“Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: MATTERS ARE NOT WHAT THEY APPEAR TO BE: OUR SECURITY TEAM AND BOB’S GLOCK

MATTERS ARE NOT WHAT THEY APPEAR TO BE: OUR SECURITY TEAM AND BOB’S GLOCK

Bob is fond of saying we inhabit a “modest cottage” on a quiet street in Toronto’s Bridlepath area. Bob and Fay purchased the late musician Gordon Lightfoot’s home and gently renovated it a few years ago. That musician Drake is our next-door neighbour and he visits  for tea once a week when he is not “on the road” performing. Bob and I have been invited once to his private box to watch the Toronto Raptors basketball team play. That half a chicken finger treat I had in the box was AWESOME!

Dylan the Westie and Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog, both now in The Land Beyond, absolutely loved the “Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” sung so soulfully by Mr. Gordon Lightfoot. Bob plays it every so often and I know why those two dogs loved it so much. Well Drake’s music is well…. sort of…  .

Bob and Fay are what humans call “loaded” as Bob made a fortune with his book “Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog” and the two Disney movies bearing the same name. Dylan the Westie, Reggie, The Mookster, Penny and Ollie made many enemies of powerful despots and criminal elements. Dylan the Westie and Reggie died in a politico-criminal hit. Bob was seriously injured in a bomb blast attributed to Tsar Putin and possibly Kim Jong Jughead.

With wealth and fame comes danger and Bob holsters a Glock when outside the home. We have 24-hour security outside the gates of our little cottage. I like Mardeep a 7-foot massive Indian man with a turban and Clive a 350-pound former Saskatchewan Roughriders linebacker.

Bob drives an armour-plated Passat. There is an Uzi in the trunk. What is an Uzi? Sometimes I wish I would grow up quickly so I can stand guard at our front door.
