A dog from the neighbourhood has started to regularly deliver her new puppies at our Italian golf club. Very cleverly she disperses the little ones one after the other in different places, disappears with the rest, leaves the next one at another green – and in the end walks home free of any burden and responsibility. As one can imagine it is getting more and more difficult to find a “master” for the little ones, even the most animal loving golfers have their limits...
From the most recent litter – 6 this time – there were three left these days, nicely accommodated in a little enclosure the club had prepared. The other ones had already found a home . Now today a golfer family had decided to take home one of them. Four from the family plus 3 of their friends were standing outside the enclosure, making their comments about the candidates, discussing pros and cons of male or female. In the end a decision was taken: it should be the little brown one.
Now, however, things became somewhat difficult. Despite all efforts they were unable to get the little brownie out of the enclosure lifting her over the narrow fence. The “mess” created of course made the puppies nervous and they started to escape and hide. After two of the dog catchers had almost fallen into the enclosure one of them took heart and climbed the fence. The little dogs, curious and vivacious before, now tried to escape confronted with that new “threat”, a real chase went off. No doubt, in the end the little brown could not have a true chance against 7 adult people. The puppet was caught, handed over the fence and one of the ladies gently took her on her arms. Result: she got pretty wet in a second, was somewhat frightened, lost hold of the dog, the pursuit started all over, the golfers showing some good sport. Now the golfers searched the collar, brought along with the well known intention but unfortunately left in the car. The dog, empty by now, trembled from fear but kept quiet. The collar was brought and put on, the dog of course not being really happy and fighting the collar unknown to her. In fact, she had good chances as the collar would have fit a full size Rottweiler, but not a tiny little mongrel of perhaps 5 weeks of age. An attempt to put the dog into a shopping bag failed dramatically. New decision: the dog back in the arms of another lady now, not knowing the puppet was ready again to “deliver” by now, another set of cloths soaked.
After that they all got to the car and left. By now the dog might own the most beautiful dog’s basket in Italy and start feeling home and safe. The car most probably will need a thorough inside cleaning...
Anyway: Well done! Let’s hope the other two puppies will find a home as well – the players of today’s safari will certainly be ready to offer their best advice how to get hold of the dogs and transport them back home. Moreover, they will also be able to give good advice where to find a good dry cleaner…
