Repeat afer me:
THE POLICE ARE NOT MY FRIENDS
THE POLICE ARE NOT MY FRIENDS
THE POLICE ARE NOT MY FRIENDS
(apologies to your husband, the police officer)
One other thing. Put yourself in his shoes. A tropical storm just came through, there is a lot of damage everywhere. Many people are without power. He is going around making sure people are safe. Probably watching out for looters, checking on old people to make sure they stay cool, and keeping people from coming in contact with power lines. Suddenly, he has to stop all this and go to the scene, over... a dog.
Given this scenario, you really need to ask what you should do? Isn't it obvious?
Sorry, but if it were obvious..I wouldn’t have wasted everyone’s time. But thank you.
And a good angle it is. Thank you.
The family that took him in initially had a vet check to see if he was micro chipped. They called shelters..as did we..and no one had reported the dog stolen/missing.
He actually feels the same way. He left traditional law enforcement after many years and works as a LEO on the military facility here. It had more to do with who he worked with daily versus the calls he had to answer. *sigh*
You are right.
I had some good advice but after reading that you were running around the neighborhood in your pajamas I am afraid I can’t help. Just wouldn’t be prudent.
:-)
Something doesn’t pass the smell test here. Let me confirm: Is your husband a sworn police officer? In the town you live in?
He works for the Naval Air Station..in the town that we live in. No jurisdiction outside of that. He doesn’t work for the county or the city. However, he was a police officer in the city that we lived in prior to this move.
I completely understand;) I had no idea that it would be such an influential factor. *sigh*
