is a small white with brown spots Chihuahua named Midget. Will sit at the end by my feet and softly wimper. Indicating it is 15 minutes before the alarm goes off.Time to get up.

Restless puppet syndrome…A terrible cross that Haroldand his wife have to bear…

I saw Laffin Larry at F A yesterday. Has anyone seen DAZZ? Is X installing a direct line for Marg and Susan’s Brain Bleach directly to her house?

Be late posting next few days.My Strike Team is being deployed back to West, Texas for the next four days starting Friday.Just security issues for now. Dangerous stuff is secured. Most folks are back into their homes but we have to watch for those that don’t belong. Disasters like this bring vultures to good folks that don’t need the grief. The shysters, con men, rip off artist are attracted like flies. Leaving out tonight about 9p to get to staging point to deploy.12 hour shifts but at least this time its daylight not groping around in the dark like the first time.Midget the Chihuahua will be so upset. She will have to bug the wife for a few days.

Ahm shur Collin iz practisin safe sox…. even tho Della occasionly plays along… she doesnt condone it, she understans, her bein a reformed sox addict hersef ya see…

So, later that night, Bob decided that Scooter’s tail needed some exercise, as well…

Scooter is less than enthusiastic…

(good night, everybody!)

Please send all petitions for reasonable weather to:www.fairweather.friends.com attention SusanSunshine (like she doesn’t have enough to do around here.)

She’ll be mad to help you. Er. Glad to help!

Good Evening and Good Night Ballardeers. I am getting later for me, and I’m too tired to stay.Hope to return refreshed tomorrow.

Time for basset-ball again!

Good morning Balladeers and Tigressy!.
