Only Slightly Ranty — About Random Door Cameras

And poor, unsuspecting members of the general public, including poor, unsuspecting doggos!

This — above — is the face of a poor, unsuspecting doggo who is now afraid he’s going to be pawrested and sent to the Big DogHouse.

We were on our usual amble around the neighbourhood so that PupperJack gets to pick up peemail and local sniffs, and Susan is not glued to her computer monitor for the entire day, when we heard a weird little ticking sound …

We were on the homeward stretch so PupperJack’s tank is empty by then. Actually, it’s empty before we even leave the house. That’s what the back garden is for, and is the first thing he does before he has breakfast.

Even so, he lifts his leg, and goes through the motions, because he’s that kind of generous dog.

But I am still a bit self-conscious of my dog peeing on someone else’s wall, even though I know he’s not really.

That was when we realised, or thought we realised, that the ticking sound was someone’s door camera having a bit of a fit.

So PupperJack — and possibly Susan as well — is now on someone’s video film.
