Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 04, 2014

See what happens when they learn to write…

Why I keep my writing materials away from my pets.But there have been some strange messages on my tablet…

2Old… I’d thought that when it came to writing, Digger was second to none….But I see that, perhaps, he’s second to nuns.

Madame Beviek says (and she’s usually right, being clairvoyant and all) that the note says “Martin is a jerk.”

But before I saw her interpretation, I’d snapped a photo of it, which I took to the lab, turned over to face the viewer, and enlarged.

With all due respect to Bev… and to Muriel, of course … I see no mention of Martin by name….though it may say “Dad,” which would indeed refer to him.

But to my eyes, it looks like a plea for lasagna.

Perhaps…

“Big Dad…Then something hidden in the fold… I hope it’s ‘Please’ …Lasagna me.”

Anybody for banana daks?

I still have an abundance of green tomatoes…. in fact, the factory is bottling my special green tomato salsa tonight…

But those are the field grown ones…I’ve fried up another batch for the Tiki from my special backyard varieties,

Have a plateful free with any beverage or sandwich purchase tonight…

The Dog’s Manifesto1. Cat must go.2. More petting. 3. More behind ear scratching.4. More treats (non negotiable) 5. Move couch closer to window for sunning ones belly. (Its a dog thing do not question)6. Male must be more subservient. I lead on walkies from now on.7. Cat must go. (Already mentioned just wanted to remind you)8. Bottled water only….you don’t drink the tap why should I.(Don’t remind me of the toilet, that again is a dog thing)9. No more cheese….(gives me gas)10. Every day is a Dog Day…..treat it as such.

Thanks for the interpretation of the message, Susan.

Susan;Thanks, I’ll have one of these to go with my free fried green tomatoes. Its a healthy lunch, right?

I think Digger wrote, “Dad is a rotten tomato. Make me lasagne.”(It’s a dog thing. Rotten anything is good to eat.)

BEV, both Carson and the Meercats were hilarious.

Cute Sister Dogs, 2OLD!

Cats write in their litter boxes. Sort of like when you see a dirty car with “WASH ME” written on it….

Shika… puns are habit-forming. How can I make nun?

Susan, I think Digger is asking for a Big Daddy beer.Course, if’in he don’t want ‘em I’ll take them.

Somehow, I knew that last part, X…and I don’t think Digger drinks beer…so shall I just go ahead and set ’em up for you instead?

I suppose you want lasagna, too?

We don’t have_enough_ for you, X ?

I could bring you a few more bottles besides the ones on your table..

@beviekWorst bone spur I’ve ever seen.

Good Night again, Ballard Dears.

Not “The Rescuers” I know…
