Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for February 25, 2023

You could tell him to shoo

I see that Scooter has taken up a new hobby.

As long as the shoes are empty, stealing shoes is just an annoying habit.

Don’t tell me Mr. Crakenhoofer is down…again. and it looks like Bill Baxterlie went with him. Last I saw of them, they were over to 5th St. chatting about Margo Poofer’s attributes.

Ted wonders who would be silly enough to try to shoe a shoo’d dog…

Living in the mountains, the neighbors left their pit bull roam while they went to work. Often the very friendly dog would hang with us during the day. Every once in a while she would show up with chicken feathers on her muzzle. I would clean her up and give a stern lecture.

The trouble, thinks Ned, is that he had asked (again) for Scooter to bring his sneakers, not another pair of wing tips…

Must need a chew toy.

Just another pair for his collection.

Just the pair of Wing-Tips the Scooter Shoe-ter has been looking for!

Where are the people who were in those shoes?

The dog is bringing Ted’s walking shoes!

You can’t tell by his size, but Scooter is part Shoehuahua.

Next target acquired

How did he get them off the overhead telephone wires? :)

So long as Scooter is bringing them in pairs.. nothing worse than having only one good looking shoe to put on in the morning.

Scooter has a unique take on ‘foot fetish’.

A friend’s dog used to collect bath mats. They never found out whether they came from bathrooms or just off clotheslines…

Good afternoon Balladeers.

“This is fun”, thinks Scooter.

What dog doesn’t love a well-worn pair of shoes?

That’s a pretty good “feat” for Scooter.

He goes for their soles.
