Sunday Round-UP

If you lost a Grey Donkey please let me know. This way I can thank you for giving me something to get off the highway for three hours on Sunday. Seriously you saved me from watching the Cowboys loose yet another game.

Monday Mayday

Don't know why, but I still get surprised at how many departments can be involved in something for no apparent reason. This call came in as a dead rabbit pickup up. Before I was called, the Police, Home Owners Association President, Fire department and my boss we all called to figure out what to do. Obviously this rabbit had been in the front yard for a long time before anybody decided to call in the first place. I was also asked to put a rush on this even though I had live animals in need of service waiting on me.

Maybe not fun to have in your yard, but seriously folks, your kitchen table looks worse after your family eats a bucket of KFC.

Dallas Greek Food Festival

I look forward to the Dallas Greek Food Festival each year put on by Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church. I always eat way too much, but it all tastes delicious.

This Icon is on the outside as you walk into the Church.

Yummy Gyros.

Even Dad was Greek for a day.


Making Great Greek Coffee

Baklava for desert.

"We have found Obama's Kryptonite."

If you missed this, it is worth a watch for a good laugh no matter what your political views are. Starts out slow but give it to the point where the woman introduces herself as " I am one of your middle class Americans" and watch it all. Enjoy!!!!!!

Party Planning

Lately I have been noticing my boss's ideas seem to be comming from Michael Scott. Today, after working in the rain and covered in mud I came in to the office to find this email.
" I need a volunteer for the Halloween Committee Party If I do not get a volunteer I will draw a name". Keep in mind the office dresses up but not a good idea for field officers responding to emergency calls.I want to respond with this video, but utube is blocked at work.

WIsh I skipped this one.

Many of you will disagree on what I thought of this movie. I was highly disappointed in The American. The only positive thing I can say is it had a chance to be great and it does have some great visuals of Italy.
I have read many reviews on the film and found this one by Rebbecca Murray to be my favorite.
"a wasted opportunity, a flat, uninspired production that doesn't go anywhere and doesn't tell an engaging or even logical story."

Never Know What People Will Say To Me

Me: Your dog is getting loose.
Her: But Officer, there is no way it is mine. My dog can't get out of the yard.
I stood and looked at her and all I could think was, man, I wish I had a taser.

Happy Birthday Zelda

Quick Short Movie Reviews

Marilyn

On August 5, 1962, movie actress Marilyn Monroe is found dead in her home in Los Angeles.

Is is that strange to have a crush on someone that died before you were born? I hope not.

New Mask this Year?

When Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson were dating fans of other teams gave Cowboy fans this.

Today it was reported Kim Kardashian Showed up to Cowboy practice to watch boyfriend wide receiver Miles Austin practice. Of course this won't be yet another distraction for the team.

Me and Zelda

I don't get to see her often so I had to post a few pictures and brag on her some. It was hot, but we were having a great time at the Dallas Zoo.

Pam is safe from Zombies

Looking at this advertisement from PETA(People eating tasty Animals), it appears they are saying Pam does not have what Zombies like to eat.

Zelda makes it back to Texas

My parents just returned from Atlanta and had a great surprise with them. My niece ZELDA.

She is on a 2 week trip to visit Grandpa, Grandma, and Uncle me.

Happy 4th of July

Moving

Well I was suppose to move today,a whole month early. My family and I agreed I need to get away from where I live now. My parents helped me pack since I not suppose to lift anything heavy just yet. The movers were to be at my house at 3. At 5 they called and said they could not come today. Glad I still have a month on my lease. They said they would be at the house first thing in the morning. Between the soreness I have from the fall and the fact I hate moving the conversation did not go well. Looks like I will be looking for a different mover.

It is like my life is turning in to the Richard Pryor movie "Moving" Hopefully I not the only one old enough to remember it.

If your going to be dumb...

News after my fall

As the days go by I am feeling a lot better. Now wounded pride is setting in. They say laughter is the best medicine and this video helps me see I am not alone. So this weeks idiot award I give to myself.

On a side note I was catching up on my email today and came across this news story. I guess stairs are out to get ACO's. I truly hope he is OK and I am only making fun of myself.

Animal control officer critically hurt at home

Stafford officer in critical condition after fall at his home

Date published: 6/22/2010

BY KEITH EPPS

A veteran Stafford animal control officer was critically injured Sunday when he fell down some steps at his home, police said.

