White spirit

(Whitchurch, shropshire,England)

I will never forget the morning I awoke to hear commotion from downstairs, I just knew TKY was up to no good.

I ran downstairs to see my 15mth old, long haired shepherd bitch trying to get over the baby gate that separated the lounge and kitchen. I then realized the back door was open.

She'd learned to open it herself!!!!!

I'd only just had the kitchen re-decorated after she had dug up most of the plants in the rain and brought them all into the kitchen, floor to ceiling was mud covered. So the unopened bottles of white spirit were in the shed, that the painters had left.

The night before it was gale force winds which blew open the shed door, and TKY after opening the back door went to the shed and carried the bottle of white spirit into the kitchen where she proceeded to chew it, drinking a lot of it I guessed, because the bottle was empty, she was slipping on the tiles extremely drunk!!!!!







This was at 8am, I couldn't believe it, she was covered in the stuff, I managed to make her drink milk, rang the vets, my mum, and carried her upstairs to the bath, bless her. I then rang my work and took the day off to sit with her until she sobered up...........

Bless Tky, she passed away this year a bonny 10yr old. I loved her to bits, but she did give me some scary moments.

I now have a 6mth old black shepherd pup, Kya who I know is going to give me lots of stories to tell....
