I finally had enough of DD's (darling daughter's) bags of left over clothes and bits and pieces sitting in the lounge room waiting to be picked up or delivered. After all she and PP (precious Paul) had well and truely moved into their first home. So I sent her a text. The answer was no she was not home, she was in the city but I could drop the bags at her house and leave them in the wood shed. Don't worry about the dogs they won't go past the gate.
First problem was Modo. He watched as I began loading the boot with DD's bags. Something was up and he wasn't going to miss out. He jumped into the back seat and laid low. OK I am a softie. I put one bag next to him, one on the floor and one on the front seat. I didn't have far to go and he had never visited DD's dogs at their new home.
When I arrived I opened the big gates. First one dog then the other rushed out. I grabbed the little one. He was the one most likely to make a run for it and threw him in the car. I quickly reversed into the drive jumped out and closed the gate. I let Modo and Little Dog out and began unloading the car. Big Dog didn't like Modo in his yard and he became quite aggressive. Great, what do I do now? I grabbed Big Dog by his colar and Modo made his escape. I lead Big Dog over to the car and he jumped in and began chewing on one of Modo's toys. Keeping an eye on Big Dog I resumed unloading the car. Big Dog was soon joined by Little Dog and they sat happily in the car while Modo explored. Now problem no.3. it was time to go. I called Modo and enticed the two dogs out of the car. When Modo jumped into the back seat so did Little Dog. Little Dog was coaxed back out again only to have Big Dog jump back in. That's it I have had enough. You Big Dog out. Good. Now both of you come over here. Sit. Stay. Then I raced to the gate, opened it, put the two dogs back into sit and stay drove out, shut the gate and heaved a great sigh. Still it was worth it. Yay no more bags in the lounge room.
