Where I'd like to be!

Thanks to Dory, I now can leave this cold snowy weather and relax on the beach.  Thank you so much Dory for teaching an old dog my mom a new trick.

Worthless Wednesday

Icy

We got ice not snow but ICE.  I'm not crazy about it the only good thing about it is the peeps are home with me and will most likely be home tomorrow. 

This ice can kiss my furry butt!

I went to the groomers today.  Mom has been letting my hair grow out during the winter.  Kristin the groom just gave me a bath, trimmed my toes, and my brows.  I also got this spiffy bandana.  Today the temperature was 60 but it was really windy which made it feel more in the 50's.  Sunday we are suppose to get freezing rain and snow.

Wothless Wednesday

We interrupt this worthless Wednesday to report it wasn’t so worthless, why you ask, I’ll tell ya why.  Digger came over!

I told y’all about Digger his mom took in Jeff and yes, Jeff still lives with them. Anyway, we reintroduced ourselves.

Digger is really cool and mom gave both treats.  I have to admit today was not worthless at all.  Who knew Wednesday could be fun.

I didn't get to go to the Heart to Heart Dance because I was stuck doing babysitting duty.  Yep, I had to watch Rory while her peeps went out to celebrate Valentine's.  She wouldn't even share her treats with me, look how she eats them right in front of me.

Do you ever feel underappreciated; well that’s how I felt this morning.  This morning before the sun was fully up, I could hear something outside.  I went to Control Tower 2 and looked outside and that’s when I saw Blue Dingo!  I alerted the peeps Dingo, Dingo, Dingo!  What did that get me, not an atta boy or a thanks.  All I got was a STOP IT and get back in bed!  But I didn’t want to so again I barked out Dingo, Dingo and I kept at it until mom got up and looked out the window.   I ran to Control Tower 1 thinking she was right behind me but she wasn’t.  The sun was up and now I could see him out in the pasture eating my cow patties.  I barked out again and said look he’s eating my cow patties, this time I hard “damn it Sully stop it!” but I couldn’t.  Mom finally came into the living room and looked out the back door and saw him.  She opened the door and told Blue Dingo to get and go home.  Then she looked at me and said “are you happy”.  Now normally she would share her breakfast with me but I didn’t even get a bite.  I am so underappreciated.

Keeping one eye open for Dingoes. 

Worthless Wednesday

Officer Training 101

Alright recruits, today is the 2^nd day of officer training.  What do uniformed police officers do, in short we serve and protect the citizens of Blogville.  Officer's will be assigned to patrol specific geographic areas checking for signs of criminal activity.  You are authorized to use force, however we do not shoot law breakers or criminals, we do not use bullets, we only stun them with poopie pellets till we can subdue them, or capture them for Frankie’s Court.  Blogville is normally a peaceful place however we do encounter the occasional DWI, Public Intox, and high speed chases.  Each officer will be issued a walkie talkie so you can communicate with each other.  You will need to learn the police 10 codes, here are a few examples:

10-4 “Ok”

10-20 “your location”

10-55 “drunk driver”

10-80 “chase in progress”

10-95 “prisoner in custody”

Let’s say you have encountered a drunk squirrel.

Always approach with caution and be prepared to take verbal abuse from the drunken squirrel, he will be using all kinds of HBO words, just shake it off and don’t take it pawsonal, remember he’s drunk.  Be sure to call in your 10-20 so others can arrive on scene to assist you.  Once your backup arrives, command the squirrel to get on the ground and to lay flat and spread eagle.

Next cuff him and stuff him in the paddy wagon.

Call in the 10-95, head to the jail and book him.

Now let’s say you have spotted a 10-55.

Call it in on your walkie talkie and again give your 10-20.  Activate the siren and lights, this lets the drunk driver know he needs to pull over.  If the drunk driver fails to pull over and accelerating his speed call in a 10-80.  The Blogville Police Force will assist you.

We want to avoid any accidents during our pursuit.

Remember saving lives is our duty and high speed chases are very dangerous to us, the public, and for the drunk driver therefore we want to avoid this from happening.

Instead we want our prisoner in custody.

Recruits this concludes our training for the day, if you would fill out the class survey and turn it in as you head out the door.  One more note, we have much more training to do this week, get ready to work your furry butts off this week.  I promise it will be rewarding and you will be trained and prepared for whatever situation you find yourself in. CLASS DISMISSED.

 

A Quick Note Regarding Officer Training

Recruits I just wanted to remind you that my Officer Training class will be February 3, 2015 at 08:00.  Arrive on time with pawsitive attitudes and be ready to take in a wealth of knowledge.  Coffee and dog bone donuts will be provided.

A few things you will be learning is how to approach a suspect, radio 10 codes, and officer driving.  I’m looking forward to having you puppers in my class.  Check out your shiny badges.
