Beautiful Puppies

Was woken at 7.30 this morning by barking. Michael yelled out "shut up Gomez" but the barks were a bit too deep for him. Looking out the window, I saw two black bull terriers sniffing around the gate. Went outside to investigate - one was definitely all male and the other had obviously had puppies in the not too distant past.



Rang the council, who put me on to the owner, Nathan. The dogs , Jet and Lady, had disappeared last night and he was worried that someone had stolen them as it looked like they had been unclipped from their leashes and the back gate was still closed. He was stuck at Sandgate having his brakes fixed, but would come by as soon as he could. He lives at Stafford, so the dogs must have had a good trek through the night.



Michael tied them up out the front and we got some water for them. Gomez came running out of the garage, took one look at them walking towards him, turned tail and ran back inside with tail between his legs (sensible dog!). I set up a camp chair and quietly read my book.

After a while, it looked like rain so I brought the dogs into the garage and tied them up there. Mim came down and cossetted them, followed by Caitlin. Had to send both of them back upstairs so I could read in peace. I spread out an old blanket on the ground, they both flopped down on it together, all curled up and had a rest.

I could tell that their owner was male, the minute Michael poked his head into the garage, Jet was at the doorway, fawning at him.

I felt guilty about only reading so went inside and packed a box of books - when I poked me head out into the garage, I found that I had lost my seat!! Talk about making yourself at home, Jet!


Nathan picked them up at 11, the girls were sad to see them go. Mim wanted to keep them, until Caitlin pointed out how sad we would be if Gomez got out and somebody kept him. Nathan said the dogs had already cost him $1000 in fines, they had been doing Houdini for some time now.
