The Big Red Whistle Test
Patrol route inspection time! Down near the coiled blue garden hose, a bright red plastic whistle sat half-tucked in the mulch. A true officer tool! I scooped it up with both paws, dusted off the dirt, and brought the mouthpiece right to my nose for a good sniff. Plastic and sunshine! I puffed my cheeks and blew as hard as I could into the hole. Pfffft! Just a tiny gust of air and dry pine needles dancing across the flagstones! No loud squeak, but it fits my grip perfectly. Official gear acquired!
