what a fucking day, :sweating: loading the child and dog into the car for the school run. turn my back dog fucks off.. into the woods.. great! look for dog with child in tow up stupidly steep road behind my house to the woods... no sign.. see person from house half way up hill. "yes saw your dog she ran past me like lightning into the woods" great.. leave dog in the woods to take child to school... wife comes home from work to help search ( thats one day pay gone for the wife ).. these woods also happen to be MOD firing range... spend no joke 5 hours walking said woods with whistle in hand and bellowing.... MOD warden appears... oops! " you know your not meant to be up here this far they are firing today", "yes sorry mate but i've lost my dog and she's more important..." i said.. "you should be ok" he said "its the snipers today out long range practicing". "well hopefully they can see well enough to not shoot me or my dog" i said with a chuckle... with that he drove away warning me that as long as i stay north of the track i should be fine... 20 mins later bump into him again.. "i've seen your dog, tried to get her but she bolted in that direction". "yes she's terrified of people you probably won't be able to catch her". i continue my search on foot.. receive a phone call from the wife no more than 10 mins later " babe quick she's been seen on the main road running with traffic" she said.. "fuck" i said "I'm on my way". bearing in mind my dog has managed to travel about 3 miles in that 10 minutes which i then had to run through the woods, still in my work boots. jump in my car which was at my house then drive the 2 miles towards my nearest town where she was last seen.. No dog.. fuck... whistling shouting,then noticed traffic stopping on the road, people getting out... they see me and ask if i was looking for a dog... jump into random strangers van and drive after her down the road.... thankfully a friend,probably one of the only people she will approach apart from me came down the road in his car saw her jumped out grabbed her and stuck her in the boot of his car....( thats another day pay gone for me) lost my fucking pipe in the woods didn't eat anything all day ran through woods for 5 hours covering about 6 miles....... now have very tired sore dog... I'm very tired and sore, wifes in a mood. so much for thursday. hope friday is less adventurous. :speechless:
