...as any Siberian husky dog owner would confirm, despite their intelligence, it is not safe to let them off their leads.The active, energetic and resilient breed have an independent intelligence with an instinct to run, run and keep running.So, to keep them safe, you need an enclosed area for exercise, or a LOT of your own land.
The Huskies In Hull group, which was formed to bring husky dog owners together, is now appealing for a place they can let their dogs off their leads safely.And by 'appealing', who do you think they imagine should provide it?
Yes. That's right.
Mike Gibbs, group co-ordinator said: "You can't let them off their lead unless it is in a secure area.
"We need somewhere enclosed. An ideal place is a tennis court or something similar with a 6ft fence.
"The dogs need exercise, a walk with a lead is not good enough.
"They are not the type of dogs you can just sit on your lap and expect to be good.
"If you do not let them exercise, they get frustrated, they chew carpets and furniture and eat just about anything."Well, Mike ol' chum, shouldn't you have thought about that before you chose your preferred pet?
Mr Gibbs said: "We do not see why the council can't provide some sort of doggy playground where we can let them off their leads safely, without charging us to do so.
"If they can't, we are ideally looking for someone who has enclosed land somewhere in Hull who wouldn't mind us bringing the dogs for a run-about.
"If anyone has any land we could use, that would be brilliant."Anything else you'd like, Mike? Someone (the council, perhaps, font of all bounty it seems) to provide you with free Pedigree Chum as well?
I wish I could say it was unbelievable but people like this fucktard really can't see it can they.
ReplyDeleteOnce irritation is fully set aside, the sponger's outstretched hat can be filled with raucous laughter.
ReplyDeleteFertile ground Hull once again Julia,but I think New Addington is getting left out recently!!
ReplyDeletePS Nice to see your manor Southend being so desirable to live in now with the highest house price rises in the UK.

Now if only guns were more readily available; so the people of Hull might rid themselves of this energetic husky infestation.
ReplyDeleteI shall email them and suggest it.
"There is one possible area that would be appropriate but the group has not come back to us to move that forward to formalise an agreement."
ReplyDeleteI.e. the council are doing everything they can to please this particular breed of dog-owner. Said breed have not bothered to reply.
That said, if any of the members of 'Huskies In Hull' happen to have a few acres of woodland with a 6ft (or higher) fence happen to be interested in allowing their fellow members to use said land - why that would be *wonderful*
*holds breath*
"We do not see why the council can't provide some sort of doggy playground where we can let them off their leads safely, without charging us to do so. "
ReplyDeleteAnything rather than put their hands in their own pockets. Mind you, Hull is a Labour stronghold.
We have a number of Siberian Huskies, and Alaskan Mamalukes, who get exercised daily on our local beach. Here's how they do it.
ReplyDeleteMam at one end of the beach with huskies, Dad at the far end with kids and dog biscuits. Mam lets dogs off the leash. They start running, and running, and running. Past the ice-cream parlour, past the chip shop, past the promenade, past the sand dunes, until they reach their joyous reunion with Dad, kids, dog biscuits. Then back on the leash for the long walk back to Mam, and the car. Four miles. Eight for the dogs. Every day.
In the summertime, they do it twice a day.

"...but people like this fucktard really can't see it can they."
ReplyDeleteNope. And they are outbreeding us.
"... I think New Addington is getting left out recently!"
Yes, it's been curiously quiet there.
Still, I'm sure the impending trial will provide some moments of high comedy...
"I.e. the council are doing everything they can to please this particular breed of dog-owner. Said breed have not bothered to reply."
Depressing, eh?
"Four miles. Eight for the dogs. Every day.

Sounds too much like hard work for this bunch.
