Postman's Nightmare by SPAWN

spawnbandPosted for Everyone to comment on, 5 years ago2 min read

When we started our band back in 2001, I (Roel) had a Saturday job as a part-time postman. I had the luck of having a rural area round so every Saturday I hopped on the post office's moped and drove around from farm to farm delivering mail. The downside of having your round in rural area is ... dogs. Lots of dogs. Not the nice, cute, happy family dogs but mostly German Shepherds, Dobermans, Bulldogs and often Rottweilers. I always first checked the driveway for vigilant dogs, drove to the mailbox, dropped the mail and drove away (as fast as I could). Whenever there was a dog running towards me to scare me away, I kept the mail in my mailbag and drove away, lived to distribute another day :-)

The funny thing is that years later I learned the real reason these dogs came stampeding towards me. Most other (regular) postmen always carried treats so the dogs apparently excepted that from me also ...

In case you're wondering whether I'm still scared of dogs? No, check this bad boy Beagle 'Ziggy' below. We 'saved' him from a life in a laboratory (yes people still use dogs and mostly Beagles...)

Got the little rascal a little over a year ago and he's awesome. Yes I need new furniture, yes I need new pillows and he's stubborn as F*** but it's all worth it.
