Our newest neighbors have 3 little dogs. They are just the right size for our little boys to LOVE!!! They also have a very tricky back door. Yesterday David managed to lock himself out while letting the dogs out. He came over to borrow our phone and phone book to call Lisa's work and get her cell number. He then found an open bathroom window and crawled through to get in.
This morning I was loading the van to go to MOPS and there was Lisa with all the dogs. She had done the same thing only on her way to work. What an awful way to start your day. Her work happened to be close to the MOPS location so I offered her a ride. They don't have a fence so there was no where to put the dogs who were still getting used to the new neighborhood. Problem solved our yard is fenced in. So we put the dogs in the yard, buckeled up the boys and headed out for the day. When I got home for lunch 2 of her dogs were in her driveway. This was confusing as I just talked to her on the cell and she hadn't been home yet. I rounded them up and got them back in the yard only to find a few minutes later they had escaped again. I caught one and the other, Roscoe, was ticked from the last capture and wouldn't be found. Well I enlisted the help of our only other neighbor with no luck. I called Lisa and she was devastated. I told her we would keep looking. So I took the boys in and got them lunch. Went outside to call Roscoe and he and the other escape artist, Phoebe, were lounging on their front stoop so I picked them up and they are now lounging in our laundry room. I called Lisa back and she was very relieved to hear Roscoe had been found. All I have to say is that dogs can be as much trouble as kids sometime. I'm glad this happened because I really love dogs, but I don't want to own one anytime soon. This story will hopefully come in handy when Daniel starts bugging me to get one :)
