How many of you have had this experience ? You are hurrying along a lonely and dark street very late at night, minding your Ps and Qs when suddenly what looks like a mountain lion springs from a bush at you with a terrible roar.

This applies especially on the first Sunday of each month when the Centerville Newsette is delivered. Us deliverers dont like a bloodhound getting too chummy nice with us. Sometimes the will work, but not doggie trick always, especially at night. Seriously though, something can and should be done about this doggone situation. .
