Miko’s Job: Security Guard

Courtney wrote recently about all the different types of jobs that dogs can have. It got me thinking about my dogs, and the work they do for me.

Some go a little over the line, asking for autographs while the star is eating or obviously engaged in conversation with someone and taking photos without asking. Then there are those that go too far. Colin Farrell is trying to get a restraining order granted against an ex-lover, Dessarae Bradford. While he was on The Tonight Show promoting his new movie Miami Vice, she was in the audience and attempted to walk on stage. Filming was … Continue reading
