Ok - so here's what happened at the weekend. I didn't tell you while it was going on cos Things. My daughter noticed a couple hanging round outside her flat, playing with her dog, Kim Chi with a squeaky toy, thru the railings. Aw, she thought, mebbe their dog died or sthg... /1
Kim Chi btw is a rescue, a sweet wee staffy with bad eyes and a lovely nature. The couple came back a few times - very kind to the dog and popping treats thru the railings now. My daughter filmed them and posted on her social media about these sweet people... /2
This weekend, there was a crash outside in the middle of the night. Molly thought it was the wind knocking over old vases outside on the bench. But it turns out someone was trying to climb down and there was a familiar ... squeak. Yes - the nice couple were dog nappers. WHAT? /3
Molly posted on social media and it turns out this is a Thing going on in Glasgow - dog napping from ground floor and basement flats. The nappers work in gangs, befriending dogs over weeks. Dogs, it turns out are apparently worth more than drugs right now. What. Absolute. Scum /4
They take the dog & also steal from the flat if they can get in. Molly was there alone the night of the attempt and I was BESIDE MYSELF OMG when I heard. So please be aware if you are in lower flat in the Glasgow area particularly - people are out there, gunning for your pup!
On the plus, Molly's hubs is home again (a thankfully huge big bloke!) and Molly and Kim Chi are both fine, but Kim Chi isn't allowed out in the yard on her own any more. But be careful dog owners, please. XXX
Oh and the videos and all the details have been sent to the local police who we hope are building a case, because some dogs in the area weren't as lucky and have been taken. Gawd. Cannot. Imagine.
