Jury Duty – Day 1
As I said yesterday, my human and I
have been summoned for jury duty. I’m pleased and humbled – and just thrilled
with the prospect of serving. As you know Border Collies have a great sense of
duty and a work ethic second to no man or beast.
We appeared Wednesday morning, and had
to pass through a metal detector. The sheriffs at the door normally wouldn’t
let a dog into the building, but they could tell at once what a noble animal I
am; so they let me in, no questions asked.
I must state for the record that I
understand their “no dogs in the courthouse” policy. Can you imagine the
trouble Astro would cause if he were ever allowed inside? He’d chew up
everything from the attorney’s briefs to the briefs that the defendants were
wearing. And he’d probably bark and he'd slobber all over everyone’s faces.
As for Buddy, he’d just lift his leg
and pee on the judge.
If more dogs were allowed on juries, we'd have a lot less crime
