Hey Gov. Inslee: Where's my medal for saving dog from well? Twitter Facebook Reddit - FOR  your  DOGS  :   i\'m  suffering  a great  little medal envy  soon after  reading today's news  of the  latest hero  within  Washington.

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee  features   given   single   connected with  his Washingtonian  of any   date  medals  in order to   a good  dog. What yanks  MY PERSONAL  leash  can be   that this  dog  carried out   ones  same heroic  ASSISTANCE   Just like  little ol' me,  exactly who   achieved it  nothing  inside  return but  a great  ribbing  coming from   MY  wife  about  how much  when i  stunk.

Tillie,  the  Irish setter-spaniel mix, led helpers  to be able to  save her Basset hound friend  soon after   It  wandered away  via   their  Vashon Island home last month.  AND  fell  in   an  cistern.

Good dog!

But where's  OUR  medal, Mr. Governor,  for  going  in   a   nicely   to help  save  OUR  English setter  after   an  long, gut-wrenching search?

To save  THE  favorite hunting companion,  i  had  for you to  jump  in to   the  stew  associated with  water, mud  and also the  organic matter  involving   some other  critters  The item  had succumbed  in the  ranch-country pit.

The dog  AS WELL AS   when i  both scratched  THE  way out mucked up  by  head  in order to  toe.

My wife gave  MY  setter, Scout,  2  baths.

I had  to be able to  strip  for the  garage  IN ADDITION TO  promise  to pay   your  big  bucks  I'd been saving  pertaining to  political candidate campaigns  on   a great  GPS collar  before   transporting   ones  dog hunting again.

Despite  MY PERSONAL  ordeal  -  not even  a  pat  on the  back  because of the  Guv.
