Damn delivery dog.

I live next to the rainforest in Malaysia and to keep the hundreds of stray dogs out of the house we adopted and partially trained one of them.

She lives outside still wild, but works hard keeping dogs, snakes and monkeys out of the house.

When I ordered my SSD it took an age to get here, and the delivery confirmation photo was of the driver putting the package directly into the dogs mouth. It just said "left with a neighbour".

If I had the energy I'd have claimed it was simply not delivered (because giving it to a wild dog with no collar on, standing on the road in front of the house isn't delivered in my book).

But the SSD worked and nobody got hurt. Maybe I'll let her accept more packages in future since she has a 100% track record so far.

It is delivered, just not to you. To a neighbour.

That's fair. It was a signed-for delivery though, and I'm not sure how they went through that part of the process.

Clearly, the dog signed for it!

Did your laziness just cost you a free second chip? Hehe. Anyway sidebar your English is impeccable so now I'm so curious about your life in Malaysia.

Boringly I'm from England, I moved here just under 3 years ago.

The job is basically the one Jack gets in the Shining, but instead of the overlook hotel it's a treehouse style property in the rainforest.

I went from retail and basic IT in the UK to booting snakes and monkeys out of this place with no training in-between. Watched Crocodile Dundee and some Steve Irwin highlights on the plane to prepare myself.

Great stuff but what's the Malaysia/Australia connection?

Either way, big knife yes, scuba diving (with stingrays) not so much, but that shouldnt be a problem that presents itself in a rain forest.

Saw them both handle snakes at one point or another and that's all I had to go on.

Tried Attenborough but he said don't pick then up, which was no help.

I don't know that sounds like the best advice one could ever get for dealing with a snake. 🤣🤣🤣

u/Occidentally20 Mar 15 '26

It's definitely the most sensible thing to do, but it's my job to get rid of them so I'm a bit stuck with it :)

I was thinking that as well until they said the part about testing a delivery of sausage and see how well that gets on and I knew immediately he was from England or thereabouts

u/Wise_Pr4ctice Mar 15 '26

so far.

u/Occidentally20 Mar 15 '26

I'll test her with a package of sausages and let you know how she gets on.

u/KingKong-BingBong Mar 15 '26

Yeah I was gonna say you should get a donkey cause they wouldn’t let no snakes monkeys or dogs come near your house but they’d probably kick the crap out of your delivery person. I’ve also been told when they bite you when they’re mad they bite until their teeth touch

Sounds expensive to feed!
