As Chief of Security in this kennel, it is my job with
the aid of Tobermory to ensure the safety of our humans at all times. It always concerns me when they go away without
us but they seem to return unscathed. I
have therefore in the past been of the opinion that they must be sensible about
only going to places that are safe for humans without their security detail.
Last week we went for a play date at Truman's kennel
which turned into a sleepover. This is
always a telltale sign that our humans have decided to go on an adventure on their
own. I tried not to worry and was relieved
when they returned safely, although I have to admit to being a little indignant
when I saw the boards strapped to the top of the motorized dog carrier. They had obviously snuck off to slide down
hills covered in white slippy stuff without considering that we might want to
play in it too.
On their way home, our humans stopped to slide down some
big hills at a place called Kirkwood.
Sliding down slippy stuff can be very hazardous so I was upset with them
that not only did they go there without our supervision, but also that it was a
place unknown to us. There's a reason
why we have such big noses. It’s so that
we can run proper security sweeps which humans just can’t do with their little
noses. You’d think they might have worked
out the true purpose of our daily neighborhood sniffs by now, especially Mummy
who has had a canine security detail her entire life.
I was checking through the pictures on Mummy’s picture
box to see if I could see any evidence of potential hazards when I saw a
picture of a sign stating “Dogs, keep your owners on a leash.” Firstly, we take care of our humans so it is
obvious that we own them and not the other way around. Secondly, I now seriously question their
judgment when they walked straight past such a blatant warning that it was unsafe
for them to be there without canine protection.
