Life with the Three Crazy Dogs

I took Cooper and Chase to the trails by the woods.  This set of trails are right by the Civic Center where the skating rink, hockey rink, skate board rink, police department and City Hall are.  I thought I let them run free in the woods.  Off the leash and into the trails we went.  Chase loves the trails.  This is the 3rd time he has been in the woods.  This is a small little trails.  I took my usual route in the trail and went down the little path and Urghhhhhhh………@#$%$.  All the effenheimers came spilling out.  Cooper stopped and looked at me.  At least he knows I’m in some sort of trouble.

See that green wire string in the above picture?  Thank goodness for camera phones.

Here is another view of the string or whatever you called it.  That string was tied onto two skinny trees between the path.  I obviously didn’t see it and since I’m short, it caught me right on my throat.   When I got myself back on track, I looked around to see if there were anyone around but there were none.  If there were, the two boys especially Cooper, he is actually a good guard dog, will growl.  I walked away hacking away but then I thought I should take a picture to show it to DBs what I encountered in the trails.  So I did and walked away still rubbing my throat.

Came home, told DBs about it and he said I should call the cops to tell them someone put up the string with no signs of warning.  It was a prank obviously.  He called the cops for me, told them where it was and they said they will go check it out.  I then went out again to walk Ranger, the slow coach, not on the trails coz it was already getting dark by the time we got done with the call to the cops. 

When I got home, DBs said the cops called twice: once to see if I’m OK, if I need to go to the ER and then he said they drove by the trails and saw nothing there.  Hello, we already told them it’s inside the trails.  they have to walk in to the trails to look for it.  Darn cops.  I will go out there when I get off work tomorrow to see if that string is still there.  What an experience!
