Busted

Macky Rae (my younger male dog) got arrested.

I got the call from the West Richland police in the late evening of the 1st, informing me that my dog was in custody along with several other dogs (and a cat) for suspicion of disturbing the peace and vandalism. And littering.

Macky says they can't make the last charge stick.

For those of you who watched the game, Seattle lost 24-28. The dogs went to a super bowl party for dogs, part of their 12th Dog Association club.

The first clue that something was going wrong is when Freedom and Sarah came home without Macky. I asked, and the said Macky was going to the Zip-E-Mart with some of the other dogs to get a soda. That was another clue as Macky does not drink soda.

The next clue was the phone call.

A few of the delinquent dogs, angered by Seattle's lose, went on rampage. There was an article in the paper. I saved it, in case you missed it:

Police arrested 5 dogs and a cat on charges of malicious activity, and are looking for several more in connection with a string of vandalism that occurred Sunday evening in and around Van Giesen between Bombing Range Rd and the Yakima River. The animals, all wearing Seahawk gear, were identified as members of the "West Richland 12th Dog Association," a Seahawk fan group for dogs. Authorities are not treating this as gang-related activity, as it does not meet the criteria.

The dogs dumped trash cans, knocked over mailboxes, and rolled a GeoMetro with a "Patriots" bumper sticker, apparently in response to Seattle's 24-28 loss to New England.

The dogs, identified by the name tags on their collars, were Rocky, Jake, Spot, Macky Rae, and Chico, and a cat named Freddie. The cat was also a member of the 12th Dog Association, being allowed to join the "dog" group because there is no 12th Cat Association in the area as most cats are not Seahawk fans.

The dogs will appear in district court on a future date.

I had to go down to the station, post bail, and get my dog (as did a few of my neighbors). They had the canines (and a cat) in the holding cell. They were all whining until officer Brookings came in, ordered them in a loud to "Sit!" and then gave them all a treat for being "good dogs."
