Sally Says

Chief of Security
Hello human and canine fans. Okay, maybe I don’t have fans yet like Buck did, but a girl can dream. Writing this article is one of my first official duties as the new Chief of Security. I know I have big paws to fill. Mom saved me the day before I was going to ride the needle, so I owe her my best. She and the old Buckster have tried to train me. Sometimes I go along and sometimes I don’t. Without Buck here to keep me on my toes, I have a lot of lessons to keep up with on my own:
- Protect Mom and our work friends. Check!
- Look big. No sweat, I am big.
- Catch rays by the front door. Relaxing is a challenge, but I'll try.
- Don't "cry wolf" by barking at every passerby. Easy for Buck maybe.
- Don’t eat the mail man, UPS man or FedEx guy. Rules, rules, rules.
- Don’t beg for food. Or as I like to think of it: Don't let Mom catch me begging.
- Don’t jerk Mom around on walks. I can’t anyway with that stupid choke collar. Besides, I'm just looking out for her. Can't be too careful.
- Don’t be unfriendly to office visitors. How can anybody tell the bad guys from the good guys with everyone wearing masks these days?
- Don’t bite other dogs. Rome wasn't built in a day.
- Don't lean out the car window and startle the panhandlers. Workin' on it. See "Rome."
- Be nice to Dr. Buzzetti. Be nice to vets AND mail men? C'mon!
- Don’t be a pill on Halloween. I never actually bit a kid last year, and I wore that cat costume. Dress me up like a Great Dane next year and it's a deal.
I know Mom misses Buck and expects me to shape up, so I'm working on earning my keep. But my old life was tough. I was tied outside and didn't feel loved. Sure, I'm well loved now, but getting over my issues and settling into my new gig is going to take time. While I practice, maybe you all can send me some encouragement about how to be a kinder, gentler Chief of Security. See you next month! Sally
