Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 27, 2024

he takes after his owner

He’s not going to like what he feels when his nose touches the door knob after shuffling across the carpet wearing those socks.

Must be shag carpeting. Awful stuff.

He is a discerning dog. Won’t “use” a tree…he was just a puppy, how could he know the tree was a cactus. That was a Vet visit he like to forget.

The feel of carpeting is bad, but walking with a hat on your foot is okay??

Scooter blames Chester, rightly or wrongly, for the choice of floor covering. Hence, that is Chester’s hat, socks, and gloves he’s using for protection.

Some dogs have trouble on (don’t like) slick wooden or tile floors.

It can be difficult to get/have traction.

Look what scooter found under the bed. Mrs Strayathome has some explaining to do.

Regardless, he still needs to learn some fashion sense. Striped gloves with Argyle socks before Labor Day is simply not acceptable.

Good morning Balladeers!

Surly Scooter’s Sartorial Splendor…

And every day his master looks for his belongings?……..

It tickles his toes.. and Scooter doesn’t like being tickled.

I keep getting a YouTube Short feed of a husky who is afraid of tile floors.

For some reason this reminded me of the online videos of cats jumping up on a cabinet that had aluminum foil on it. Hilarious !

“Scooter”…double entendre there??…Lol!!

Scooter is adept at covering his feet, isn’t he?

Good evening, Ballad Dears!
