$42 Perfume Stolen
MEDFORD, Ore. -- From the opening act to the hot-pursuit chase to the grand finale, the Three Stooges couldn't have choreographed a foiled shoplifting attempt in Medford any better.
It began when a Fred Meyer's worker spotted a man snatching a $42 bottle of Calvin Klein perfume and stuffing it down the front of his pants. The man left the store, but security caught up with him just as he jumped into the frigid waters of Bear Creek.
When the 33-year-old suspect emerged from the creek, he made for some baseball fields. What he didn't know was that the fields were the training grounds for the Medford police department's K-9 units.
Police dogs Tiko and Rudy, along with their handlers, were honing their crime-fighting skills. The dogs found the suspect almost immediately, and he surrendered.
I loved the story which made me smile as I could imagine you wanting to hang from the ceiling. I always said my Natasha thought she was a lap dog @ 85 pounds. Plus she had a habit of sitting on my feet with her back to me whether I was standing or sitting. It was real peculiar. She made a good traveling companion sitting on the passenger side - did not need a CCW. :o)
The reason I lose as many cases as I do is that most of my clients are about as bright as this guy.
This perp gets the "Sandy Berger Perp Award"!
Doggie Ping...
GOOD DOGGIES!
From the frying pan into the fire...
Did not plan his escape well at all.
~~~Bummer~~~
I just love these stupid criminal stories. rofl
Having trouble with that visual. :o) Does he turn around a few times before sitting? How old is he?
He's a rescue dog, about 7 years old. When he sits that way he has his behind firmly in the center of my lap and his front paws either on the left arm of the chair or a little farther down on my thighs. Either way it's a bit uncomfortable, sort of like your dog's sitting on your feet and pushing back while you were standing up. The strange thing about large, friendly dog who are adopted by people who appreciate them is that they all seem to develop endearing, silly personality traits.
Now I have a Bischon Frieze, and a Jack Russell. They get along well except lately the Jack entertains herself by pulling the Bishon's hair out - and the Bischon lays there and lets her do it....he seems to enjoy it. So I am having to keep them separated. I asked the vet and he had no idea - said maybe stress related? I don't think so - think they are turning weird on me. Any ideas?
There are several here on FR who will agree with you that Dobermans are the "best sweetest smartest" dogs ever. Ours is a precious gift who is a joy every day.
Strange as it may seem to people who are not owned by Dobermans, ALL the Dobermans I know have been extremely tolerant of children, and they are better socialized to children OR adults than almost any other breed I've encountered. Ours has to sit with some part of her touching some part of us, and she feels the closer she can get, the better, LOL! It's sometimes hard to explain a 90-lb lap puppy!
Thanks for the sweet story (or stupid criminal story) ping!
Got pictures to share? I am still enamored with the Dobie breed. I loved watching mine run at full speed, don't you? - just beautiful in their power.
Oh TELL ME about it. My Ursa still thinks she's that 5 lb puppy she was when we first met. She sleeps on the bed, and always has her place on the couch next to me. And then there was the time when, full grown, she launched herself into my lap from across the room. Oy! She's a bundle of love, thankfully.
We (myself, my daughter and hubby) met a couple with a 6-month old male Dobie a few months ago after shopping at the local BJs Wholesale. This little guy (well, he wasn't so little) was already about 20lbs bigger than Ursa (although, strangely, he still managed to look thinner) and such a charmer. He was really taken with my daughter. Yeah, he thought the adults were cool, but this little giggling toddler was the coolest thing to him. I've been very impressed with the temperment of Dobies, which is funny--because the rep they have is of really tense, high strung tough guys.
I like the Rottweiler stockiness, though. My Ursa is a block of lead with a head the size of a pot roast (and she's one of the petite ones!)
Bless yer heart...you remembered!
