Get this, he is now Car 54
I'm sure you didn't get him any grief about it either.

Do I strike you as the type

He has actually asked dispatch to address him that way now on the radio. I would love to get a scanner, just to hear that.. "Car 54, where are you?"

I also asked which of the two in his car was the bright one, I assumed it was his partner, the dog..

Hey everybody.

Enjoying my President's day off. Slept in until about 11...felt good too. Finally showered and going to head out and about...need a new set of earphones for the ipod. Randy's damn cat chewed the end off my other ones...

Maybe the dog's new nickname can be Officer Schnauser.

Must be nice, the latest I get to sleep is 0830, one of the kids might sleep later than that...but the other one is usually up and making sure one of the parents is aware they're awake. The joys of parenthood...wouldn't trade it for anything; but some days.....

Shoot the thing...a dog you just put what you don't want to take a chance of them chewing on it; as long as it out of their reach from the floor everything is well in the world. Not a cat

My decision not to have kids has been a conscious one up to this point...lol.

The cat has an affinity for chords...loves to chew on them. He looks like the cat from Christmas Vacation, too....

Mattie ate a lamp when I first got her, we haven't had a problem with chewing since.

If you let kitty chew on a 220v power cord it will probably cure the desire to chew cords... Might solve ALL your cat problems actually.

I'm kinda surprised he hasn't gotten zapped already. He's completely chewed through cords plugged into 120v outlets...on things that were turned on.
