Garbage trucks are scary!

Lola on Behavior - Tue, August 19 2008

Have you ever been outside when one of those things come by?!!? This HUGE claw thing comes out, grabs the garbage can, lifts if WAY up high and dumps it into the top of the truck!! I had an immediate shake-fest. That was the scariest thing I have ever seen and I'm one now, remember...

Mom said that today is garbage day in our 'hood. Be careful of those things my friends. They could snatch you up too!

My friend's hubby and son were seriously injured when they were out watching the trash truck. They were standing behind it when it reversed and backed over them. I think her hubby still has issues from the injuries he suffered.

Man, those things make us bark like all hell is breaking loose. It's garbage day in our neighborhood too. I love going for a walk before the garbage truck comes cause I get to pee all over everybody's trash cans!!

We bark a lot when those come thru our neighborhood too. They are scary things. Tweeter gets really mad at them....the hair stands up on his back. Come to think of it, Tweeter's pretty scary too.

We went for a walkie AFTER the pick-ups. And, like my buddy Deuce, Kirby and I pee on all of the bins!

That's awful! I've seen "this is not a show" painted on the backs of some trucks. I used to run out as a kid and watch the garbage truck go down our alley but I'd climb up on my money bars so they wouldn't get me. Why are they so fascinating?
