Bruno's stupid dog trick: Turning on and off the pool pump

Every morning at precisely nine minutes to nine, the ferocious dog my wife rescued from the bushes several years ago goes berserk.
It's the moment the pool motor comes up and the vent in the pool bubbles up for a couple of minutes.
Bruno, a pit bull and shar pei mix, apparently thinks he makes the bubbling stop with his incessant barking.

Bruno should get a day job with the K-9 division of the DWP water police.

Wrong again, Wally. As official SLAP mascot - he is the mascot, isn't he? - I doubt Bruno would agree to work for the DWP in any capacity. I think he would view it as a conflict. Besides, he needs to be pool side at 8:51 am to turn the motor off.

Please check with H. David Nahai about pool pump motor time of use. Bet David knows as much about his pool motor hours of operation as he did about his lawn sprinklers. Yeah, the pool man did it...........

The pump goes on, Bruno barks, the bubbles stop and Bruno is convinced he's done something....

Ron Kaye posts, Walter Moore barks, his comment posts, and Walter is convinced he's said something...

Perfect...

Wow. Staffers get bitter when they have to work weekends.

Aww, Walter, don't take it so seriously. I'm just funnin'.... If you're gonna put yourself out there, you've got to expect a little needling...

Small favor. He's not defending his territory from the E-vil pool pump at 3 a.m.

My 3 greyhounds agreed with Bruno, bark for bark. As for me, I agree with Sandy.

My German shepherd agrees with Bruno and Ellen's three greyhounds. The only defense...a vacuum cleaner with its engine running.

Have you seen what your site looks like with google chrome? It looks a little messed up on mine. Is it just me or?

The city's financial crisis, cuts in core services, layoffs of city workers, selling valuable assets, massive subsidies to insiders -- we have reached the point of no return. Only you can save LA. Join the Clean Sweep campaign and come together with people from all over the city to make a difference. Get more information on volunteering your time or contributing to at lacleansweep.com http://lacleansweep.com or contact me at ron@ronkayela.com..

This Sunday, Aug. 29, LA Clean Sweep will provide training sessions from professional politicial consultants to help you become a more effective activist and help candidates mount successful campaigns in the March 2011 or future elections. The sessions will be held at the Mayflower Club, 11110 Victory Blvd., North Hollywood. The morning session from 9 a.m. to noon is for activists; the afternoon session from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. is for potential candidates. Lunch will be provided to all participants at noon.
