Canine Counselling
Had to commission a canine intervention with a Clinical Psychologist (OK , my daughter who is good with people and animals) to console Mr D who was distraught upon learning that OUSA planned to exclude his ilk from O-meets. This guy is a serious party animal who loves to meet peeps in pyjamas and partake of the party-like atmosphere at post A meet parking lots (he's a dab hand at alliterative prose as well). He had urged me to write to OUSA and implore them to open a new chapter for K9-0 (alt. Four-0) that would expressly allow for control hunting in packs. I said to him, hence his dismay, that OUSA had better things to consider; such as how to support and invigorate post-collegiate competitive Navigation Racing in this country (including but not limited to Coaching, training support etc) so as to render this a legitimate athletic event in the eyes of .... well I guess the general populace (? ) or at least to find a way to overcome the unfavorable to O collegiate environment.
Anyhow, lest I be accused of engaging in Op-Ed satire through canine eyes, better get off to my day job :)
