Perimeter Check

A perimeter check of the Saratoga Animal Shelter is conducted daily by General Sarah McWarah and Private First Class Puppy Clark upon their immediate exit from the residence building. The primary objective of the perimeter check is to establish any changes to the perimeter that may have occurred during the cloak of darkness and for PFC Puppy Clark to pee on everything. General McWarah walks along the perimeter of the yard with PFC Clark following and investigates the fence, the chicken wire wired to the fence and the electric wire at the bottom of the fence. General Sarah McWarah performs this duty fastidiously with an attention to detail, which in her younger years used to amount to her escaping with PFC Puppy Clark on her tail. The integrity of perimeter check can be hindered by one of the following:

1. Randi and Earl staring and General Sarah McWarah-thereby breaking her concentration and pissing her off until she barks.
2. Inclement weather.
3. General Sarah McWarah forgetting since she is old. If she forgets the General often does a second perimeter check in the afternoon. Occasionally, a second perimeter check is required even if the General has not forgotten the morning perimeter check.

Safety never takes a holiday.
