Burglar caught!

[Groggy]

I have a shed on the side of the house with a roller door at each end. This is handy to carry stuff straight through to the back or to park the car in (when I am out of lumber). Last night, since I had been in and out of the shed all day, I'd only closed the yard side of the shed and was just leaving the front door when I heard a noise in the shed.

I snuck around and peeked into the end of the shed and, in the gloom, saw the tail of Sally the shop dog happily wagging as she was tearing into a bag of MacDonalds she'd dragged from the bin.

Since she knows this is a definite no-no, I thought I'd teach her a lesson and scare the bejeezus outta her. I snuck up on her as quietly as I could and, I must admit, did a great job of it. Trying to stop myself from laughing, I slowly reached to grab her in the ribs and yell out. Thankfully, the wind was blowing toward me and she didn't catch my scent.

Anyway, she was buried deep in the McBag (it was over her head) and her shoulders were half under the shelf. Perfect, the silly mutt was gonna freak out.

I grabbed her ribs and yelled "Bad Dog!", then started laughing - for about two seconds...

What came out of the bag was not my dog! It was someone else's Labrador wearing a surprised look and lots of teeth. It had banged its head on the way out from under the shelf, then had backed between my legs, snapping and snarling - not good. Inside the house, my dog was now going nuts, further scaring the new dog. I fell ar*e up trying to get away from the teeth and paws of the mutt desperately trying to get away, which thankfully it did. Leaving me, totally shattered, in a heap in the shed.

It took hours for the heart rate to go down.

You should stop feeding the neighborhood strays.

Thinking of giving up? I gave up smoking 3Y 8M 2W 5D 48m 20s ago and have saved $8,485.63 from 33,941 cigarettes not going up in smoke,

To date 16W 5D 20h 25m of my life has been recovered.

The money saved was put aside and bought a TS, BS, Jointer, thicknesser, dust collector, timber and goodies from LV and LN (plus a bunch of items for the family).

I hope someone gets some incentive from this.

What, you didn't buy anything from U-Beaut? Shame Shame Shame

In this day and age you could possibly be charged with assault if it had been an human burgler, dunno about what the dog owner might consider

SWMBO came in to see what I was laughing so hard at! Even she thought it was hilarious!

Groggy,

Love it!

Cheers!

Ha Ha

Bet you were a mite anxious about that dog getting a mouthful as it went out between your legs.

Thanks, I needed a giggle.

Had it have been my dog (also Sally) you certainly would have got hers

[Allan at Wallan]

Good one Groggy about the doggy.

It brought a smile to my dial and a grin on my chin.

Brightened up my day too.

It sounds like one for me to remember for when the boys are down the shed having a few beers - you could become famous.

[Krazee]

So does this mean that Mc is not good for you're health?

[bennylaird]

Bet Sally gave you the "You have been with another dog" sniff?

Pity you don't have it on video, would have been a classic.

There was one like that on the forum a few years ago one of those you think about constantly and have a good laugh, it made me look like a complete idiot as I drive a school bus and I'd be driving along and all of a sudden start laughing, those kids didn't know weather to get off the bus at the next stop or grab me tie me up and call the authorities, finally i printed a couple of copies and sent the round the bus and that got me off the hook.

And I think this was it. Stray dog's no doubt dead or moved by now.
