I’m surrounded by goobers
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
There’s something in the kudzu, folks.
Normally semi-intelligent people are taking a left turn into Dumbo-land. You can’t even find a haven at home without some nitwit shooting their mouth off without doing their homework—hence one of the neighborhood Bozoettes walking her dog, the same one that gets out and runs up to you on the street which, by the way doesn’t bother me at all.
The same nitwit, walking her dog, comes face to face with Roxy the Rottweiler. Of course, Rottweilers are Satan’s best friend and known to be affiliated with Al Qaeda and several other organizations, all bad ones. Roxy happens to be an 85- pound Rottweiler who’s just here for the beer. We took her from a rescue group and she has become a pretty mellow dog. She’s inside the fence but every once in while we brush her outside and she likes to run in circles and then back towards the front door because she thinks she’s entitled to our bed.
Well, she was on the first lap when Ms. Bozoette came up the hill and saw her. Now she justifies her actions here, based on her husband’s extensive background of medical service and his horrific Rottweiler tales of how Rottweilers have torn apart the limbs of the humans in their attempt to dominate the world. After all, we all know that Rottweilers have been involved in everything from the failed Bay of Pigs invasion to the entrapment of Larry Craig, who was caught in a little “Tearoom Trade” a while back.
Although Triumph the Insult Dog is said to be a Yugoslavian Mountain Hound, he looks very similar to a Rottweiler and probably consults them. Thus the Axis of Evil connection.
As the neighborhood Bozoette passed by our house and offered her less-than-two-cent opinion, Detective Sandy and I politely offered our opposing view and something about the horse she rode in on. The fact is, we saw the dog and took offense to her embellished-to-the-point-of-fiction fairly tale. She waddled off visibly upset that she got more than she bargained for in return. Apparently she’s used to dishing out cheap shots without a return.
Guilt by association is a theory of an ignorant person, even when it involves dogs. In my 31-plus years in law enforcement, I can’t recall working a bite case involving a Rottweiler. Sure it’s happened, but to be honest with you. I’m more leery of fools with big mouths than I am of dogs.
She should feel lucky we didn’t have the Shih Tzu out there. She’ll bite you and then steal $40 from your wallet.
