Had a little conversation with a neighbor and his buddy about keeping his dog in his own yard and not mine. And especially would appreciate it if their snarling, growling, fairly large Doberman would not knock my wife down anymore.
I Don't really appreciate humans who are not able to get the idea in their heads, that I do not want their dog fighting with my dogs or chasing my cats or knocking my wife down. I walked up and asked politely if they would please keep their dog in their yard or in their house. The answer I received was not polite in return. I responded by raising my voice a bit and repeating my request. More un-politeness ensued. I responded again with a repeat of my original request and added some color. Again this was not received well. I was then confronted by treetop and stumpy.
Stumpy told me he was an ex-Navy Seal and would kick my ... well... you know. He further elucidated on his man killing ability. Said he could kill me with two fingers. I saw that movie, I think it was Bullit maybe Dirty Harry. He then said he'd take my knife (in my pocket) away so fast I wouldn't even know it and slit my gut open. He then said he would bring his Rottweilers and have them tear me and my wife up. Tree top didn't have much to say. (there were a lot more threats and yelling from Stumpy)
Moments later, the Sheriff's dept showed up.
The officer got out of the car with me standing next to him. Armed with my 1911. He politely asked me to keep it holstered. I smiled and laughed a little bit and assured him I would. He smiled again, and moved to speak with Stumpy and treetop who were getting agitated now. Stumpy yells "he's got a gun!" "He pulled it and pointed it us!" "He was wavin' it around" "He pointed it right at me"! "He can't just walk around like that, with a gun on his hip!" The officer assured him that I could indeed; just walk around like that, with a gun on my hip.
Fairly serious accusations, I'd say. The Officer asks if my wife and I would wait for him and he would get their side of the story. We waited.
Turns out, as the officer pressed his investigation, that Stumpy was not; in fact, a Navy Seal but had been in the Army for "a couple of years" and further, it turns out that I had not pulled my gun as originally accused but had put my hand on it. Oops. Wait, I guess I didn't even have my hand on it. Just resting on my belt. As the investigation progressed, it was determined that they indeed did have to keep their dog on a leash or in the house. They were not happy. Curiously enough Treetops girl had it all on her cell phone, da-yammn.
Moral of the story, There are too many (explicatives deleted) inbreds in the world today. And thank goodness they all have cell phones and aren't afraid to use them.
The threats are a moot point in Buffalo County as they are considered free speech by appointed Judge James J. Duvall . The dog has since been moved. As many of you know, my wife is very ill and now terrified of Treetop & Stumpy. Treetop beat the livin' h377 out of his pregnant girlfriend and is headed for the gray bar hotel once again. Stumpy is new to me but I know his type.
