I "ha-ha"-ed the first line. Then "he-he"-ed the second one. I was all smiles and giggles until I reached the third line, when I realized I was in front of something much more serious. Something bigger than I could never have imagined. A dog doesn't receive this sort of e-mail, much less from that kind of sender.
What did they want from me? I am just a dog. Plain and simple. So why would Scotland Yard send me an encrypted message? My understanding is that Scotland Yard is a British police force whose main functions are related to the protection of royalty and countering terrorism in Great Britain. However, they don't have jurisdiction overseas. 
Did they suggest that I could be a bridge between the two countries given my dual citizenship, American and Scottish? I've never been part of special operations. I've never been part of an intelligence squad. I always work on my own, doing...well...nothing.
The worst part is that I only could watch the message once. Something about a squirrel they believe could be in the US (?) Very weird message. If I had read it much earlier and saved a copy for my records. I haven't been checking my e-mail as often as I should, you know?. I am extremely busy doing chores, cleaning up and sorting the laundry to reach for the computer or pick up the phone. That's what mailboxes and answering machines are for...At least, that's the way I see it.
...If my short-term memory doesn't betray me, I believe they said there would be more information coming up...Would that be any time soon? How will that message be sent next time? The questions pop up much faster that the answers. All I can do for now is keep my eyes open. If they want me to catch that squirrel I can help but they will have to provide more data. That squirrel maybe closer than I think...
