..they're really cute but my god you dont half wanna give em back!
Had a hellish day today..
today i got Lenny (my step mums dog) - i left the house at 7 and collected him from Darlo around 8ish, got back to gateshead for around 9 and went to Mattys rents and took Lenny and their dog Becky out for a walk.. Lennys a sharpei - the wrinkly faced "japanese fighter" dogs as my friend at work calls em - but he's soft as, and i would describe him as a pedigree idiot. Hes not allowed off the lead because you will NEVER get him back on, and he has no road sense at all.. so i let Becky off and kept Lenny on, but he went under a bush and round a tree and he would NOT come back under, so i had to army crawl under this damn bush to try and untangle him. While i was crawling under, he pulled and his lead clicked and somehow the clip unhooked from his collar, so off and away he went - i spent 2 hours walking around the fields behind Mattys rents house trying to get him back on.. no chance - then i thought if i walked home, he would just pad around with us and come inside.. wrong again - you come out of the field onto a main road and then u-turn into the estate, and he ran straight into the middle of the road infront of a car.. i ran after him, almost got knocked over by a car going the other way.. then a runner ran past and stopped. Lennys soft as anything, but he woofs at things and so i told the runner to keep running, Lenny would follow him then lose interest and he wasnt dangerous or anything. So the runner ignored me and picked up a stone and threw it at Lenny. I went OFFIT. If it werent for the fact that Lenny was still running about on the road i would have punched the stupid man, but I panicked and so i coaxed him into a field on the other side of the road. I then walked round it for half an hour, tried sticks, toys, treats, nothing.. couldnt get him on. Called Mattys mum, she came out.. he wouldnt come near any of us (hes dead skitty anyway, but he was moreso because of the stupid idiot runner and his stone!
) and so she kept him occupied while i went and got my car - hes normally dead good getting into the car, so thought he might get in.. nope, he was having none of it! So after another hour trying to get him, I ended up ringing RSPCA - they have wardens on the telly so i thought they might help.. nope, want Council dog wardens.. so rang them, nope you need the Gateshead one, not the Consett one so i had to ring again and then finally these two dog wardens came out.. they tried the sitting still routine (i'd tried it already but still!) and it didnt work.. after another half hour, we ended up having to coax him back across the road into the estate, where it then took us an hour to get him into Mattys parents back garden, and then suddenly he was everyones best friend - he sat there dead still and let us put the lead on! DAMN DOG! LOL
I was covered in mud - my feet were soaked, my hands and nails minging (he made me break a nail
) and it turns out i had a mud-skidmark across my face LOL.. so i was just about to step in the shower when Mattys mum said what about my car.. and i was like, what about it? and she said, well, your cars still in the field where you drove it in! So i was like oh yeah
so i went to get it and i got stuck in the mud - so had to ring mattys rents again and his mum sat in the car while me and dad pushed.. i got even more caked - i slipped and my feet took out dads ankles and he fell on top of me and proper winded me.. it was funny like but still! Then i'd been sat in for 5 minutes after my shower and i had to go to work 4-9, so Mattys rents were on Lenny patrol as i didnt even get chance to take him home!
so anyway, i suppose the silver lining is that i earned 7AP from being out trying to catch him for so long
and also another 1AP from walking him for a quick 25mins tonight when we finally got in..
