ve the unsubstantiated baseless bad information and cliches too many people spread about pit bulls and other dogs posted by kevin j hosey at 3 15 pm 2 comments monday june 16 2014 fox on the run you might say that we are an urban family living in the city of buffalo and our dog harold being lost and found here thanks to the city of buffalo animal shelter so country visits are cool and taken advantage of by all they are also rare and mainly consist of val s weekly during the summer and spring therapeutic horse riding sessions at the rivendell recreation center on south wales while val does her therapy session harold and i take a long country walk on the surrounding rolling country roads saturday is the day for val s horse riding and this saturday appeared to be a fine day for a walk cloudy hopefully the rain would not come a bit cool and breezy but still with the temperature in the 60s so neither harold nor i would feel too hot or tire too fast happily it also meant that i didn t have to wear a hat after harold and i walked val over to the stable and into the fine hands of the staff and volunteers at rivendell and these volunteers and staff are simply incredible people off we went over the lawn and onto warner hill road warner hill road like the other roads in this rural area is rolling lanes through mostly farms and horse stables often both along with houses many old but some new builds we take one of two basic routes and this day we took warner hill road about 3 4 of a mile maybe a bit longer to merlau i do not want to hear one joke about fox news road we turn down merlau road with a couple more homes but still very large properties and some farming which heads mainly downhill at first harold and i usually go about 3 4 of a mile before heading back making our walk about 3 miles taking about 50 minutes and perfect timing for when val s session ends harold is in his glory during these country walks with all of the scents and smells from animals birds crops horses cows and the like of course with a lot of attention paid to the waste left behind by the animals harold also enjoys actual appearances by these animals as well as some aquatic life but about a half mile down merlau we encountered even more interesting scents first a mound of brown fur kind of taken apart then a larger pile with what appeared to be dried blood the stench was incredible that of a dead animal before we found anything more while harold was busy sniffing the fur something caught my eye a couple of yards down the road i looked up and saw a red fox crossing from our side of merlau to the other just then harold looked up and saw the fox first stiffening his back and then starting to pull me toward the fox the fox looked at us noticed harold and took off across the street and was last seen leaping into the tree line harold tried pulling more until i told him that we weren t going to chase the fox and then tugged once on the leash and he followed me we started to walk back but noticed the smell had become even worse and in a couple of steps we came across the rest of the carcass of a woodchuck smelling to high hell and teeming with maggots harold of course wanted to investigate further but i convinced him otherwise and we returned to rivendell in a few minutes harold maintained his usual short attention span theatre while i kept looking along the tree line and fields for the fox we did get to see who i believe is the same red winged blackbird we see every week we walk this way fly above us a couple of times and land on a utility pole upon our return harold once again enjoyed the smells of the horses and stable and val continues to tell him that they are kind of like really big horses posted by kevin j hosey at 11 46 am 0 comments wednesday june 04 2014 famous green raincoat chance encounters with objects as well as people often lead to the best memories i was taking some bedding from the washing machine to place on the back porch railings to dry our dryer has decided to stop heating the air it puts out and i had to walk through the room the porch connects to a storage room of sorts in that room among old toilet fixtures and coffee makers for which accessories are no longer made is a metal clothing rack on wheels about 5 feet high with some classic items on it most notably may be my wife val s beloved sweet home high school letter jacket but what caught my attention was the dark green rain coat that i inherited from my late father edward and i believe that he bought it new which means it could have been any time from the late 940s after he graduated from grover cleveland high school or the early 1950s after he returned from his u s army korean war service after i hung up the laundry i had to go back and check out the coat again a coat which i pressed into service mainly for two destinations reasons the first thing i did as i took the coat off the hanger was look for and find the inside pocket patch which reads hengerer s the store for men while a bit stained and in need of dry cleaning the coat at least no longer has the cigarette smell it took on from my time wearing it to the continental for those of you not from buffalo the continental was the number one punk new wave and alternative night club for both live and dj music at 212 franklin street i loved wearing the coat because it took on a real cool dark green black sheen in the less than ideally lit continental and several people at times said it gave off a mod look surprising because if anything i was more of a rocker or punk although in reality really a nerd or geek as i put on the coat which still fits remarkably well and i didn t even have to inhale to make it fit i remembered the first times i wore it in public not for regular wear at the time but on stage in musicals at lancaster central high school and the lancaster summer playhouse particularly in high school the shows we performed were 1940s 1950s influenced on the town how to succeed in business without really trying and bye bye birdie and this was something that looked right in place and actually impressed some of the directors i also remembered that my mother sheila was the first person to recommend i wear my father s jacket as well as some suits in my high school musicals as just about every male high school student in the 1970s would do i hemmed and hawed and thought it would look stupid and had to sheepishly agree with my mother how good and in period they looked while my father sometimes had difficulty being overly expressively with my late brother brian and i during our adolescence and i assume with my sister heather as well although he could say he was leaving that to my mother he later came up smiled and said that the suits and coat did look good on me and that regardless of how they looked my mother would have won the argument if i can get a decent photograph of the coat or me wearing it i will post it here posted by kevin j hosey at 4 56 pm 0 comments tuesday may 20 2014 when you run with the canines photo val dunne barkloud productions in this corner me the author alleged human being 6 foot 3 about 210 pounds maybe closer to 200 pounds due to unemployment weight loss in the opposite corner harold dunne hosey a pit bull cane corso mastiff blend canine about 3 feet tall weighing 64 pounds apparently 60 of them muscle it wasn t supposed to be a contest match or squaring off of any kind when harold and i went into the backyard at about 6 p m monday just a normal relief visit