Omar Blue is his name. He’s a 120-pound blue Doberman. He lives at home with his dad and me, but just part of the time. The rest of the time, he goes off to a land with no name, to a town that he and his fierce pack of canine followers call K-9 Town, USA.
I’m finding out that a good pack leader’s job is even bigger than I thought. At least in the case of Omar Blue at K-9 Town.
Omar often tells me
Of walks he takes alone
While at his beloved K-9 Town
We don’t know why.
He says he’d walk for hours
And sometimes be gone all day
To see what threats await his pack
Or to handle them in his own way.
He says it’s just a thoughtful stroll
But I know that’s not quite true
He’s looking for signs of danger
I wish the others knew.
His pack would be right by his side
Rain, sleet, sun, or snow
But then it wouldn’t be such a thoughtful stroll
So I guess they need not know.
Join Omar Blue and his pack at K-9 Town. Read about their life and adventures at this refuge for abused and lonely canines.