Dennis R. Ottley, 59, was in intensive care last night at Mary Washington Hospital, Sheriff's Maj. David Decatur said. He was in critical condition.

"We're keeping the Ottleys in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time and we hope everyone else will do the same," Decatur said.

Animal control is under Sheriff Charles Jett, and Ottley is also a sworn deputy.

He has worked for Stafford animal control since November 1990.

Decatur said Ottley's wife called 911 from their home on Leeland Road in southern Stafford at 8:33 p.m. Sunday after hearing a noise.

She found her husband at the bottom of the steps in the basement, unconscious and unresponsive.

Rescue workers rushed him to the hospital.

The animal control division is headed by chief animal control officer Michael Null Jr. and has six officers.

Decatur said it became part of the Sheriff's Office in 1991.

Survived but scared the you now what out of me

I never had to be in ICU until this weekend. They were very nice but I never want to have to go again. Last thing I remember I was walking down the stairs at my apartment. Next thing I know I am waking up strapped down to a bed in a hospital like this guy.

Apparently I fell down the stairs and landed on my head. I am bruised and cut up but somehow I did not break anything. I was so luckily because a man got my phone out of my pocket and called every number in it until he got my mom. If he did not come by and call 911 I would have probably died. My head is still in a pretty good fog and I am sore but at least I am out of the hospital

For all of you who called thanks for caring. I took a pretty good blow but I am still in this game we call life.

No Good Deed Goes Un-Punished

This poor guy stopped where I work to try and catch a chihuahua running across a busy street. The good news is the dog is fine. The pictures tell the bad news.

You can't make this stuff up

"A Balinese teenager caught in the act of intercourse with a cow passed out on Friday when he was forced to marry the animal in a ceremony witnessed by hundreds of curious onlookers.

As the Jakarta Globe reported earlier in the day, Ngurah Alit, 18, an unemployed youth from the seaside village of Yeh Embang in Jembrana, was caught stark naked positioned behind the cow in a rice paddy field.

In his defence, Alit admitted to the act of bestiality but claimed the cow, which he believed was a young and beautiful woman, had wooed him with flattering compliments.

As part of a Pecaruan ritual, a ceremony to cleanse the village of the unholy act of a man mating with a cow, Alit was forced to “marry” the animal.

Alit, however, according to Detik.com, passed out surrounded by locals and police, who were attempting to prevent a number of journalists from covering the spectacle.

It is unclear whether or not he got to say “I do.”

Alit’s collapse prompted his mother to begin screaming hysterically, while other family members shouted at photographers not to take pictures.

“Poor kid. He’s actually a quiet kid,” said one villager.

As part of the ceremony, Alit’s victim and new bride was drowned in ocean.

Alit, on the other hand, was symbolically drowned and bathed on the beach.

“Only his clothes were thrown into the sea,” the villager said.

Village chief Ida Bagus Legawa declared that the village had been “cleansed” from the “defilement from the incident.”

Summer = Crazy People

As the temperatures go up here in Texas, so do the number I crazy people I deal with at work. Found this and it made me laugh so I thought I would pass it along.

Volunteer Animal Control Officer

It is the time of year when we start receiving reports of dogs left inside a parked car. With the high temperatures we get in Texas this can sometimes become a huge threat for an animal. By the time I arrive to something like this outside temperatures as well as the tempers of people have usually risen.I always try and act professional with people when I respond to any call, but it was nice to find this from some caring volunteer on the window of a car.

Eyewitness

You can find all types of research and opinions about eyewitness reports online.You can read up on the subject and create a dissertation . I will save you some time and trouble.

I spoke with a lady who still believes this is an injured dog laying on the side of the road that was hit by a car. She saw it at the location and it is a dog to her. Besides from what she says she sees, she did not appear to be under the influence of any type of substance.

Its true, our parents become our kids.

30 something years ago : Hey son, get that plastic bag off your head before you suffocate!

Year 2010: Hey Dad, get that plastic bag off your head before you suffocate!

Think I am going to have to go out and buy my Dad a hat.

Who would dumb a puppy?

Found this girl today like this tied to a fence. She was left on someone elses fence. Where she is at, is not the owner of the dog. Basicaly, someone decided since this house had other dogs in the backyard they would adopt the dog. Whoever you are who did this, you are an Idiot!
