Small dog scratching at my door

Thespoofer · 03-09-2014 02:24AM #1

Since this evening there's a small female Yorhshire Terrier scratching at my door obviously lost.

I tried telling it to f-@k off in a nice way but it won't listen.

I told the kids earlier and the missus no way we're taking it in as we have a small dog already.

But, my heart strings are being pulled now at this stage and I feel myself feeling sorry for it, what will I do with the thing ?

Ah OP, take the bloody thing in for the night. It will settle down, you'll get a rest and then you can sort out trying to find its owner in the morning

How many hours has it been scratching at the door?

Get rid of the wife and kids.

The poor thing thinks you and the kids are it's real home...aww.

Would you not instead report it missing instead of telling it to f@£k off?

Is there a missing dog phone line?

Herself found it earlier this evening and decided ( in her great wisdom ) to take it for a walk with or own to try and find the owner. It was kind if around the estate all night and I didn't hear anything until 20 minutes ago again.
The kids are getting attached already.

I actually opened the door while ago and said for f€?k sake come in but it went into submissive mode and just kinda lied on the mat.

My own dog who's not 1 year old yet had a jump on her after their walk which I quickly stopped, could it be possible that a female in heat goes looking for a male?

Jesus, another scratch just there..

The females wouldn't generally do that. I'd say its just cold and frightened.
Get some food and tempt it in with it under the proviso that all know its not being kept.

There is a Facebook page for missing dogs afaik. Or send a tweet to the Garda twitter page with a picture of the dog.

Remember when my friends dog went missing someone brought it into the local Garda station and they put it up on their Facebook page.

I have seen a lot of people put up pics on their own FB pages of lost dogs and its amazing how successful it is!

True or even one of the selling pages that has a lot of friends ask them to put it up.

No sign of it. Not sure if next door is after taking it in as I heard him coming back from work 5 minutes ago. He's a nice enough fella anyway.
If she comes scratching again I'll let ye know.
It toying with my emotions at this stage.

Thespoofer · 03-09-2014 02:50AM

Can't sleep now, going outside for a look for her.

You should know by the dogs reaction when it meets his owner if it starts slobbering all over its face and what not.

Depends on how long they have had the dog, if it's a pup
It may do that with someone that is nice to it, talking to it in a friendly tone.

Thats true as well depends on the dog really. I'd check if it she is being looked after well hair trimmed right nails etc and not to skinny.

stevek93 · 03-09-2014 03:06AM

Also if she has collar or micro chipped.

Just back from a walk around outside and no sign of it. Tried whistling etc.

There was a collar on her neck but no name and she looked in fairly good condition , that's why I didn't take it in immediately as they don't just appear out of no where.

If she comes knocking again I'll take it in and let ye know.

I said to my wife earlier you can't be taking in every creature that comes to the door, what if a horse came knocking would you take it in ? ...I would she said.....
