The turkish caretaker who was looking after the patron's house next door seems to have gone. The patron is Turkish and cannot speak English. The caretaker was looking after the patron's puppy as the patron (houseowner) is rarely there. The puppy is locked up 24.7 in a building but the caretaker was undoing the padlock and letting me take him out most days to play and socialise with my dogs and I also gave him a ground stake and extension lead so at least he could sit outside for a few hours. Now the caretaker has gone it seems the puppy is locked up forever. I would like to leave a letter or send a text to the patron. Thus could someone translate into Turkish please. Would be extremely grateful.



The letter..............

Dear Patron



Your caretaker seems to have left. When your caretaker was there he was unlocking the building where your puppy is sleeping and I was taking him to play and socialise at my house every day. It seems the puppy is on his own too much. Is it possible you can give me a spare key to the building so I can continue to take him out sometimes.



Thanks

OK, I haven't got a Turkish keyboard so the accents and umlauts will be missing but here you are:



Sayin Patron,



Zanneterim ki sizin ev bakiciniz artik kacti ve bulunmuyor. Bulundugu zaman kopeciginizin kaldigi yeri aciyordu ve ben kopecigi biraz gezdiriyordum. Dusunurum ki bu kopecik cok yalniz kaliyor. Olurmu bana bir anahtar veresiniz ve ben devam edeyim biraz gezdireyim kendini.



Tesekkurler

Degerli Ev Sahibi

Ev Bekçin kaçmıșh durumdadır. O burda iken Küçük köpeğin kaldıgı binayı açıp icinde uyudugu köpeciği dıșarıya bırakabiliyordu. Ben de hergün onu kendi evme götürüp aksama kadar ona bakıyordum. Simdi zavallı köpecik odada kilitli kaldı ve yalnızlık hissediyor. Eger imkan varsa onu bazen dıșarıya çıkarmak için lütfen bana bu odanın anahtarını ver.

Teșekürler





I hope you sort it out soon.

Thanks YFred, yep, for the benefit of anyone else it should read 'evime' ("to my house", or if it was 'evim' it would be "my house").

Oops, that 'kaçmıșh' should not have the 'h' the end

Msg9: You are welcome. I'm also sure that you will be able to find a friendly policeman to have the animal freed if it looks as if nobody is feeding/watering it.



Happy days.

simple thing to do is break the lock and buy a new one for 10tl at the diy shops and u have the key. when the owner comes give him a key aswell. were is the puppy i will come and break the lock becuase that is animal cruelty keeping it lock up all the time.

I am quite worried about the last comment here, I think we (yabanci) must not break locks or the law at all, better to find a local policeman and ask for his help.



It would be a very brave (or foolish) man who would break the lock and the law in this way.

Good news....the puppy is now in the owner's lovely garden, surrounded by fruit trees, grass, flowers, sun, shade and free to wander round the large garden. He is tiny enough to slip under the gate and join us for a walk in the morning. Just hope he doesnt start digging as that wont make the owner happy.

well that didnt last long. The caretaker is back from Turkey and the puppy is back in the brick s...house. Got the message that Im not allowed to take it for a walk with us...patron said no. Think its going to be a guard dog maybe thats why he doesnt want it to socialise. Why would someone want a guard dog in a home, could understand in a work yard.

Brother,

It's easy to adjust your english keyboard to incorporate the Turkish Letters, I have mine ğ ü ş ı ö ç the trıck ıs to remember to mark the keys wıth the extra letters. My wife is the whiz and I am waiting for her so that she can tell me how you can do it. As soon as she is available I will post it on here, unless someone beats me to it.

Msg16. Babrew: The issue now appears to have become a difference of opinion on the husbandry related to an animal. I'm of the opinion that unless cruelty is being inflicted by the owner there will be little anyone else can do.
