Attack Dogs!

I am so angry about this I just have to post.

Was at skool today doing my holiday chores when I heard the canine companions barking so in went to investigate {the great thing about the canine companions being with me is that no one can approach unnoticed, people are not supposed to be on the skool grounds during the holidays and the ones that are are up to no good}

They were barking at a security guard

Guard "Call your dogs off!"

Willy "Clive, Horst come here" they come

Guard "You should not have the dogs on the skool grounds."

Willy "Why?" {I have permission from my principal and the district office and as the skool is in a high crime area the principal and district office think it is a good idea for my own personal security}

Guard "Children come into the grounds to play and the dogs might bite them"

Willy "The grounds are classified as Enclosed Lands, entry to the grounds without permission is prohibited, any kids who come onto the grounds if they can get over the 6ft fence I chase off"

Guard "That one tried to rip my jugular out" pointing at Clive

Willy "Are you scared of them?"

Guard " NO!" {he is, he's acting like a junkie hopping around,nervous twitching}

Dogs are calmed down but wary of the security guard as he is definitely scared of them and I admit that Clive is a bully, love him and he will slobber all over you if you diss him or fear him he will bully. Horst is just a shit stirrer.

Willy's Mobile rings it's a Teacher who is on the premises "Willy is everything OK I can hear the dogs barking?"

Willy "no worries it's just a security guard who is scared of them."
by this time the security guard has wondered off he is entering the unlocked buildings which he is not supposed to do.

The teacher comes to see me "Willy there is a guard walking in the buildings!"

Willy "yes I know"

the guard returns

Guard "I have just rang my boss you have to remove the dogs from the premises immediately"

Willy "Ok, what are you doing for the next hour and a half"

Guard "Why?"

Willy "Immediately means now and it will take me that long to take them home and come back" as he puts dogs in car and drives away leaving guard standing open mouthed {I didn't argue with him as you don't argue with an idiot} I took the long way home and back again
when I return the guard is not there so the skool has been unattended except for the teacher who is doing 'work'

I later find the Guards report slip "Was attacked by 2 savage dogs, wich (sic) I assertained(sic) belonged to the GA, I told him to remove them and he did"

The 2 savage dogs a Fox Terrier {Horst} and an elderly Boxer {Clive} with a limp!

What really upsets me is demonising the boys without knowing them

I hope he doesn't come in contact with some really savage dogs!

Hee. I remember being a security guard - and the notoriously inflexible requirements of my superiors. That guard probably (if he's like most other guards) prefers not to have anything happen on his shift.

Dogs mean effort, so dogs have to go.

Can't the dogs stay?

No. Too hard for me.

This was a contract security guard for the school holidays; The School Security guards from the Education Security Department have no problem with the dogs and even bring them little treats! Apparently I am not the only GA who brings their dog to skool.
It may not make it right but I think it makes it more secure.
