Dog Rocks




I just love the series "Dog, the Bounty Hunter" on A&E. I love Dwayne Chapman, his wife Beth, and the rest of his family. It's a reality show where Dog and his team go after criminals who have violated their bail. Even Beth. She's one cool mama. They also own a bail bond shop in Honolulu. It's kinda like Cops. But it goes a little further than cops, as it also shows aspects of the Chapmans family life. Apparently, Dog has about a dozen kids by several different women. (!) Some are little kids, and the older ones are grown. One of his boys, Leland, is a costar of the show, and he's really good looking. Dog has a soft side for a bounty hunter, and he treats most of the people he catches with respect, and tells them they gotta clean up their acts. Everyone usually ends up crying, including Dog. And before they go after someone, they all hold hands and offer a prayer. I love this show.

Okay, here's the funny thing. Sunday Marco had a golf tournament and he was gone all day. It was hotter than hades outside, so I decided to just veg out in front of the t.v. I called mom to see if she wanted to come over, and she said "yes". Well, there was a "Dog" marathon on, and I think it was 3 hours long. How cool was that!! We caught it at the beginning, and we watched ALL of it. It ended with Dog's wedding to Beth. I guess they've been together like 15 years or so, and decided to marry. This was a rerun, as they were married in May of 2006. But all in all, I think mom enjoyed it very much. At first she said, "what the heck are you watching?" I explained the particulars, and she settled in and got hooked also. We had a pretty good day just goofing off. Before she left (after a late dinner) she asked again "Now what channel is A&E?"

Right now Dog is having problems with our government .... it has to do with him going into Mexico and apprehending rapist Andrew Luster, and getting in trouble as bounty hunting is illegal in Mexico. Even tho' Mexico dropped the charges, the U.S. is giving him crap about it for some reason that I haven't had time to read up on. But I will. He was on one of the CNN stations yesterday with his attorney, and I just caught the very end of it. Rats.

So....just wanted to relate that a person is never too old to enjoy good television! We had fun hanging out all day watching Dog. We especially liked the wedding.....I think Grandma is a real Dog Chapman fan now.
Also just wanted to mention the horror out in Utah. What a nightmare; my heart goes out to everyone caught up in the tragedy. Prayers to all concerned.

That's it for Friday folks,
You keep cool Columbus.....