for harold and some playtime for us but as it turned out the clash of titans occurred and you can guess who won hint not me to get as much physical activity out of harold as possible and to get his pent up energy flowing i like to play stalk and chase harold we both know that there is no way i will ever truly sneak up on him or even more unlikely catch him but it gets harold running and sometimes he really cranks it up in the spare property we have one of the games is for me to sneak up on him as he looks out the front fence at the sidewalk and street he either goes to the left corner bordering our neighbor s property or the right corner adjacent to our front porch the left corner is on the lawn the right corner on the concrete driveway monday he went to the right and was standing on the driveway so i snuck up on him he was actually just barely looking over his shoulder at me and starting to get into his hunch from which he sprints away sometimes he goes around me by several feet while other times he comes close to me as if to get the most excitement by barely avoiding me this time he waiting just a touch longer than usual with me about 15 feet away instead of 20 feet and chose to run very close to me unfortunately for me he turned even sharper than normal and ran straight for me i barely was able to kind of yell out oh before harold ran into me and sent me airborne while some people have remarked that the low center of gravity caused much of this there is no way i would have been sent into the air simply because of this it would have been more likely that i tripped and fell face first i went up and started to twist a bit somehow as i was coming down and this all happened within a couple of seconds something told me to turn and shift my head or shoulders so i wouldn t hit my head on the concrete and really cause some damage the experience of having all of this seem to happen in slow motion allowed me to prepare but that s prepare not prevent because i landed and landed hard fortunately i was able to prevent my head from hitting the driveway it hit the chain link fence and while it didn t feel great no cut or bruise was caused i landed mainly on my right knee hands and posterior and the wind was knocked out of me and some pain was felt in my rib cage i landed slightly on harold who barely moved when we collided and who was unhurt what harold was was concerned and a bit scared for me he pushed my with his nose a few times to see if i was ok licked my face and sat against me very concerned because i was out of wind i was gasping for air and took a few moments to be able to force out a few words telling harold i was ok and that i appreciated his concern and protection he seemed to calm down and licked my face again and stood against me until i finally stood up after checking to see if i had been otherwise hurt we made our way to the back door a bit slower than usual with me still gulping for air and sounding rather pained as i spoke a final inventory of injuries shows a brush burn about the size of a quarter on my right knee bruises and scrapes on my hands as well as the pain from the ligaments around the thumbs and some pain in my ribcage but the pain was much less than i expected and much less than when i torn some tendons or cartilage there when i had bronchitis a few years ago and i can lift my arms above my head without pain i do have to sleep in one position and not on my side for a few days there is some pain when i bend or pick something up but ibuprofen is handling it harold has been doting on me since the collision and happily suffered no injuries talk about a muscular head and shoulders posted by kevin j hosey at 10 34 am 3 comments friday april 04 2014 how not to gain my petition signature just in case you haven t had the glorious opportunity to do this here is some advice to people helping candidates get on the ballot don t argue with a person whose signature you are seeking to get on the petition on the clipboard in your hands during harold and my walk today friday as we approached anderson while walking down elmwood avenue a man about age 30 crossing the street looked at me and shouted are you a registered voter in the city of buffalo of course i said yes noting the clipboard and apparent petitions in his hand he said that he was seeking petition signatures to get the name of a person on the ballot as a candidate for the buffalo board of education i did not recognize the candidate s name male so i said that i would like to know something about the candidate before i signed and wanted to ask a couple of questions before i could ask any the man said that he didn t know any of the candidate s stands on issues but that it didn t matter because my signature would only qualify the candidate to get on the ballot and not indicate my support or be a vote for him i told him that i still wanted to know where the candidate stood on certain issues before i committed my name signature to him and that i very well knew what petition signatures meant and indicated because i have been a democratic committeeman on buffalo s west side for about 10 years and have collected thousands of petition signatures the man replied that it didn t matter repeating his previous arguments and saying that i should be supporting and allowing alternative candidates and views to be aired to the public i replied that i had no problem allowing varying candidates and their ideas to be aired but that if i was going to sign my name to a petition to get a candidate s name on the ballot i wanted to know something about that candidate as well as the fact that voters can only sign a certain number of candidate petitions for any office thus i wanted to make my voice count i asked if this candidate had a web page the man said no but said that he had a facebook account i could check when i got home i tried to look but i could not find a facebook page under the name on the petition or a slight variation of the first name the man looked at me and said so you re saying that you don t want to allow mr x the candidate whose name i won t reveal because he did not act in this manner to be able to get on the ballot and voice certain opinions no sir i did not say that i said i will not sign my name to a candidate s petition without knowing something about him or her which you can t even tell me the man gave me a very loud have a good day and walked away throughout this time harold was incredibly well behaved sniffing and looking at the man and me but as the other guy left the pup muttered under his breath you know dad just give me the signal and i ll pee on the next person who does that posted by kevin j hosey at 7 21 pm 0 comments thursday april 03 2014 thoughts on canines and porches while harold and i were on our extended walk around buffalo s west side today two items caused this anal self possessed geeky writer to take notice one was more an annoyance as we proceeded down richmond avenue from west ut harold say relax ica street toward bryant street a male about age 40 50 was riding his bicycle on the sidewalk toward us besides being annoyed at someone riding their bike on the sidewalk particularly when there are dedicated bicycle lanes in both directions on richmond as we approached the man stopped got off his bicycle stayed on the sidewalk and pretty much in our way and just stared with fear in his eyes at harold harold a pit bull mastiff couch potato blend barely turned his head to look at the man...
