I saw a fire hyrant dressed in a security jacket in front of Province House last week. Maybe Dex and His Den assigned it to keep a watchful eye on the MLAs.
might have been an evil twin of one, oceanlady.
The long, lost 6th member of the Village People maybe?
and you followed her commands why? pretty sure “off-duty” means zero authority
definitely a jack russell…rawk
She didn’t command a stop martym. She forced me to stop when she jay-walked. It was either hit the brakes or hit the jay-walking crossing-guard! I chose the brakes. The alternative may have been more interesting. Headline: Dead Jay-Walking Crossing-guard Barely Graduated College of Crosswalk Procedures and Practices
A jack russell???
sorry lady of the ocean, i have been on a dog groove of late…nowt to do with this thread^^
I had thought that Jack Russell was a person until I Googled it. paingirl knows so much about dogs, probably could write a book about them.
merci, it has been a thing of mine since i opened the big encyclopedia britannica and saw all those dogs…but i wear many hats in that quadraped world. grrr
One of my grand-puppies is a Jack. Great little pooches, aren’t they? Small dogs with big dog attitudes. They are so adorable:)
my folks had a jack, we would take him to big fields and let him play with his soccer ball. a very firm hand is called for…take dog, put down and gently bite the neck, keep there til subdued. DISCLAIMER: novices should not attempt
