Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for March 05, 2024

That is rather drastic for a car put into neutral.

.. and how to open a door.

Never leave your car running and unattended on Ballard St. Not because of car thieves, but because of Scooter and Phideaux, they’re working their way up to having a demolition derby.

Let’s just see them try to say that the dog did it.

Scooter thought the “N” on the transmission meant “Neutered”.

Shouldn’t it say that scooter learned how to ENGAGE the transmission?

Yeah, but can he double declutch?

Next Scooter will get the hang of triggering the car alarm. We’ll see how fast he can get away then.

And run for cover!

Scooter, a dog of many talents. Truly a renaissance pup. Oh, and never mind the skid marks he left on the seat.

Scooter looks a bit surprised at no longer being engaged to the transmission, wonder who broke it off?

Good morning Balladeers!

Well, Scooby — looks like another case of “Scooter see, Scooter do.”

Scooter better scoot!

Serves Herbert right for letting Scooter watch while driving. Scooter may be old but still able to learn a new trick or two. And, a lesson for the rest of us, blindfold your dog if you take him on car rides.

Bad doggie! Bad doggie!!

He just wanted to sniff the red car’s rear end.

Scooter the Wonder Dog.

scooter finally accomplished his goal by engaging in dogged efforts…

☺

Scooter has an engaging personality.

That’s what they get for leaving him in the car.

Looks more like he engaged it. Otherwise why did the car move?

I’d like to hear how this was explained to the insurance company.

The street seems to slope up where the car came from. How did it get up such a head of steam?
