The Canine Corner...by Missy MacTavish

Well now we know the best time for a Tornado to sneak up on us…Saturday night. After watching TV and endless hours of logos, crawls, interruptions and their SuperViperWarnMaxDoubleDribblers2 radars the past few weeks, a tornado snuck up on Tulsa last Saturday night near the airport and smushed a motel.
There were no warnings because the weather people take Saturday night off. This is when they go out dancing and partying and no one is in the TV studio except for a couple of technicians who push buttons. So, people, you are on your own Saturday nights. You will just have to look out your doors and windows to see if a tornado is coming.
The weather people's union contracts don't allow for working on Saturday nights anyway. In fact, there is a tiny logo at the bottom of the weatherman's screen that says: "Not responsible for Tornadoes on Saturday night." You probably haven't noticed it because it is very small, but I, with my great vision, can see it. It is also true that I have great instincts and can predict tornadoes. So if you hear me barking Saturday night trust me, one is coming.
Maybe I can get my own TV weather show. I would be known as the Fearless Forecaster and could stand in front of the weather map so you couldn't see it, like the real guys do. I would explain highs and lows and the adiabatic lapse rate.
Until next time, be kind to each other and Bark On. Miss Missy.
