Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for July 19, 2012

hide and no seek

Angie’s got her hands full today, Hide & Seek Thursday. With Melvin and RustyBoy outside and, wait….who? It’s FlyKittyFly!!! and either Camembert, or is it Gruyère, playing the game in the house.Bev , it’s FlyKittyFly!! Over at Angie and Mel’s!!

(file photo of “Four Guys on a Trike” a few days before the Ballard St. Memorial Parade, 5/21/12. L to R from top: Camembert,FlyKittyFly, Gruyère and Scooter)

BTW, I just saw Larry King on the Today Show, and I was amazed that he so strongly resembles the martian who introduces the link I posted last night! Coincidence??? I think not!

metamorphosis:

I play that game all the time… seriously never gets old! (except the standing on hind legs part)

I think Rusty Boy knows he’s due for his bath. If he can’t be seen, he won’t be clean.

Becoming one with your surroundings is a new concept with the Findlaps… but ever since Norris watched that late nite PBS special…. the show title escapes Angie at the moment… Norris and Dweezle are looking for common bonding ground…. esp since the “poop-in-boot” incident in May….She does hope that something good comes from this, although she IS concerned that casual observers on Ballard Street have taken notice (esp other canines) and assumed it to be a new type of game….

And some, such as Waldo, the young chocolate lab 3 doors down, have taken the new fad (“Bark-Barking” has been suggested) to a new level…..

…and of course Waldo has other tight competition as well

not to be left out… even Batpug… in his off duty hours is trying his best, albeit not quite as limber as the young “pups”….

whats next, on Ballard Street….? Where is this headed

and lets not leave out the VERY young…….!!!

Of course…. this new activity is NOT without serious re-purr-cussions…..

As a rezult of this spate of strange activities (tree climbing dogz?) as witnessed by the neighborhood felines on Ballard Street, this has caused another rash of reported strange behaviors, as witnessed by several BS Irregulars…

some are in denial…. such as Mrs Bevs kitty…

x_Techs cat just emerged from the basement… obviously been working undercover with Fly Kitty on a new tactical technology that could swing the ballance of powwer for global domination back in their favor… again….

Meanwhile….. Stels cat thinks that working on core strength and agility would be the best and most effective way to address this new threat….

…..and Johnny Diego’s cat…. well, I think we’ll need to check in on him a little later….

and of course….. Suzy Sunshines’ kitten is im-purrrr-vious to the new threat, and just wants HUGZ……. (hope Scooter doesn’t see that)

And Red Repoc (new resident), well his pet kitty thinks it’s the purr fect oppor toon ity to write a song….♪♪♫♫

and Linguit’s cat…. well…lets just sayhe aint goin’ down without a fight…!!!

SOME of the local felines have yet to hear of these recent developments….. guess theyre busy…..

and Number 6’s cat… will divulge not one of his top secret plans….. let just say I would be srprised if it involved any dancing….

and my cat…… (sheeze a Sphincte Sphinx)…. and she smellz like the bak of a yak….. so its time for a cleanin’….

but until this mess gets ironed out… I would suggest that the BS KATS stay outta dem TREES!!!!

Snowflake is going to be so achy and exhausted tomorrow! This neighborhood is really going to the dogs…and cats! Locking my doors tonight!

BatPug is experimenting with new camouflage techniques, since he’s not as limber as he used to be (he never was limber…)

(Tremendous job today, FSMB !! So very well done!)

Good night, all!!

A beautiful poster by StelBel for a classical movie!
