Last year towards the end of the tour, our truck driver, Scotty D., got a puppy. His name is Bam-Bam.
This was Bam-Bam last year, when his favorite hiding place was on top of the pedals of the truck.
This year he is a lot older and bigger, and has a new attitude: he is the guard dog of the truck. He does a very good job, although he sometimes takes his job a little too seriously, even when friendly people like us go near the truck.
At a recent load out, I saw him sticking his head out the window, so I took a walk down to the cab to say hello. Even with Scotty there talking to me, he wouldn’t stop barking, apparently declaring that this was his truck, and who the hell did I think I was to stand outside of it?
Scotty says that if you pick him up and hold him he’s still very cuddly, but I couldn’t reach up that high to pet him or pick him up, and I was supposed to be working, so I had to settle for taking a picture of him while he barked at me imperiously from his perch.
Oh my god, so cute! I think its so funny when wee dogs are yappy because they’re small and are trying to make up for it :)

[…] I got those from him, so I can show off his handiwork. The best thing about the above picture is Bam-Bam at the steering wheel, looking very proud of himself. Tags: load-in, tour, truck Comments (0) […]
