Garden shared access and dogs.

Chameloeon - I have no sense of smell!

Fire Fox - my dog just doesn't like other dogs, he is fine if they are on a lead and ignore him but if they try to play he won't have it. As he is a rescue I don't know what has happened. There is a fence but their dog could get over it in one bound.

However, I have come home today and there are now 2 huge boxer / mastiff types and the little staffie has been locked in the shed. I can hear him crying and that breaks my heart. If I could have him in my house I would. A tyre appeared in the garden over night. The tyre has moved from one side of the garden to the other since I left this morning so I guess the dogs have been out.

Will wait to see if they reply to a note.

I don't suppose you can smell cannabis until it buds anyway, I assume more domestic farms would be caught at any early stage if you could. There are a number of other illicit activities that might warrant dogs as protection, but I could be letting my imagination run wild!!

RSPCA deal with abandoned or trapped dogs if you don't hear back from the neighbours. If they are up to no good the more authorities that nosy around the better IMO.

Could be a weed farm, on the other hand it could be a bloke and his dogs who's been kicked out by his missus and hasn't get anywhere to go except an empty house his mate's leant him.

Ain't ours to judge.

Sounds like a stash house for fighting dogs to me, hope I'm wrong

Not if they usually live together. Even fighting dogs tend to get along well enough with the dogs in their household.

OP, can you set up some kind of webcam from an upstairs window or something? So you can see what's going on in the garden when you aren't there? I'm concerned that you say the staffy has been locked in the shed!

I know you aren't allowed to film other people's gardens, but I think I would, just for my own peace of mind! Don't show it to anyone else though!

And I'd call the RSPCA too and say you suspect that some dogs have been abandoned. The more people sniffing about, the better!

In July a man went in with nothing more than a divan bed and has never been seen since.

It's a portal to another world - and the dogs are the Hounds of Hell. Buy garlic!

I still think I would report it to the local police to check out. Blocking the front door, various bullbreeds coming and going, dogs shut in the shed, no signs of people actually living there, etc. all sound very peculiar and I don't think the police would think it was a waste of time to check it out at all.

The dogs have been barking all night, the poor staffie is still in the shed and hasn't stopped crying. . It is boiling in that shed and the staffie is very friendly. The big dogs in the house moved the blinds in such a way that I could see the whole room. These houses have a door to the stairs in the dining room. They have blocked off the access to the stairs with a wardrobe. This means you can't now get to the bathroom and upstairs bedrooms, or the front room.

The man from the house on the other side was in his garden and said it sounded like the dogs were destroying the kitchen. He talked of calling the RSPCA a call if they haven't been home by 5.

I am hoping a mate has borrowed the house, but hate too think how he is going to the loo!
