DIDO.1 22,844 Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 The youngest dog which I got off Gnipper is nicknamed bellend, because she is a complete roller pigeon eating, wall destroying, shadow chasing bellend. But fck is she good at catching rats in houses. I know it doesn't sound much but as a pest controller that one little small rat can be a wage and a reputation. Got a call from an agent about a rat in a house. Others had tried and failed with traps and the tenant was refusing to enter the property. The minute this dog enters a house she switches on, she knows and soon I know if it's there or if it's been and gone. She sets to and checks every chair and drawer like a drugs sniffer dog, methodically covering everything. She soon settled in a corner behind the telly and kept looking up. I checked the thick curtains twice but she was insistent it was there, eventually I saw it on a dado rail (is that what it's called?) A quick run round the window cill and onto the floor and job done. It's not often I feel that chuffed with a job but proper happy with that tonight. And it earned me more than a week at some of my other jobs in the past 17 Quote Link to post
