Hi sports fans.

I have had one of the weirdest weeks so far in my team leading experience so far.

The only thing I can talk about is one of my team who has been house sitting for his best friend and her mother. He was told that if the old dog died to wack it in the freezer. He thought however, that it would live. Unfortunately this week, it had started to stagger around drunk like. He saw it alive on Wednesday night, went back to his house after feeding it, and on Thursday morningarrived back at the house to let the dog out for its walk, and found the dog lying face down, starfish like on the floor.

He didn’t think anything of it at first because it’s a staffy and staffies tend to spread eagle themselves, however he noticed that it wasn’t getting up when he was buzzing around the house cleaning it. He went across to the dog and poked it.

It was cold, and hard, and didn’t move.

I believe at this point he began to cry and poke the dog repeatedly. It wouldn’t move. He looked for some rubbish bags and began to stuff the dog in it. Imagine … well you shouldn’t need to. It was a dead dog in full rigormortis.

He couldn’t bend the dog’s legs back into shape to fit into the freezer, so after he wrapped the dog up in rubbishbags, he turned on the airconditioning closed all the windows and doors, went to work. He turned up at work looking red and teary, and unfortunately for him when he told me the story, I laughed so hard alot of people thought that I was crying or having an asthma attack. I sent around a picture of a dead kangaroo in memoriam of the dog to the team.

The conclusion to this sad tale took place on Friday.

Of course when he went back to his friend’s house, the rigor mortis was easing off and he bent the dog’s legs into shape, tried unsuccsessfully to close the dog’s eyes -and has he hoisted the dog into the freezer.. of course, the bowels let go, and he was covered in shit. as the bag on the rear half of the dog filled up and splatted onto the floor.

Awesome work.

My own tale about spider killing, and me breaking my bikepump when beating it to death on my bed the other night pales in comparison.
