I was chased by a small dog while riding my bicycle back from the Mayor's office with this week's payroll.  As I started to accelerate to try to outrun the dog, I heard a series of odd honking noises behind me.  I don't know whether they were sneezes or coughs, but whatever it was the dog was having a minor fit of them.  The dog was forced to break off the chase.  May have been a little overexertion there.

You'll have to get a locked strongbox for your bike.

Either that or hire an extra Brinks bicyclist to ride alongside.

Clearly the dog planned to rob you.

Hope it got its wheezes sorted out.

If it wanted to rob me, it picked the wrong time to try.  I had already deposited the week's cash receipts for patron printing, etc. in the bank!

Oh, OK, I thought you said you had the payroll!

Well, that was all in the form of checks.  Any halfway alert teller could have caught him if he'd tried to pass off one of those!

Big smile and deep  laugh to begin the day.  Thank you!

Yes, like the six bikes I saw chained to a sign in Oxford once, that said, "No Bicycle Parking Allowed..."

I dont believe that!  No frat boy or gall at Ole Miss would be able to keep their membership if they rode a bike to the Square!

[mamselle]

Sorry, is there an "Oxford " in Mississippi?

I was referring to the one in the UK...

Artem Dog crossed the rainbow bridge a few days ago.  He'd been off his feed for a few weeks, but the vet could not find anything wrong.  He suddenly started breathing (not panting) ~ 70 times a minute.  We went straight to the doggie ER.  After a long wait, it turned out he had gone into acute cardiac failure.  They tried to diurese him to reduce pulmonary edema, but it seemed his mitral valve had completely failed.  He died in only a few hours.

Mrs Artem is miserable when we don't have a dog, so we got Artem Pup only a few days later.  Between still deeply mourning an excellent dog and trying to get used to having a new puppy underfoot who bites everything, and is still a bit young for much training, emotions at La Casa del Artem are largely mixed, confusing, and running high.

I do hope time heals all wounds.
