Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for January 28, 2020

Herbie is an optimist.

Anybody else wondering if the shirt was white?

I thought the Swenson’s dog looked rather smug a minute ago.

And time and again he has said, “Yes dear” while not even listening.

Harriet is a model of sympathy (NOT)! Herbe was just trying to get the mutt to fetch a stick. A simple gesture of play. But the dog took umbrage at his yellow shirt and decided to fetch that instead. As Oldpine said, Herbe is an optimist.

Leave the dog alone; I said, leave the dog alone. Wap! Listen: LEAVE THE DOG ALONE!!! Bad Herbe!

Just like most men, they tune their wive’s voices out….after a while they sound like Charlie Browns teacher….waaaaah waaah Wah Wah waaaah

That’s why they have leash laws.

You looked him in the eye, didn’t you, Herbie? You just had to look him in the eye…

And where is the cat attacking those socks?

Romping with neighbors dog was fun.. until Herbie insisted the dog give up the stick.

That is some precision shredding! No blood!

I have the same problem. I enjoy petting.

She secretly smears his clothes and shoes with bacon grease so her own wardrobe remains pristine. Poor Herbie.

I stay away from that yard!

Those eyes crack me up!
