Going to the dumps

Earlier this week 5 large dumpsters were dropped off in my neighborhood. I didn't get to see their arrival because my human had all the windows shut and was out working with Atlantis at the time but I sure heard them being delivered.

For the next several evenings and night people would come and drop stuff in. All night long some nights we'd hear the bang bang thud twang of large items being hurled in to the metal trash receptacles. Naturally I felt the need to alert my human of any and all noise and anything could have been a potential threat.

After a few nights of this my human was starting to look a little annoyed and I must admit I was becoming a little horse. Odd expression don't you think. Be being a dog and all, can I really become a little horse?

Ok so my human wasn't sleeping, I was losing my voice and Atlantis didn't know which way to run to get away. It was a little bothersome to say the least, especially since most humans seem to only toss their garbage away under the cover of darkness. Like they think they are being the slightest bit stealthy with the noise created when large items ricochet off the metal walls before coming to a sudden stop at the bottom.

At least it's over now. The trucks arrived to take the large metal boxes away.
