We are a nation of pet-lovers and I meet lots of dogs and cats on my leaflet deliveries.
The cats I meet are of three types:
- Friendly cat
- Snooty cat
- Scaredy cat
Which type do you think this one is?
Hard to tell isn't it? Cats don't give much away...
Dogs are more straightforward:
- Friendly
- Vicious
Now then...which one do you think this is?
The relationship's pretty clear, isn't it? The trouble is that I rarely get such a clear view of Deputy Dawg. If I'm lucky, I'll hear the barking as I approach, or I will have seen him jump down from the sofa.
But then there's the mechanics of the letterbox to deal with (see Part 2 for an exhaustive critique of those!) And on a few occasions - just a very few - you encounter the Stealth Psycho Dog who won't make a sound...but he waits.....
So there you are, lifting the letterbox flap with one hand and pushing the other hand right through because, yes, it's one of those vile bristly boxes and you don't want to leave a leaflet half out of the door (see Delivering Leaflets Part 4 - Etiquette tomorrow) And then....well, here are the remains of a near miss I had yesterday!
I was left holding this fragment while the Stealth Psycho Dog was reading, marking, learning and inwardly digesting the rest!
Grrrrr!
