Whenever our family goes anywhere, the first day home is spent in the mayhem of re-entry. Today that included unpacking luggage, getting Christmas gifts all sorted out, hauling wine to the cellar, running to Costco and the bank, and then a stop at the post office to pick up.....a gift? an order of books? the camera David bought on e-Bay?.......no, I went to pick up an order of restraint against lovely Roscoe.
Look at his sweet yellow face. He could not hurt anyone unless he fell on top of them. He's overweight and arthritic, and doesn't even run in a straight line.
If were aiming to bite you, he would miss.
Now Cinder, the little black pitbull below is a bit out of joint over the whole thing. He's thinking that if any dog here should have an order out against him, it certainly shouldn't be Roscoe!

While we are on the subject of unlikely things, I want to share that ever since Daniel heard that there is a possibility of having the border authority point guns at us as we cross over at the Peace Bridge (as happened to some of you who are reading here...), He's been trying to make it happen for us.
So when we crossed over in September, he rehearsed his lines over and over so that when the agent asked "Where is Daniel Holt Ween" he was going to say "I don't know, my name is Jason Bourne".
Well this time, when the guy in the booth asked me if I was carrying any citrus, Dan leans forward frowning, and says "She's got mangoes!" Like I'm purposely trafficing illegal fruit across the border. The agent lost his composure and just waved me on.
And for the last silly thing I have time for today, here is something stupid we doscovered while driving through Tennessee last week. http://musicremedy.com/n/Noah_and_The_Whale/videos/5_Years_Time-26207.html

Danny's comments killed me!
He's such a funny kid. "She's got mangos" Hehe
He keeps asking "now why were they pointing guns at Murray?" Like it's just eating him up.
poor roscoe!
The dog catchers are evil!
You should mention that $5000 fine that now hangs over the poor dog's head like a bounty!
Right,
this is really not funny at all. I went to City Hall to request a hearing of appeal. If we are not successful, Roscoe will have to be on a 6 foot leash or in the yard at all times. And since it does occassionally occur that he escapes the invisible fence, and he does LOVE to run free in the woods with us, those limits seem harsh, and the fine is indeed $5000.
Our neighbors are writing letters defending his character, and that's got to help us.
Tell Daniel he will have to change his name to J. Murray Robinson if he wants any chance at all to have a gone pointed at him:) ... although I think the red flag has been lifted from our name now.
Seems Danny was disappointed that he wasn't held up at the border! :)
