so, uh, apparently I"m 0 for 2 in trying to loose

my pets :-|
whoopsy.

So, LAST weekend, I forgot to deadbolt the front door, and it blew open. The pets all stayed inside.

Yesterday, Buffy and I got Dawg inside, then went out to do stuff (went to the farmer's market, target, to a garage sale to get Buffy a bike, lunch w/ grandma and grandpa--we were gone for a long time) and, being an idiot, I forgot to close the door-wall. Just the screen was closed.

Said screen is 'pet proof'--meaning no one can claw through it...but if you try hard enough, you can barrel through and push the screen out of the door.

Yeah, the Mr. got home and the screen was popped out of the back door, Dawg was lying on the back deck, and La Doof Kitton was sleeping in the back flower bed.
El Gato was lying on the coffee table with the "hey, this is my house. I have it to myself. FINALLY. GTFO" look.

The Mr. tried to grab La Doof Kitton and got royally clawed for his efforts...kitton wasn't freaked out clawing, he just...decided he really liked hanging out in the sun ont he deck.
Eventually, the Mr. Lured him in w'/ treats.

Then the Mr. fixed the screen...yeah, guess whose frickin cat can pop the screen back out and has decided no screen can hold him? yep.
So our back door can't ever be left open again.

BUT, no one died, everyone got caught!

That crazy LDK!

I'm sorry - I had to stop reading when you mentioned you were getting Buffy a bike. A BIKE? I swear it seems like she was only just born! How did she get so old so fast?

[gbck]

I know, she's almost 2!
She's to little for a bike but she insists insists INSISTS she wants to ride a bike.
And...she almost has pedaling figured out, so I got a garage-sale training wheeled bike for her pics, because I took them:

Ong she is getting so big! Also, things like this totally happen in our house : /. We can start a club!

The craziness that ensues in your house is wildly entertaining for all of us that get to read about it, so thanks for that! Hahaha. I get the freakiness of it for you guys, though. Glad everyone is back inside, and I hope LDK didn't maim the Mister too badly!
