I Was Stopped by a Cop Yesterday.

police, traffic stop

When I got pulled over by a Prescott cop yesterday while doing errands, I thought about all the troubles in the mainstream news between cops and blacks. My experience was very different.

I didn’t quite come to a stop at a stop sign.

No violence ensued. I was given a warning, not a ticket. Because I’m white, middle aged, female? Or because I pulled over when I saw the flashing lights? Was polite to the officer who was in turn polite with me? Because I had a valid driver’s license, vehicle registration, insurance card and am not a felon and I don’t have any warrants? I left my gun in my purse and the officer left his in his holster – funny how well things work when everyone behaves in a civilized manner.

Sharing the Chair with a Heater

cold, Dogs, winter

 

A rare moment of sharing between Betty (left) and Stacy. They are on a dog heater (green object) which is like a heating pad. In the evening this is a highly coveted spot, and sharing does not happen often. On this occasion, Betty was on the heater and Stacy jumped up. When Betty started to growl, I moved her to one side and petted her head while Stacy settled in. Then all was peaceful.

Betty dislikes the cold, we got an insulated coat for her this year and it seems to help. When she is on the heater, only her head is exposed. Of course this is indoors and the temperature is in the mid 60’s, so cold is relative. She is not outdoors where it got down into the low teens last night in Prescott.
