Nope, not dead yet... only because I don't bark!


Good to be back! I've missed every one of you readers. Ok, really I didn't miss any of you, but I figured it would make you feel better about yourself if I said that.

I took a little hiatus from blogging, but I'm back now... so deal with it.

Here are some random items for you to digest.

Blue Ash Ohio police officers were so in fear for their lives from a loose dog, that after they cornered the dog on the owners front porch they shot it. I'm glad the world is safe from that FIVE POUND CHIHUAHUA. Seriously. They shot a five pound dog. Exactly how is a five pound dog deserving of being shot. Even if it bit the fucking cop, which it did (GOOD FOR THE DOG!), get a box or something and put it over the dog... why reach for the .45 caliber sidearm? Because cops are trained to shoot first. That's why.

Not to be out done, a police officer in Danville Virginia shot and killed an 11 year old, 12 pound miniature dachshund. The officer was in fear for his life because as he was walking back to his vehicle after serving a warrant at a neighbors home, the fierce killing machine came charging up behind him growling with its teeth bared. Luckily the officer only had to shoot the monster once to get the kill. Who knows what severe life threatening injuries this officer would have incurred had he not reacted with gunfire to the TWELVE POUND threat to his life.

What the fuck is wrong with the police? Are they going to shoot a 5 year old kid weighing 65 pounds if the kid runs at a cop with a rock, and claim self defense? Would you the public stand for it?

And finally, on a lighter note... Mrs. Old Fart and myself are getting all Nashvillized with our concert choices this year. We'll be going to see Toby Keith with Trace Adkins July 31st, and then Keith Urban with Taylor Swift on August 8th.

YEEEEHAWWW

Im with you on this dog shooting thing. It seems more than a little extreme. In fact I'd say the cops did it because they enjoy that kind of shit. They really want to try it on a person, but that might get their tit in a ringer.

It's amazing that firemen, postal workers, and utility meter readers routinely interact with strange dogs, and RARELY have to resort to using deadly force to stay safe. But a cop has a toy, and the departments have basically given them permission to shoot pets... so they do it.
