Jeanne Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Oops I haven't got the hang of this obviously! Billymalc could I swop dogs with you? We woke up recently to discover things not quite right outside and later found out that next door had been burgled. Not only that but they had used our patio chairs to climb over the fence so had been in our garden. Did our dogs protect the place, not a bit of it? Joe is deaf bless him (so I can't blame him) and Tag couldn't be bothered (if she did hear anything). Seriously though it is a horrible feeling to think that someone unauthorised has been on your property with malicious intentions. At the time my biggest concern was that they didn't put the chairs back when they had finished with them:rolleyes: I think that was shock though.

JulesB Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Jeanne, how horrible for you and your neighbours Has anyone heard how Karen's mum is today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanne Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Yes Peter our neighbour was quite shaken up about it. They have now got guard dog called Thorn!!!! Trouble is as an 8 week old labrador pup it will be a while before he is any deterrent!! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickentikka Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Morning tis a bit brr chilly out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyMalc Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Morning No intrusions last night, but it was very wet and windy (as it is now ) so I guess poor burglars didn't want to get wet. My mate across the road had a similar experience, also the night before, and has seen a few dodgy people hanging about. Fortunately she's got a rottie with an almighty deep bark (nevermind that he'll prolly lick them to death should they be stupid enough to venture in regardless ), and my neighbours have got 3 dogs as well, so hopefully they've now got the impression that everyone on this estate has "dangerous" dogs! Neighbours have been warning eachother of a possible new wave of burglary and muggings - it seems to come over our estate once or twice a year - which is a good thing. Just hope they don't manage to catch anyone and soon bugger off again, back underneath the rocks where they came from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 For those following the tale of Tarka the lab: Thank you for that Owl, he's a lovely dog and it's good to see him safe. I got an email the day before he went missing asking for a foster placement for him so was horrified to get a doglost email the next day showing a dog that I recognised. I'm only sorry that I wasn't in a position to help search for him. Has anyone heard how Karen's mum is today? Thank you for asking . My mum has sadly had another bleed yesterday. The two possible ops to sort out the aneurysm can't be done unless she is stronger, but each bleed makes her weaker. It's looking a bit bleak at the moment but I'm catching the train shortly to go and visit her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 day 2 of dads new job.... he's not going in, he has been ill all night.... i hope they send him for his camera soon.... i am starting to worry now. my neighbours dog let their house get burgaled daft thing didn't bark at all i was reading on another forum about how peoples dogs react and how many of them don't like the dog barking at the door i love mine doing it and it is nice to know i just need to open the door and they will be by my side if i need them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cycas Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 I would not have thought anyone will be burgling our house with GinormoDoop in residence, he does an excellent impression of a pack of angry rotties, at least until the door opens... Mind you, Az does his best, he sounds quite daunting as long as you can't actually see him. Mollydog never barks but does mug the postman for cuddles, she is definitely not a guard dog. for your mum Karen, hope the visit isn't too grim.

merledogs Posted October 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Thinking of Karen's mum and Griff's dad We have a meeting this morning at 9.30 (although knowing my director that will be subject to change) to find out about new changes in the department. No doubt this will mean even more work for me (I'd put money on it) but not for anyone else up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merledogs Posted October 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Flippin heck Griff, not very often the vets give YOU money My director has been very supportive over the mileage issue, which is nice (and I am less angry now). I have ended up with more work, but less than I was expecting, although it's yet to be finally confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
