Deplorable Actions of a NC Trooper (They Fired His Ass)

WHITEMARSH, MD --- On Fox and Friends this morning you would have seen one of the most deplorable acts of violence toward a trained K-9 drug dog you can imagine. This "Man's Best Friend" was kicked and beaten by an ass of a supposed state trooper. The talking head for NC's Department of Crime and Public Safety says this storm "trooper" was dismissed for this "unacceptable and deplorable behavior" yet I predict the "unions" will reinstate the trooper. The storm trooper contends that he was "correcting his dog's behavior."Fortunately, another trooper was on the scene and videotaped the incident. However, there was no explanation as to why the other trooper didn't stop the act from continuing. Just as I said about Michael Vick, this man needs to be thrown into a pit with some pit bulls and let him get a taste of his own cruelty. At the very least, he should never, ever be given a position of law enforcement authority again. I will keep you updated on this story if we ever hear about the outcome. However, knowing the media and politics and unions this ass of a man will return "rehabilitated" in some form or fashion. By the way, I know many law enforcement officers. I have worked with them and trained them in various skills. The vast majority of these men and women would feel as I do about this ass. For them, we give them our respect and credit for doing jobs that are underpaid and dangerous at times. For the few that are like this --- well, you know my opinion.

Until next time.

From Chilton, Wisc.

CHILTON, WISC. BEST WESTERN HOTEL --- Another week of work on the road. Life at Lake Barkley continues to be wet and muddy and this has delayed the final cleanup of our lake property. The boys are all doing well. Kay tells me that little Bit and Max went to the groomers yesterday and Stimpy had a day of good solid R and R. The old man is hanging in there. Although he seems to be getting thinner and thinner on me. He has enjoyed the spring and teaching Max to dig moles and shrews out of the ground. Max being the lover likes to play with his newly found friends and often carries them around with him like a toy. Kay and I both are having very busy springs yet life goes on and the business continues to grow and prosper. we are thankful. Stay in touch.

Until next time.

12 April 2008 Update on Stimpy and Life

FROM THE BACK OF A FLOODED EDDY CREEK --- I have been remiss. Due to extensive travel demands and work I have not been back here to keep everyone posted on Stimpy and life so I thought it best I do that today.

Since we last visited I have been in Iowa,California and Maryland. Next week we are off to work in Florida, the following week Wisconsin and then back to Maryland. So you can see this is a busy spring and is shaping up to be a great year for the firm.

However, it is also taxing and does require that our trustworthy and dear dog-sitter Kandace spend an inordinate amount of time with the boys.

Little Bit recently had some surgery to remove a couple of benign tumors from his feet. He was a trooper and is doing just fine. He is my recliner dog. Each evening he and I settle into the recliner after a long day of work to have a cocktail and watch the news or some other trash on television. He likes to snuggle.

Max is doing just fine. He is now about 75-pounds and is still as loving as ever to his best buddy Stimpy. Max gives him lots of love, attention and kisses. Max has always been a sweet dog but these days even more so.

Stimpy, I am pleased to say, is holding his own although he does seem to get thinner every day. He is eating well and pooping well as long as he gets his stool softeners. Today, he is sharing space with our housekeeper's two children - 3 and 5 years old and I am proud to say he is doing very well with them. Max and Little Bit also have been entertained by them.

Here is Stimpy with his frog just one of several of his toys. You will recall that Stimpy is very gentle with his toys and always tries to ensure they stay pristeen in appearance. Max and Little Bit on the other hand have been known to chew on them. Here he is protecting Mr. Frog.




I continue to appreciate all of you that have been checking on me and the Old Man. It means a lot to the both of us. This has been a difficult spring for me with Stimpy's situation and frankly I have been fighting off a terrible depression. A couple of my clients have become challenging and caused me to question whether I should continue with them, or not, and grief is finally catching up with me as it always does eventually. So, keep us both in your thoughts and prayers. We will appreciate it.

Until next time.
