Ardrie, dogs roaming the streats
Hi All
On and off my OH has been working in Aridrie {one of the council estates} doing the cavity wall insulation on a council contract,
He came home last night and started telling me all about the dogs
he said,
the dogs all just wander the estate, they dont seem to leave or wander off the estate,
It sounded like lady and the tramp,
As he has been working there for weeks he has got to know all the dogs, there characters and so on,
so a typical day,
he gets there, first to meet them is a small rottie x { she is mainly rotty but with a white strip on her front, } very fine, with a tail,
mega friendly, loves to play fetch, fetch the can, fetch the stone,fetch anything she can find really,
she also loves to get in the van, but not to good at getting out again,
there are also contracters doing roughcasting in the area so she splits her time between bugging the cavity boys and the roughcasters,
Doug was trying to move the van the other day and she had hit the jackpot, she appeard with a football, could he move the van,,,erm no she kept jumping up and smacking the ball of the bonnet with a kick the ball attitude, {she is his fav}
then there is an older terrier cross, hes friendly
his side kick is a compleat mix of breeds a good bit bigger who spends all his time humping the terrier, lol
then there is an old collie cross, she cant be bothered with fetch, she just likes jingernut bikkys and pets,
Doug says when they are extracting the old insulation, she comes and sits right next to them and by the time they are done she is compleatly white covered in the old stuff they are taking out,
so they need to clean her off, {its prob not good for her coat}
then there is a retreiver he is aloof and patrols the estate all day but is not intrested in playing or being petted,
a staffie, and a flippo staffie cross that runs on the road all the time,
he says its so funny, they all hover around UNTILL the postie appears, then!!! they whole lot sod off and follow him, they are not nasty or anything but he says, all these dogs follow him from the first house to the last house, up and down each path, this postie and his pack of mates, hes says its so funny,
with the postie shouting periodicaly at the staffie cross, will yi come eerrr and feckin get oaf the road,
hes gona try n get some photos next week lol
all they guys are buying double lunches cos the dogs are always there at lunch time x

Love the image of the postie doing his rounds with his gang of supporters but it's worrying that the staffies have no road sense.

its amazing that they never seem to get hurt, they all get on well, its like they know there place and just spend there days doing what they do, be it bugging people to play fetch, or bugging folk for a pet, or patroling the bounderys, lol, he did say they all have collars and looked well enough cared for though, x

as the contractor's pull into the drive, very funny though but can bring home why people feel the need to let them out?
Ah shona have a heart and bring home the rottie, but if she has a home it will be difficult.
