About a month ago, we were on the back hill with a neighbor and her chocolate lab, Lucy. Lucy prefers to play fetch than to chase Guinness, so Guinness gets lonely and wanders off to their garage looking for his favorite toy while the mothers chat. He disappeared! We knew he was in the garage, but we couldn't find him until Lucy's mom suggested that maybe he went into the house! She had left the door into the house from the garage unlatched. Sure enough! Since that time, he has gone in their house THREE times!!!! Once, the daddy was in the house, and we saw him from the back hill running around their family room chasing Guinness.
Today, he did the unpardonable. After he had done his business in our yard, I cleaned it up, then turned around to discover he was gone. No where in sight. I had noted that neighbors were having a party with the deck full or guests. I hated walking behind their deck calling for him, but I had to. One of the men said they saw a dog go under the deck, meaning into the garage. A couple of seconds later, the daughter-in-law called down, "Nina, he's in the house," just as if it was an everyday occurrence!
"How could he be in the house?!"
She beckoned merrily, "Come in and get him."
Their garage door to the house was left ajar. By the time I was inside, the owner was coming down the stairs with Guinness.
Life's embarrassment moments...
