In the early hours of February 9th we were woken by a dog barking. Not unusual you may say, but it is for us living at the side of Greasley ChurchYard. When the alarm clock rang as normal at 6.30am it was of course still dark but it was a little lighter as Roger went off to the cash and carry about 7am.Imagine his surprise as he opened the back door and not one but two dogs came running up to him for attention. A ride in the car perhaps, or come into the warm for breakfast?With lots to do my dear husband left me to it and drove off leaving the dogs looking understandably disappointed! Now naturally the dogs looked to me for help but I am very afraid of dogs, very afraid, and of course they do sense this. Look at the teeth on the big one! I quickly shut the door and tried to work out a plan of action.
Now bearing in mind this was a Saturday morning, and my birthday morning at that I wondered who might be able to help. Of course the Police can't help, also the Council offices were closed and Directory Enquiries didn't have a Dog Warden in our area. To cut a long story short, and you have to be scared of dogs to realise just how harrowing this was to me, two lots of help came at once. Bit like the buses! Our lovely neighbour at Greasley Castle Farm arrived and also a lovely lady Dog Warden from Nuthall. Now this big dog who was quite happy to bear it's teeth at me ran to them as fast as iron filings to a magnet.
So away went 2 very special pedigree dogs to see if they were chipped and away I went to shower and get ready to open Mintons Tea Room. I missed my baking slot that morning and managed to open my Birthday cards about 1pm inbetween customers, but the point of writing this blogg is to ask does anyone recognise these lovely dogs?
I would love to know how the story ended.
Love Judy
