finished "i hope"

I want to congratulate myself on finishing a difficult and dangerous job. I,ve also finished the story--a first for me. I give rocky a couple of atta boys, for communicating his concerns about the puppy next door. I do belief, in a mindmeld between the three of us..

Post script on ak, the puppy next door..

If you reshape your vocabulary--you will reshape your thinking. Do it in a positive way, you will find yourself more positive and with positive friends... And who knows, you may even reshape someones life.. Merry Christmas to all! PS. AK is no longer in his freezer-- I BELIVE spokanimal came and got him last nite--It was bitter cold.. I,m praying that he will find a place under the christmas tree..12/06/2013
 
Thank You Chief Straub

remembering the Jenkins

I,m trying to write. I spend a lot of time thinking about the past. I don,t know if this is true for all older people, but i suspect it is.
Many years ago, i accompanied sheryl and visited her great grandma.   I think..The old women was the oldest canadian living. I was impressed with her. Sig, was the only one who could speak, as she was back in Sweden, she spoke swedish, a sventeen year old girl about to go on a great adventure..America or bust! What a trip she took,, Can we come close to it?

AK gets help

This has been a cold week.
Ak owner showed up and they yelling was loud and nasty. I had the temarity, after t-day to walk over at 3pm walkinto their yard, hook up AK and go for a walk around the block. AK is like a filly. I laughed when he bucked front and back, fell down and rolled on the leash, got up and stopped to smell the ground, Rocky was off leash,but stays close. AK, has never been outside, and started enjoying himself going for a walk!
A pick-up cruised by -slowly- turned around and left. We continued our walk...ar riving home -to a barrage of profanities from the air force guy, who was gone while his puppy suffered.. He said he had 4 security cameras, and he was calling the cops, and I was going to jail!! Praise the Lord, i,ve been trying to contact Spokanimal, but everyone was on Holliday!! He put his dog AK back in the kennel, I waited...
Soon they're was a knock on the door, I welcomed two of Spokane fineist, into my home.. When I told them what was going on, they they said they would check and be back, presumably, to haul me off... They never returned, I noted, there was now a red power cord, going to the kennel. the next day, the power cord was gone... AK, showed up, and i took him in.... An hour later, a knock on the door. Did I have AK, yes i did, but i couldn,t take him back as i as now restrained from there property. the owner had called-bla,bla,bla. AK, had left. They borrowed my leash and returned AK, back into the kennel. I explained, that they were welcome to come get their dog, and had done so a half a dozen times.
Why was it impossible for them to tie a rope on AK, when working in the garage- he,s a PUPPY.. Anyway, I noted, his collar had finally been loosened...
Presently, we are in a deep freeze, I called Spokanimal, to protect myself. Yesterday, after spending anoyher nite in the deep freeze, I checked on him as usual, he came out of his kennel..so i knew he was all right and facing a bitterly cold nite. The weatherman said bring your pets in!
Last nite rocky kept looking at the kennel and then looking at me! Normally, he touches my hand with his nose to get my attention, but he uses his nose to point at what he wants. I finally went and checked, AK didn,t come out, but i,m sure he was in there. This morning, thrusday, doesn,t appear to be in the kennel. The man? has returned to work..AK is either in the garage, dead, or hopefully, at spokanimal. Iv,e put my balls on the line and I wish him well,, If he is fixed now, he will make a good pet for a strong, persistant and patient parent (owner)..

Postscript: the male cop who did the talking-looked familiar. I kept looking at him, while we were talking. Couldn,t quite place him (i,m not cherry). The next day, i realized i was talking to the new Chief of police. I had heard that he was riding with his officers. Seems like a nice reasonable guy.. The female officers, were very nice. They must laugh alot while they,re crying.. For the first time I thought it would be fun and an great career in law enforcement.. I had personally charged the chief of police with the safety of a puppy. They saved a puppy.. i hope.
