[Garry Shipton (RIP)]

In closing out this troublesome Xmas thread,forgot to mention last nite's incident.duing my nightly duty walk or shud I say, staggering along with the retriever ,on his nightly walk.Had him on his leash,minding my own business,watching out for the local constabulary with their pretty red & yellow lights on top of their squad car,when lo & behold,a lump of snow hits me on my winter touque.As I look up this fat guy in red lands on the street,and as he does so, I see snow falling off the sled runners.So I yell ,asking, who the H-ll does he think he is-So he retorts ,laughing at me."Ho Ho Ho"!!.Sooo,not wanting to be arrested by our local enemies,I told him that, because he had thirteen golden retrievers with fake antler horns,pulling his sleigh,I & my faithful retriever,being outnumbered, would just go home.Also told him to watch out for the cops, what with that big bag of ,probably Milkbones, in the back of his sleigh,as our cops are wary of such things.Showed that guy!!
