I’m home alone for the first time in months. Thought I would treat myself to a little “special time” left the dogs in the kitchen and nipped upstairs. Got my special helper out of the top drawer, few minutes later I could hear barking, ignored it - my dogs are in the kitchen. It carried on so I looked out of the open window, special helper both visible and buzzing in hand, to see my dogs had gotten out (can’t have shut the door properly) and next door playing with them at the gate. Unfortunately he looked up as I was at the window, laughed and then said he will leave me to it.
I’ve shook a box of dog food to get the back in without me going out, the door is now definitely closed (and locked) and I’m deciding how life will be now I’m never leaving the house again.
