Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 04, 2018

Which of the others does he consider to be “nonsense looks”?

I love Rusty. Any dog sporting headgear is okay by me.

Very handsome, Rusty!

Rusty loves old Bogart movies.

Rusty knows that Miss Millie High Maintenance will be walked past his house today, as she is every Thursday. Rusty will play cool and hard-to-get to pique her interest.

Hat’s off to you Rusty.

So sharp you almost cut me,Rusty!

Little Miss Millie High Maintenance is a “ film noir” fan. She always had a thing for Bogie.

Lately she has been cozying up to Scooter, but Rusty is no dummie, he knows she won’t be able to resist.

Besides his growl is kinda sexy.

Rusty’s my kind of dog.

Rusty’s not alone…. Ballard Street dogs seem to love hats… usually business-like ones.

Far too many dogs to do them all justice….

I feel like I may have just posted this one the other day….

if so sorry… then again, it’s a classic.

It’s an admirable trait…. a dog wanting to present a professional face….

Watch out, though…. sometimes they have to be very resourceful in procuring what they “need.”

Rusty is expecting Little Missy High Maintenance to walk by today. Wearing his dapper dog about town Fedora. Dressed to impress. His other hats will show her his lineage that he’s party Irish, part Texas cow dog, and loves baseball. His hats tell us a great deal.

It’s casual. Sharp casual.

Nice. Even the squirrels should be impressed.

Rusty Hammer, Private Nose. “Have bark, will travel.”

speaking of nonsense—-i live in an adult community and many residents have dogs. very small dogs. halloween is coming. do i need to say more about nonsense??? i don’t think so

Everyone and I mean everyone looks great in a hat from Freddie Feltstet & Sons Fantastic Fedora Factory & Fez-o-rama conveniently located diagonally ( sorta ) across the street from Swabb’s Hotel,Restaurant,Soda Fountain & Cocktail Lounge on the High Street in downtown Ballard.

“Women go crazy for a shape dressed man.”

Rusty is one of the few dogs who can pull of wearing a fedora.

/3ack off, /3itches! :)

I have some bad news.

I don’t know if you have noticed, but ppyfss hasn’t commented lately. Here or on fb.

Someone decided to call the police in the town that she lives in and ask the Police if thy would do a check on her. She had fallen and was unconscious and unresponsive.

She is in the Hospital now. We don’t know what one. The police won’t let that information out.

All he needs now is a saxophone. The dog’s a real cool cat.

“I’m a police dog.”

“You don’t look like one.”

“I’m plainclothes.”
