We are a family of animal lovers,,always had dogs and cats as children,and because of those animals we have a lot of tales from our childhood.
I already mentioned Bungle the Interloper in the family plot
And Kim,our beautiful big ex police GSD
Then there was Prince,a pure bred Alsatian who only liked females,he bit every man he met so he had to go,he became a guard dog at a pub,,noone asked for lock ins
There was Ringo,our male cat who had 5 kittens !!
And then there was HAPPY,,HAPPY the most antisocial stupid eejit of a dog you ever did meet.!!
Happy was a bitza,he looked like a stunted Labrador,ears too big for his head. Mum got him for my sister as her marriage had broken down,thought he would cheer her up !!
Happy wasn't happy,,Happy was a maniac,Happy bounced around like a kangaroo,always up on his hind legs,slavering everywhere.
Happy thought he could sit on a small ledge like a cat,Happy didn't realise that cats have rear ends designed to sit on slim walls,,Happy had a large rounded backside so every time Happy sat on the wall,,Happy fell off.
We were forever having to salvage Happy from the next door neighbours garden !!
We lived opposite a large recreation park,and right at the other end was a bowling green,,at least it WAS a bowling green till Happy decided to dig it up......cost Dad a fortune to have it repaired !!
Our airing cupboard was in the bathroom downstairs,,and Happy made his little kingdom in the bottom of the airing cupboard,which was fine as long as you knew he was there.
My brother forgot Happy was there one day and got knocked into the bath by Happy barrelling into him.
Noone except my Dad could walk Happy,,everyone else just got dragged along by Happy. He wasn't the best pet in the world,and,to be fair,he was an embarrassment,leaping around,tying our legs up in his leash,and he was a 'sniffer' (if you know what I mean :
Anyway,,the day finally came when we had to admit defeat with Happy,,Mum had ordered a taxi to take her to the Bingo with 3 of my auntys,,they all sat in the front room,chatting,taxi driver rocks up (one Mum knew) and asked if he could please use the loo...Of course,said Mum,,and directed him toward the facilities,completely forgetting Happy was in his house,,She soon found out though when the taxi driver came screaming out of the loo with Happy hanging off his arm ,,hobbling cos Happy had already snapped at his ankles!!
It took everyone shouting and yelling and my Dad physically extricating Happys jaws from the taxi drivers arm !!
Happy's fate was sealed,,Happy was going to have to be put down,couldn't keep him,he had blood lust and he was a vicious little s**t.
My sister was devastated,we all were,he was one of the family albeit a complete pleb.
Rang vet,,me and my brother trotted up there,crying cos we didn't want it to be his last walk but knew he would bite again,,only to be told the vet wasn't going to euthanise him,,he was going to give him to a farmer who was desperate for an 'alarm' dog,,one who went berserk at the first sniff of a stranger,,suited our Happy to a T ..
So Happy the dog lived his days out doing what he did best,,barking his daft little head off and snapping at strangers Bless him.
