no mail - but in real life

[Guest guest]

AArgh - we have a totally neurotic dog ( rehomed, abused childhood all

that jazz) who makes a fearsome noise at visitors, we make strenuous

efforts to keep him in if post hasn't been, expecting deliveries etc.

Anyway 4 months ago DH decided to tackle postman about leaving the gate

open ( why couldn't he just stay mum I don't know) so PO responded with

a letter asking us to keep said noisy dog inside. Which we have done

totally - despite post coming anytime from 8 -10.30 am apart from this

Saturday when DH ( again!!) was up and I was having a

lie -in/recuperation, let dog out and he barked at postie so now we have

a lovely letter telling us that we will get no more mail deliveries and

I have to go and get it. Still can't drive, hacked off with DH for not

remembering to keep dog in, hacked off with dog for barking at postmen,

hacked off with PO for being so quick off the mark to suspend deliveries

when we've had only this one day in 4 months - poo, bum etc :-(

, can you get one of those US type post boxes at your gate so that your

scared postman can just leave it there? It might solve your problem, but I

can well understand you being hacked off with everyone who's caused the

situation in the first place!

Oh what rotten luck . Would a grovelling phone call work?

Only problem with the mail box idea , which is otherwise pretty

good, is that you will have to dress up to collect your post, as in

Caroline P's recently posted joke composed by a man....

Do hope you are making steady progress to feeling better and that the

dog does at least cuddle up to you and console you for everything

else!
