All I want for Christmas is a DRAGON
... to TERRORISE the Dog Wardens!
Yes, Smaug the FIRE-breathing dragon from The Hobbit will do. Terrorising the wardens with a dragon will make up for the frustrating fashion in which The Hobbit movie ended.
It would also satisfy my blood lust.
Dog Wardens are NOT my favourite of people.
They WORK on Boxing Day. One would assume that early in the morning on a Public Holiday our beaches would be safe from the little notebooks and all-encompassing gaze of the Dog Wardens.
Not so.
7.30 in the morning and there he is, in his little red van, sitting on the boat ramp
... looking for a source of revenue.
It’s Christmas for goodness sake ... don’t they GET the Christmas spirit??
Where is that fire-breathing dragon when I need it.
It wouldn't ONLY be useful for the Dog Wardens.
There are GOM's and Traffic Wardens to terrorise too.
The Dog Warden left our beach empty-handed this morning though.
We’d already been warned by a mamil, as we headed down from the view-site,
that he’d seen the Warden at Kohi Beach.
(A mamil for those not in the know is a middle aged man in lycra)
Sure enough, the Dog Warden soon arrived!
So we walked the hound ON the beach OFF the leash but IN THE WAVES.
He sat in his little red van and watched us, knowing full-well there was nothing he could do
whilst the hound’s paws were in the water.
She’s such a clever hound. She retrieved ball after ball after ball and dropped them at my feet in the waves. Not once did she put her slightly squiffy doggy paws onto the sand.

It’s not everyday we get to triumph over the Dog Warden.
It’s NOT that I have a problem with people in authority, I just take issue with Wardens who’re more about revenue gathering than law enforcement.
As for that fire-breathing dragon ... I can dream.
