The Fall classic.....


Happy Halloween everybody!...With the exception of Christmas, this is the greatest holiday of the year....You gotta love shopping for a costume at your favorite department store and trying on masks....My 16 year old loved the fact I was acting like a complete goof and yelling out "You will respect my author-i-tie!....I was still able to get her to take the pic for me though....Be safe and have fun!

There are just some things you shouldn't do anymore.....














Okay...so I've talked about how much I love my job right?....I get a call about a month ago from a buddy who works at the agency I used to work for....While working there I was an agitator for the K9 unit as back then I had high aspirations to become a K9 officer....For whatever reasons that didn't work out and I am where I am and love what I do....But from time to time I have always helped out whenever they needed an extra agitator for training and what not....So during this recent call he asked me to be an agitator for the K9 trials being held by his agency....I said sure why not?....I remember how much fun it was and being around the awesome power of a police K9....GOOD TIMES!!!!!....It was a great trial and I was the agitator for what they call muzzle work....As you can see in the photos I was the bad guy with a gun and the dogs get to pummel me with there covered snouts and huge front paws....I was originally told I would be in a full bite suit which keeps me from being bruised, scratched, and most importantly BIT!!!....But when I arrived I was informed I wasn't needed for the bite suit but for the muzzle work....(I think it was intentionally given to me like this over the phone so I would agree to help). Unfortunately for me the fun didn't last past the next morning as it took a friggin fork lift to get my beat up 39 1/2 year old body out of bed....Which I am still feeling today and probably will feel until the end of the week....There are just some things you shouldn't do anymore.
