well honorary as of this afternoon

I had to stop and get gas after I picked the monkeys up from daycare and they were in their car seats. A huge SUV pulled up next to us at the gas station that was a State Trooper K-9 truck. An older man got out and of course Simon barked at him. This man was so nice, he walked right over to the car, stuck his hand in the window and was petting Simon when he said:
"Would you like an application to be in the academy little one?"
I laughed so hard, it was just the cutest thing ever. The man told Simon he was a good alarm system for me and he could be an honorary K-9 trooper doggie
