Confessions of a Police Officers wife!

I try really hard to pull off not being a worrier about the whole Police Officer's wife thing. But honestly, some days it is really tough. Some nights as he leaves the house, and I kiss him goodbye I realize that it could very well be the last time I see him. Or, as I lay in bed I can imagine him chasing some psycho down a long alley, and something horrible happening. For the most part though I can keep a level head and think through how well trained he is and what good backup he has behind him. Most of the time that works!

This week though he has done TWO things that just put me past my limit of not worrying! He "got" (as he puts it) to go undercover this week, on burglary patrol. Which is just a fancy way of saying he drove around in a dumpy van, in plain clothes looking for car burglaries, and suspicious people in alleys and such. This kinda freaked me out. I don't know why it worried me more, it just did!

And then..... (suspenseful pause), he volunteered to be a decoy for the Canine unit. Which means he gets to be the bad guy during their training, and get chased around by angry dogs! Sounds like fun huh!?

Believe it or not they look worse than this today. He had a bite suit on, but some of those jaws still got to his arm. OUCH! What is he trying to do?? Give me a stomach ulcer! I don't know, don't ask me.
