New sheriff in town.

To explain; all around town there are garbage boxes and in some areas 45 gallon drums painted up nice for people to put garbage in [this does not always happen but that is not the fault of the Community Government who put the receptacles there in the first place].
Add to that loose dogs, particularly 6 pups who are the offspring of a mother who is always loose just 4 doors down from us.
Add to that the fact that the garbage boxes seem to constantly become damaged or vandalized, thing like broken of missing lids, holes kicked in them etc. Add to that winter snow piling up around and inside the boxes.

So with all of the above mix, lately every time we go out the front door with Siutik she makes a bee line over to the garbage box, with me in tow I might add, for inevitably there are from one to six pups in the dam thing.
Siutik has no intent on hurting the pups [though they don’t know that] but she is intent on getting them out of the box for some reason. No matter how hard I pull or yell at her she goes hell belt to the box and sniffs around until all the pups are out and running down the road as if their life depends on it.
Same thing with any of the boxes along the road if she detects anything in them.
So that explains the title of the post.

Of course it does not explain the biggest issue with the garbage boxes and the dogs. That would be the garbage constantly scattered all over the town buy the dogs and to some extent ravens. It as its worse on Mondays after the weekend, man it can be messy. The collectors usually clean up around the boxes when they come along, but by then stuff is down the road and all over the place.

The photos show a before and after on garbage collection day.
