So I was walking my dogs ( lhasa apso and a poodle) just after 8 this evening. I decided to go along to plot to close shed door. Anyway as I get to the gate I hear breaking glass and i thought oh here we go again kids are up to no good. I go in the gate and realise I am in my flip flops not ideal shoes for confronting vandals, I go and get my trusty fork and tour the site.
I must have looked great trailing 2 dogs and armed with a fork. Anyway I got to far end of site and it turned out one of the men had broke a pane in his greenhouse.
I honestly don't know what kids would have made of me in flip flops with dogs if they had been there.
You were very brave to go in to your allotment having heard that caffuffle, but I would take heed and not repeat those actions as things could have turned out the way you were expecting and the end result could have been disastrous :o
Lesson over. ;)
What size dogs are they? When we had dogs, we found that the local kids had enormous respect for a gruff bark, however soft the animal actually was.
