i'm too old for this ;-) - 04/21/05 12:50 AM
long story short - the kids went to New Orleans to be with their sister who's roommate recently died -- at (literally) 30 min notice -- I am in charge of my grandbeauty for the next few days -- on top of my two spoiled rotten pomeranians - butterfly and angel -- and a 40 lb 4 month old german shephard puppy -- plus working at home --
NOW -- this was 45 min of my day today
i went to leave my house (we're staying at the kids house so grandbaby feels secure in her own bed and has all her own toys and i went over to check on the two pom's that are old enough to stay by themselves) -- i scooped up belle and the handful of stuff i needed to take back to the house for the night -- the dog gate allowing me out of the house (WITHOUT INCIDENT) fell down -- i'm half way down the 3 steps with everything in one hand -- belle in the other -- and butterfly gets out -- i drop everything -- except belle ;-) -- close the door -- put belle in the car -- call butterfly -- who comes to me expecting to get into the car -- walk her up to the door and realize i've locked myself out -- then i hear my house phone ringing -- so i put butterfly in the porch -- go to get the extra key from under the lawn mower -- belle starts screaming because she thinks shes been left alone (i'm not 7 feet from her) -- and my cell phone goes off -- it's work about a contract just faxed to us -- so now i've calmed belle down -- finished my phone call -- got the key into the door -- go inside to get my stuff before belle starts back up (still within 10 feet of her securely in her car seat and the doors open) -- and BOTH dogs get out ---Yaaaaaccckkk
long story short -- both dogs are now in the house -- belle is asleep in her own bed -- dakota (my german shephard puppy) has run herself out and back to sleep -- and here i sit -- quite -- with BEER IN HAND ;-)
