Random Observations on Life

Random Observations on Life

Over time, owners do resemble their dogs!


This is a blog about a dog. Well not really. This is the more about the ramblings of the dog's dutiful owner, Blue's Dad. Although Blue might be the backdrop of this whole experiment, there's no telling where this trail will lead me. I apologize ahead of time for the randomness of my observations. I've always tended to color outside the lines.

Blue as a Security System

A couple of salesmen came to my door recently selling security systems.

I listened patiently to their pitch (I haven't got my No Soliciting sign up yet). As they started asking their sales questions assesing my needs, the conversation went something like this:

"Do you currently have a security system?"

"Yes"

"Do you mind if we ask which security system it is?"

"It's BLUE"

"I don't believe I ever heard of that system, how long have you had it?"

"I've had BLUE about ten years."

"Well, it might be time to update your security system."

"Naw, BLUE works just fine"

"How much do you pay for BLUE?"

"It varies"

"Well I'm sure our system is more up to date."

"BLUE let me know when you two guys were walking up the sidewalk. Can your system do that?"

"Well, no....... BLUE can do that?"

"Yep, so if you fellows don't mind, I think I'll just stay with BLUE."

As they were leaving Blue slipped out the door and followed behind them. I called to him, "Come on, Blue".

As my dog came back in the house, one of the men looked back at me as if to say, Now I get it, you idiot.

Good dog, Blue.

We use to have a security system. Our brand was Paco. We no longer have that system, but it worked very well.It worked like a charm for 9 years. The kids want to get a new security system sometime. Shari is just about over losing the one we had. Hopefully the next one will work just as well. Kelly also lost his security system a few months back. He had his for close to 13 years.
