Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 15, 2016

The dog identifies as a human (sigh).

Rusty, Rusty…what do I keep telling you?

Do NOT wear Marcia’s clothes!It isn’t right!

First of all… you’re male.And second… she wears so much yellow.and red….You know she’s a Light Spring, and you’re a Deep Autumn.

Rusty, if you want fashion tips, ask Fifi. Now there is a fashion plate!And Susan is right, yellow is all wrong for you, You need something in rust or gold.

Miss Emma finally feels pretty.

Coyoty…

At first, I, too, thought this was Miss Emma….But everybody before me seems to concur that it’s Rusty…so I will abide by their decision…even though every reddish dog on Ballard Street isn’t Rusty Boy…Besides… I have had that discussion with Rusty, anyway.

Bev….I thought I was helping him….gosh, a person can’t give style tips?

Rose, yes, rust or gold is much better for an Autumn.Especially a Deep Autumn.

And while some dogs do look fetching in pink dresses… …

< And Miss Maribelle looks good in just about anything she wears…..

I would so like to see Rusty play to his own coloration, and learn what makes a male dog look fashionable and handsome….

Bev, I had to look in the mirror after my stint “reading the newspaper”. So far so good. .You seem to have found some new sites to mine. Funny stuff!

“No, but now my red pumps are missing!”

rusty’s ready for therapy

…not me. It’s a cousin of mine.

Just when you think Ballard Street couldn’t get any more bizarre………

Rusty Boy has been a very active member of Ballard’s LGBT ( Labrador/ Greyhound/ Boxer/ Terrier ) Community. He has a very refined sense of fashion and style. Unfortunately, his owner, Marcia, does not !Rusty was trying to rescue her from another one of her fashion faux-pas. That yellow dress definitely clashed with her orange shoes, hat and purse.Fashion hound that he is, Rusty was trying to show Marcia that the red shoes and accessories would be a better match.

Great some else I have to wait behind to get into the women’s bathroom. This is getting ridiculous.

" Life’s a drag " said the Queen.

And the Knave replied: " Once a queen, always a queen, but once a knight’s enough ! "

Marcia needs to quit taking Rusty with her when she goes sees her therapist. He has developed an imitation complex.Now Rusty needs therapy…..and a stylist…..I mean red pumps with that yellow…..ouch!!Happy…..that is one cute bunny….love the skull and cross bones.Linquist……..best joke!!

Perhaps Rusty would like to meet Girth…
