Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 07, 2017

They look a little too sporty, if you know what I mean.

I think they are hoping to catch the eye of one Miss Millie High-Maintenance. Rusty and Buster want to find out what “High-Maintenance” means.

What girl can resist a sports coat?

We’re just a couple of sports..

No sport coats beyond the porch because of the so-called “puddle Incident.”

So-called, because… it was an incident involving a puddle.

In case you were wondering.

Meanwhile, I’d hate to tell them, but sport coats or no sport coats…. Rusty and Buster haven’t got a chance…

Not when Miss Millie can snap her front toes and summon the likes of Scooter or High Chief in an instant.

They’re bigger, stronger, and faster…. and more…. …. well…. talented.

And they already know what “high maintenance” means (wink.)

They look more like bath robes to me.

MUDD

I’m one of those guys whose reached the age in life where I look a helluva lot better dressed than undressed.

A sport coat ( or an Hawaiian shirt ) can cover a multitude of sins.

Both could benefit with a bit better fashion sense.

Perhaps a nice wool herringbone tweed?

They are just a couple of old dogs and all they can do is sit on the porch and bark….I’m up there with them.

If they’re really good, they’re allowed shoes.

Ballard Street never disappoints. Where else can you find dogs in sport coats? (And why do they call them sport coats? Yes, I googled it and only found a million places I could buy sport coats).

I really enjoyed the comments on this one.

But not allowed to chew on the railing, Buster!

Some puppies need their claws trimmed.

They really desire smoking jackets….
