What would your job be in Pettalkville ?

[Cougie Wechsler]

From a planning perspective, yes the town would need at least one access road to bring in supplies but it could be located outside the actual town and linked by a enclosed smaller road to link all the businesses to the town. We won't have to let cars anywhere near the pet areas. perhaps we can have slower moving golf carts though!

I'm not sure about "firemen", but aren't we going to need a lot of "fire hydrants" for the dogs to leave their "messages"?

I still want to be a belly scratcher....

[crow_noir]

defintly need fire control engineers (firefighters)

i thought of another job i might like. deciding what people on the outside, are deserving of a home for pets from our no kill shelter.

I think that we will also need a few fundraisers who can come up with brilliant ideas on how to get money to fund our shelter. I work in DTP so I could prepare the promotional materials.

Ok I am ready to pack my bags My hubby will be the network engineer for all of the computers and servers in Pettalkville. He'll also do computer support so no one in Pettalkville will have problems with their computers. And my mom, since she is an administrator of a senior living facility, she could help with all of the elderly animals, she'll provide extra care, special games, and a loving touch to those elderly animals.

I am sticking to my roll of activities director for activities like agility, obedience, freestlyle, tracking, search & rescue, frisbe, and herding and, per Rachel, I will also be the towns' pet nutritionist

Man would this be a dream come true What fun it would be!

Did Phred accept the job of Fire Chief?

[bugmom]

Not to my knowledge, freckles, but in the story i put him in charge anyway! any thoughts on the name change to Peatquawville in the Picturesque Pataquaw Valley - next to lake whoabegone? The story is coming along quite well. its a model town that should be done....... you'll love it Check out the vehicles at www.gemcar.com ....

[Karen]

Gosh I'm not sure it could be in the same valley as Lake Wobegone, as they have pretty wintery winters! We need a valley with winetr just on one part of it, the chihuahuas and many cats just don't like that wet, white stuff! Perhaps you could enter the enchanted valley Pettalkville is in through a secret mountain pass next to Pataquaw Valley!

We got losted an couldn't find the topic after it moved! Cinder here, finally...

Dad sez OhKeeDoKee for takin on Fire & Rescue job. Gonna have to get sum golfey kartz bigger than the wun we're rafflin off to make into Fire Trukz an Amboolancez. An Dad sez we're gonna have PET Amboolancez on dootee 24/7 in case any FurKids or FeatherKids need a ride to the WhiteCoat Lab. We'll need sum Volunteerz what are willin to sleep inna Station wun nite a week so's we got quick response times.

WHAT!?? Dad sez I gotta get shaved an painted or else go out an find a stray Dalmatian for the Fire Mascot position! I'll go find a nudder Stray wiff spotz ~ my standy-up earbonez don't fit so good inna Fire Hat!

As for possible Strays wanderin into Towne, Dad sez we'll build a special wing onna Fire Station wiff extra bunks, lotsa food pans, an easy-open Dawg an Kat doorz so's the Strays will know they're welcome. SmokeMutt wuntz to be the Fishull Stray Greeter, an I'll be his part-time Sistant Greeter ~ since I've got sperience doin that. We'll have a nice Doption Office in that wing, too, so we'll need sum of the Volunteerz to man that office while they're on stand-by for Fire & Rescue callz.

Whut about Kops? We'll need sumbuddie to coordinate sum Shepherds ta patrol the Towne perimeter to keep riff-raff like puppie mill scouts an animal abusers frum eber gettin inside. We're lettin horseys in too, aren't we? Bet the Kops would rather ride horseys than golfey katrz while on patrol.

Oops ~ Now Dad wuntz a team of Fire Horseys ta live inna Station an pull a old-time Steamer Fire Wagon for parades ! He sez we'll accept retired horseys cuz they won't have ta run fast inna parade . They can mow the Station grass fer lunch .

Don't worry, you didn't kill the thread! We're just busy packing to move to Pettalkville!

How wonderful it would be to live in a place where people don't look at you strange when you say you need to hurry home to feed your latest stray or when you remembered your pet treats but forgot the human food at the grocery store!

[AdoreMyDogs]

Hehehehe....LOL....going to grocery store and forgetting to buy human food, only remember to buy pet food LOL....SO funny!!!

And don't worry, Cinners & SmokeMutt...AntiPam is right...we are all so busy packing to move to Pettalkville that we have not had so much time! I think you 2 kids have a great idea about everything...I especially like the idea of retired horses as horsie cops....maybe we can have some sort of team that goes to other *bad* towns outside of Pettalkville and rescues abused horsies and brings them into Pettalkville and makes them big and strong by feeding them and loving them like they deserve and letting those horsies help the cops by walking around the peremiter to make sure no bad guys ever get in! Ya think? And maybe the young, strong ones can have a job one day per week pulling the carrages around....ya know, carrages instead of cars so no pups or kitties (or goats) get hit by cars.

Oh, Cinder, kiddo, you don't need to have spots to be the firestation dog! We think you'll do just fine as is - and we'll of coure make you a fire-hat with holes for your ears! This is Pettalkville! And any spotted dogs that wanna help, well, they can, too, right?

I think the retired horses for parades - and just plain lovin' - is a good idea. And we can love and fatten up rescue horsies to be police-horses.

Maybe we do need a "real" firetruck for emergencies, but I have an idea! Why not, instead of a siren, figure out a "Danger! Danger! run and hide!" bark that the truck can make, and a "run for the hills!" meow, too, so that all the animals will know to stay out of the road when they hear it coming? What do you think, Cinder - could you and Smokey work on the bark-siren, and maybe Boots and some Siamese friends work on the cat one?
