Terror Threat

It is a well established fact that the biggest threat the Saratoga Animal Shelter faces is hot air balloons. When the balloons fly over, the Threat Alert at the Shelter goes into maximum overdrive and everyone barks incessantly. Today the threat came at 6:42 am while I was sleeping from the south and east facing fronts. Lucky for me, the Pack is vigilant regarding these types of threats to our safety and peace of mind; Sarah, whom I'm surprised can even see the balloons, Clark-even Randi and Earl all participate by being the four most annoying dogs ever. And I can say a lot of things about Randi and Earl, but one thing they are not are barkers. They make special allowance for balloons. They are currently all passed out after protecting the domicile from hot air threats.
Additionally, yesterday I purchased my ticket to go see Tim McGraw and Lady Antebellum!! I'm going to go with Gretchen and Buddy. Besides being named Buddy, my second favorite part about Buddy is that he's a fire fighter and I am always hopeful that Buddy will invite some of his hot fire fighter friends whenever I'm around. Several times I've been out and about and seen a group of hot fire fighters and thought, please let Buddy be with them, please let Buddy be with them, because then I would have reason to walk up and be like Hey, Buddy, how's it going? Who're these fine young men here? But unfortunately Buddy is never around when there is a group of hot fire fighters.
