Awakening

At first glance, Ozzie Anderson would appear to be a normal guy walking his two dogs. There was a time when Ozzie was normal, and he didn't like it at all. To Ozzie, submitting to normality was akin to emotional slavery.

Why would a man with these feelings choose to be a cop? A scrutinized profession to say the least.

Ozzie could follow the rules, he just hated it.

There were rules, and then rules about the rules, and rules about the rules that are about the rules. And then rules for those.

Meanwhile there are times when life sucks, when evil happens.

You discover that there is no safety in numbers...or rules. Rules do nothing for the reality of a dead child killed by a drunk driver. The rules were not helping the convenience store owner, that Ozzie found dead on the floor, having been murdered for money to buy a couple hundred bucks worth of drugs.

Now, Ozzie Anderson is a man who chooses to live his life in his own private reality. He doesn't care what anyone thinks about him, his life or how he chooses to play life's game.

This doesn't mean that Oz is an asshole, although...it really doesn't bother him too much when he is.

Then there is Pedro and Sweetieface. Two dogs you will delight in meeting.

Pedro is a seven year old Black Lab/Doberman with a marvelous intellect...according to Oz. In Ozzie's reality, Pedro talks, rather he thinks, and Ozzie hears.

Sweetieface is a bit of a wonder. A gifted athlete, talented in her affection for Ozzie and Pedro. A three old Boxer, a truly beautiful specimen. Suffice it to say that Ozzie, and Pedro, consider Sweetieface as the protector and enforcer.

As Ozzie has found his Utopia, and in that paradise he is no longer a policeman. The folks of the mountain community of Glenwood Springs Colorado, for now, have embraced Ozzie, and his strange ways.

He enjoys being a detective, although Ozzie will tell you, if you'll only but believe, that Pedro is the Detective.

In this reality, Pedro and Sweetieface do the amazing stuff, and Ozzie is along for the ride.
