It's the responsible thing to do, especially since he has a history of running off. <BR/><BR/>The rescuers were really on you about it, but there are alot of abusers and neglecters out there. Think about how would you react to finding a skinny, unregistered, half pit-bull with sprained ankles? <BR/><BR/>Just a side note: Some whack job here in Michigan has taken to beheading loose dogs and cats. How sick and sad is that!?Darhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534302098399264608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20581097.post-1143654909816531732006-03-29T12:55:00.000-05:002006-03-29T12:55:00.000-05:00Yep, sounds like the good ol' mountain boys up the...Yep, sounds like the good ol' mountain boys up there.<BR/><BR/>At least Hawthorne is back! <BR/><BR/>Maybe if you fed him more, he wouldn't run away. ;)Kelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05177166614042228459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20581097.post-1143645327142280202006-03-29T10:15:00.000-05:002006-03-29T10:15:00.000-05:00Ahh, Rent-a-cops(RAC) the cost saving way of avoid...Ahh, Rent-a-cops(RAC) the cost saving way of avoiding paying real cops with benefits, while employing the otherwise unemployable.<BR/><BR/>The following is my favourite rent a cop story.<BR/><BR/>I spent most of my teens and twenties working at two bit jobs and backpacking around Europe. When I finally decided that going to university might be a good idea, I was about 36.<BR/><BR/>So one day I am in the university centre studying, with copious piles of books around me and an oversized backpack also full of books.<BR/><BR/>It is about mid January, and cold as Alaska (for my fellow Canadians I would have said Iqualuit) outside, but having dumped my coat at the history student association lounge office I am in jeans and a polo shirt.<BR/><BR/>After a few hours of studying I lean back on the arm of the bench I am sitting on and fall asleep, with a text book on my chest. This is where my RAC shows up.<BR/><BR/>RAC - Excuse me sir 'Poke' Excuse me sir 'Poke Poke'<BR/><BR/>Me - What the $%^<BR/><BR/>(I wake up to see a RAC with a brush cut, nicely pressed uniform, and a walkie talkie strapped to his shoulder starting down at me with a “I’m your worst nightmare” look on his face, poking me with a flash light, and just to note it is about 2:00 pm, I guess the flashlight is the RAC substitute for a nightstick)<BR/><BR/>Me - Sorry you startled me<BR/><BR/>RAC - Your going to have to leave campus?<BR/><BR/>Me - why?<BR/><BR/>RAC - you can't sleep on University property.<BR/><BR/>(I must have been tired because it hasn’t occurred to me yet that this idiot thinks I am some kind of street person - what did my deodorant quit and have the tears in my jeans become that noticeable? I know I shaved.)<BR/><BR/>Me - I was just studying between classes and must have dozed off<BR/><BR/>RAC - ‘cough’ yeah sure, can I see your student ID then?<BR/><BR/>(I guess he missed the books, the notes, the backpack with the university logo on it, and the fact that I was clean and Oh yeah I just walked in from sub zero weather without a coat- I guess if your over 30 and have an earing you must be a vagrant)<BR/><BR/>Me - sure (handing the genius my card)<BR/><BR/>RAC - Try not to fall asleep in the unicentre again (hands me back my card and leaves)<BR/><BR/>Jason, it’s not the hicks it’s the profession. An RAC is a person that wants to be a cop but lacks the mental capacity and given the IQ requirements of some police forces, this does not say much for RAC’s.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09628454969899731552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20581097.post-1143645098654401592006-03-29T10:11:00.000-05:002006-03-29T10:11:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09628454969899731552noreply@blogger.com
