Community service. Ha! This is some community, boy. Routine checking service, and complimentary sticks, dancers adorning man-hole covers, oboist’s in capes serenading passers by, clown cars and daddy jokes. Property values must be sky high here!
Moonglow has a friend who had a Norwich Terrier who thought the letters coming through the mail slot were rats. Needless to say, they had to rig up a basket to protect the U.S. Mail. I wonder if Dill could have helped!
Careful there, Dill. There’s a thin line between “community service” and criminal “voyeurism,” especially when you criticize the housekeeping by Mrs. Ottterloop!
It’s an important feature in a Milne story, I think one of the adventures in The House at Pooh Corner. When the tree containing Owl’s house blew over, it was up to Piglet as a Very Small Animal to save the day, escaping through “Letters Only” and going for help.

Dill has adopted the military protocol of assigning gigs (demerits) when discharging his surprise mail slot inspections.

Dill I would stop doing that, might catch something you weren’t supposed to see.

Well, an army of trebuchets manned by Dill’s brothers should also have a good spy service!

It used to be said that a man’s home is his castle. That is, until peeping Dill and his trebuchet-building brothers came along.

Dust bunnies in Alice’s house? Of course—Alice goes down rabbit-holes in Otter-Land.

Ah, the innocent good ol’ days back before Nextdoor put all of your nosy neighbors and their poisonous gossip online.

Is Dill a voyeur in training?

In this one, at least, Dill reminds me of Brick in “the Middle.”

This won’t go well if Dill doesn’t break the habbit before he turns 18.

One of our neighbors has a drone and it upsets some of the others.

Dill could be foiled by placing a collection box on the inside over the mail slot.

If he continues doing that into his early teens, it could get him arrested.

I imagine Dill channeling Adrian Monk: “You’ll thank me later.”

At least he’s not delivering the “stick of the day.” :)

It’s been a LONG time since I was in a house with a letter slot in the door.
