Went to collect a load of sawdust for clipping and a few bits n bobs at local dealer, coming back through town at dinner time thought quite fancy some fish n chips for dinner, parked tractor and trailer in a loading bay in market place (200yrds from chippy) not blocking any traffic or entrance, away all of 10mins heard a voice when opening tractor door, “sir your ticket is on other side” fkn traffic warden had only just slapped a ticket on the tractor for being in a loading bay out of hours ffs, bloody expensive fish n chips @ £79.90 🤬
Always pack a bag of spuds and say you were making a delivery of a sample which got rejected.

Been unsure wether to post this, but here goes.
Trip to Gloucester yesterday to fetch home a pup we sold 13 months ago.
We vetted the owners as usual and didn’t pick up any red flags, but sometimes google isn’t your friend. They answered all the questions, we’d checked out they had the garden etc and all seemed ok. Issues started a few months ago, contacted us to say it had bitten them, we offered to have him back or guidance on how to proceed with him. Neither was accepted. We suggested dog trainers in the area, apparently had 2 but not sure if they followed through 🤷🏻‍♂️
Saturday we got a call, it’s now bitten the owner for the 4th time and grabbed the daughters sleeve.
Finally convinced them to let us take him, so off we went.

Stopped at the serviced on the way home and had a walk, he was tense, but then we’d expected that.
We now have to rehabilitate him, now he’s here he’s unwinding a bit, we have to find his trigger points, which is the risky bit. I’m anticipating getting a few scars before we get there, ( I’ve already had a close encounter and a little blood lost ) if we can’t turn him around I’m afraid it’s a 1 way trip to the vets 😢 if we can, then he’ll probably spend the rest of his days here unless someone suitable comes along and wants to take him once sorted.
We’ve checked around the rest of his litter mates, all are very happy with there dogs and no signs of any aggression from them. 👍
It just shows how much we as owners can effect the mental stability of our pets. They’ve really messed this one up.

We too try very hard with the new owners of our pups - we don't do anything like as many as you but we do have reunions and it is amazing how the dogs have turned out to be so different to each other - you can usually see why a dog is like it is from the attitude of the owner to the dog. Pity you can never predict that when they come to look at a pup.
