I don’t have many close people in life right now, but I have to share this with someone.

Tonight has been very stressful! In the middle of my work shift, I got a text that someone had my dogs at their house. The little buggers figured out how to unlock and open my sliding door and had a little adventure.

So, I get permission from work to go take them back home. I re-lock the sliding door and go back to work.

Then, only a few hours later, I get another text that they got out again! Thankfully, my job is very understanding and just let me take the rest of the day off. So, I go pick up the one dog, the other still missing. I’m also worried about my cats if the door was left open. They’re indoor-only cats, so I was very concerned for their safety.

When I pull into the driveway to drop the one dog off, there’s the second one! Just hanging out in the front yard!

Lots of relief! Now just the cats to worry about…

Luckily, they didn’t go any farther than the backyard and came right inside when I called for them.

So, after a lot of stress and adventure, my fur family is back home, safe and sound, but I’m still kinda feeling a bit shook up. Whew. Thank god it’s all over now.

Thanks for listening!

    Whew! That was stressful to read. Awhile back I looked at my window and saw my dog lying my in yard, out of her fence, I panicked even though she was safe then just knowing that she had been out running around. Btw you can buy a patio door security bar or just cut a board to size.

      Dogs can be such tricky little devils! I’m glad your dog just found a new spot to chill instead of running away.

      And yeah, definitely going to buy one of those security bars or something tomorrow.
