Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for September 15, 2018

Scooter is helpfully returning those balls you chipped up there over the summer, Ted. But who will return S-Dog to Terra Firma? And how did he get up there, anyway?

Either way, beware of incoming.

Scooter is always the clever puppy.

Scooter is gonna break a tooth… or Ted’s head . Either way…

“Dog on the roof, aloof!”—Snoopy

He should have given it some fore-thought.

You can ask how Scooter gets up on the roof…

but all you’ll get is a knowing look and a slight wag of the tail.

Scooter has “ways.”

Nonetheless… we should not have dogs up on roofs throwing golf balls.

Somebody should talk to him.

Not arrest him…. he’s a good dog, and he’s only being playful…. but let’s stop him before somebody gets hurt.

Deputy BatPug is doing a great job.

I know he can bring in human criminals 20 times his size…..

but I worry that a playful Scooter might be a bit much for him to handle…

We need Sheriff MonkeyBlues!

I hope everybody’s been writing to the moderator!

MONKEY!!! Are you OK?

You haven’t said anything for a few days!

Everybody seems amazed that he got up there. I’m amazed that he learned how to throw.

Good morning Sheriff.

I haven’t given up on you yet.

At least hail goes away on its own.

Got his mind in the gutter.

Looks like a glass sunroom below. He’s waiting for the crash – and not stock market.

When I was told that Scooter was a roofer, well, I thought…

There’s a local roofing company with a radio jingle that stars “Roof roof roof roof roof roof…”

Can Scooter get a mulligan?

Scooter swollowed a dozen or so before noticing… that side to side tail wagging will soon be an up and down wag.

Scooter has discovered the strategic advantage of holding the high ground.

Since Ballard Street does not renew on Sunday, I still have time to post the “State cRoofing” jingle. Only found on you tube though, so it is not as good as the radio jingle. Listen to the background!
