Pugs Reported As Thugs To Bayfield Marshall

Well! We are finally back in southwest Colorado ... and not too soon it seems! When we got back to southwest Colorado, we found this email message waiting for us in our email inbox...

"LK, I don't know how to break this news to you, BUT .... Rob called the Bayfield Town Marshall's office last night (August 11) about 11:00 p.m. and had the Marshall come to the post office and threaten your poor pugs with guns and metal instruments and threats and menaces to make them let Rob get in the Highlander.

"Duchess, Sadie and Ruff were merely trying to give Rob a little life lesson in how it is not too damned smart to leave the car running and the windows up when you go into the post office in the late of night. But, Rob had to make an almost FEDERAL case out of it by calling the Marshall and reporting Duchess, Sadie and Ruff for attempting to prevent him from making lawful use of a vehicle.

"When the Marshall pulled up with a huge gun on his hip and Rob in his car, Duchess, Ruff and, especially, Sadie (being black) were fearful for their physical health and well being and had no choice but to reluctantly roll down the window an inch or so. A tow truck guy stuck a rod in through the opening and got the window open all the way.

"You would have been proud of Duchess, Sadie and Ruff, schooled as they have been by their recovering attorney. They immediately went into their acts as if they were soooo glad to be rescued from a locked up, running vehicle in the middle of the night in the post office parking lot and how WONDERFUL it was to be reunited with Rob (oh, yow). Their award winning performances probably convinced the Marshall that it wasn't their fault but, rather, Rob's, and probably kept them from being thrown in the pokey overnight, or even over the weekend."

So... That is what Ruff was trying to tell this NW Okie when she asked how the girl pugs treated him while we were gone! Ruff the Talking Schnauzer goes into his speaking dog mode and yaps the whole story to us. At least his version of the story. BUT... since this NW Okie is not too fluent in Schnauzer lingo, she was slow to pick up on the language usage, until she finally read all of her emails. Then every little piece of the story started to fall into place. It cracked us so -- we decided to share the story with you all!

If there is a Moral to this story, it would be: "If you leave your car running late at night with the infamous Pugs inside, they will do anything to keep someone from hopping inside and driving the car off ... they will lock you out until you make a federal offense out of it!" Are these Pugs trained... or what?!

This story reminded us of the time that Sadie locked the Highlander doors over at our neighbors and then went out the back hatch door of the Highlander. Duchess isn't much good at jumping over the seats, so she was stuck inside. Not knowing that Sadie had locked the doors, I shut the the back hatch door... not realizing that I had locked Duchess inside -- me and sadie locked outside. Thank goodness it was in the shade and not hot yet... and my neighbor was handy to drive me over to our place so I could get the extra key. So... you see... Rob isn't really the culprit here. The locks are just too dang easy and situated so a dog's paw can lock... or unlock and even work the windows.
