Rusty Boy is a harsh critic.

Just for Whimsical Wednesday;beviek Says1My dragonfly costume is spectacular!!! ♪♪ I feel pretty, oh so pretty! ♪♪ ♪♪

How do ya like my glitter???? :)1This comment was pre-prepared to mess with your head

Boy, am I going to get for this!

Hey! Let’s not jump to conclusions.

Yes, we’ve caught Rusty Boy red-handed…..or……er… is that black-tongued? But consider that it may not be what we think. After all, dogs love stinky things.My little dog rolled in anything gross….. she thought rotten snails were fine perfume…whatever would erase the detested smell of clean skin and freshly shampooed fur.

Rusty Boy may be paying Ted a canine compliment, voicing his affection, his admiration and thanks.

Let’s not judge dogs by human standards!

Wow, that reminds me…. if we truly want equal justice for all, we need a Sheriff who understands all creatures, not just humans….MonkeyBlues for Sheriff of Ballard County!

X… I’m so happy to hear that Bev told you she liked the special glitter.It’s very nice of you to post her remarks in her absence….

And I don’t say that just to call attention to the fact that yours truly, at great personal expense, did just that for her dear friend Marg when she was on vacation…No, no… it was nothing, really.Really!

Yesterday, IMudd said “SS; i hope all is fixed now.”And Stelbel said “Wow! Your Monday was the pits! Losing two…TWO necessities like that! How did you get through it with your sanity intact?”All are finally fixed…. and I want to thank you both for your concern…..But Stel…..Where did you get the idea my sanity was ever intact??!!

Just registered my car, too…. take a look at this:

They might look kind of funny by April or so, long after the election….

But hopefully I’ll still be wanting to show that I was an early supporter of our outstanding Sheriff!

So Monkey…. please make sure that when next spring rolls around, or the spring after that, you’re still an outstanding Sheriff!

I’m counting on you!For Ballard County Sheriff, he will be the very best!

M- O-N…K- E-YB-L-U-E -S!

beviak, the glitter is cool! Some of it does get in the way of the view however…..

Dog nose . . . ☻

“…the auction went well several years back and I have the funds to secure the house.”++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Well, that is good news, indeed. The deal is set with closing on Friday. Congratulations! You are the proud owner of a BIG PIANO house . The price was to the TUNE of $1.2 million, but it is an upSCALE neighborhood.Please NOTE: enclosed in the envelope are additional KEYS.

Larrimore needs to work on his grammar……….I can’t find a verb anywhere!

@ IMudd

“88 are not enough?or are you speaking of lock keys?? or key of ‘C’ type?Dunno.”+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Smit …The former owner didn’t specify. He just gave me the envelope that says: extra KEYS. Maybe Redkaycei Repocwill update us?

Oh no… I see Rusty Boy mite be up to no gud agin…He came by yestidy an aksed to barrah mah marker, sed he wuz gonna dezine sum champain camp pain posterz… Ya think he mite be makin’ a politkal statemint…?? Is he implyin’ that Ted is a rite-in candy date fer Sheriff…??

Althou he’s a gud frend ov Munkey, good ol’ Rusty Boy is not uh registerd delegate ov the “Munkey Politkal Ackshun Comity”, he jess mite be antisipatin’ a mediuh blits an he’z jus helpim’ Munkey git a leg up on the compatishun.. We mite wanna make shur that Rusty Boy focusez on commentz that are relativ to mah (roomered) esteemed oponentz politikal platform, an not hiz personel high gene….

Jus sayin’…..

“An ah commit to yew… fair cityzens of Ballerd County… ta bring back valiu old timey valyoos ov the good ol’ daze… hot dogz, apple pye… stoodie bakers… an uh chain gangs… um, well, maybe not chain gangs…

“an uh GIANT snicker doodal in every pockit…!!!

Somehow stinky and odorous just didn’t seem compatible. So stinky was the clear winner. Rusty Boy had endured a lot over the years, he had always been faithful, loyal, dutiful and obedient. But another round of corned beef and cabbage with pickled cauliflower was simply too much…..No….No way ….

I’m so pleased you’re happy with everything! Enjoy your new home!

As to the other matter, Smi… the former owner has apparently skip …gone on a business trip. (?) I don’t know if this will be helpful or not, but I wonder if “Ardkyn” might be located on the main island of the Aran Islands in Ireland? There was an old fort called Ardkyn at one time. And, it seems that there could possibly be alternate spellings (Ardkeen? or Ardcaein?) and it might mean “beautiful height” (“ard” meaning “high”). Anyway, that’s all I can find out for now. I’m still trying to find a map where it is actually shown, but no luck so far.

If this is the same place referred to in the parchment deed, perhaps you hold title to that land. The Marquis de Clanricarde ordered troops there in 1651. I assume (always risky) that he was the major landowner then, but I don’t know his descendants, if he had any, would still control it.

I hope this helps is some small way and that with more research, the mystery will be solved!

(And, thank you so very much for your great generosity. You are too kind.)

Ted’s thought, “what fresh hell is this”, is a Dorothy Parker quote from the early-mid 1930’s. It seems that she acquired the habit of answering both her telephone and her doorbell with that very phrase.

Bat-Basset to be rescued!
