We met a friend????
Chris and I were taking our nightly walk around our neighborhood. We were startled when a police officer pulled up next to us, I thought what did we do? He started asking about Vegas and was very interested in getting a dog like him. He has a narcotic dog but his dog is retiring soon because of age. The simple subject of dogs brought us to talk with this man for a couple of hours. He pulled into a nearby parking lot and spoke with Chris and I about many subjects. Some of the topics scared us because he was telling us all the bad places in Orlando and where to stay away from. He took our names to call us about some housing information in his apartment complex. The conversation seemed to never end and he was talking with me about personal stuff when he found out I was an oncology nurse. I found out he had even had a prostate exam, which I did not want to know. So after that subject Chris and I decided we would try to politely excuse ourselves and continue our walk, but every time we tried to excuse ourselves some new subject would pop up and he would talk for another 10 minutes. We wanted to just walk away at some points in the conversation but he was a cop and I would like to stay in good with our neighborhood police officers. By the end of the conversation we came to the conclusion this guy was just really bored. It was an interesting nightly walk.

BECCA LYNN! perhaps that man needed some encouragement and God put you guys there? either way, i agree it probably was a weird situation..at least you know how to get out of a speeding ticket or jail..heaven forbit that would ever happen! but..i know your habits, so i thought i should mention that. i love you dawling! beach? october? camping? ????
hmm....well i at least i understand why he stopped. I mean, a dog as studly (and i do mean STUDLY!) as Vegas would naturally attract all kinds of attention no matter where you go! ;) At least you know have a resource to call when you want to know where the best local doughnut shop is, right? ;)
