My friend Brutus

[soberups]

Where does it say we can feed their dogs?

The same place it says we can kick the living crap out of their dogs if necessary in order to protect ourselves from getting bitten. I'd rather use biscuits, and I think both the dog and the owner feel the same way.

 

[Catatonic]

This is Brutus.

I met Brutus for the first time one dark night a couple years ago when his owner was gone and I was about 50 yards away from the truck.

When Brutus found out I had biscuits in my pocket, he decided he wanted to be my best friend!

I remember feeling incredibly lucky and grateful for our friendship. Its good to have friends like Brutus. Its also bad to have enemies like Brutus. Boy, I'd sure rather have friends like Brutus than enemies like Brutus!

I have a brand new supervisor who seems to think there is a rule against giving out dog biscuits. I am very excited to get to know my new supervisor, and hopefully on my first OJS I will have an opportunity to introduce him to Brutus so that the two of them can have a discussion about the biscuit rule. Hopefully, the two of them will also become best friends. Because its always good to have friends like Brutus!View attachment 35602

Does management get a letter if they are bit by a dog?

Q: Why did the dog lick its own butt?

A: Because it had just bitten a UPS supervisor and needed to get the taste out of its mouth.

My wife's a vegetarian who inspects everything that gets into the house. She rules the house like this with an iron fist. This includes what our animals eat which is the same as the ones on my route.

isn't that grounds for divorce?

No she's my soul mate. Been with me through thick and thin and fiercely loyal. Loyalty counts for Everything with me.

You would probably make a good union man.

I just got a tray full of home made cookies, because I always give their dog a treat. Card said thank you from Oscar.

I was just kidding. I've got a good wife also although she don't rule the house with an iron fist. Neither of us do.

Here's the deal;

I keep the Prize Box in a tote on shelf 4 behind my handcart.

Any dog that jumps into the truck or approaches me during a delivery is automatically a Prize winner and they get to choose a Prize from the Prize Box.

Life is all about choices, even when you are a dog. I'm sure glad all the dogs on my route make the choices that they do. Its a lot more fun that way.

That reminds me of a Brutus on my route. A Bullmastiff. Huge slobber factory who would come up to you with his tennis ball to throw for him.

I encountered a.....I think they are called American Bulldogs?, that was so big the other day he sounded like his fat was choking him and his ball of choice was a soccer ball.

I used to deliver to a k9 officer's house in a small town. I was on foot and 50 feet from the house when he pulled in the driveway. He yelled stop, my dog will attack you. I smiled as his dog came tearing around the corner charging at me, then sat nicely in front of me waiting for his cookie. The cop was dumbfounded. I looked over at him and said, oh that vicious german shepherd? Yeah we're friends.

Some people need a little discipline.

 

[IPackwood]

I drive a rural route everyone has at least 2 dogs and no one is ever home.So if you don't have treats you don't step out of the truck.My customers buy me treats so I can keep delivering there pkgs.
