Dogs are very Smart

This was Wednesday, the day before the whole In-n-Out, Library trip and Kellee and I had the marvelous thought getting beck from scrapbooking that we should invite Charity tonight to go to the library with us tomorrow. It was 10 o'clock at night or 10 in the morning. We chose to invite her tonight. I go to the door, and the lights are still on, so I knocked. She answered and came outside with us, Wiley is one of her dogs, and can get out of the house by himself because of the type of handles they have on their doors. Well, we heard him behind her scratching at the door and didn't open it so we didn't think too much about it. Until she decides to go back inside, and we were headed back across the street to get kids into bed, and same with Kellee, when behind me I hear Charity say my name sounding a little scared. WILEY LOCKED HER OUT! She was barefoot, and didn't have her keys, cell phone, or anything else that could get her back into her house. David, her husband was out of town, so we could not call him. They have a friend that has a spare, so we call him. We only have the phonebook, so have to call his house, and of course he doesn't answer. His cell number is in her cell phone inside the house. Of course, with her husband gone, she has her house locked tighter than tight! All of the windows are locked, every door is dead bolted, even the garage door is bolted shut. Her windows even have reinforced locks on some of them. SAFE HOUSE!!!! It was virtually impossible to break into without busting the windows. Jeff and Dave (our other neighbor), and Courtney (Kellee's husband) work on this for a while. We decide to go to hurricane where her friend lives to see if we can get the key. He is not there, and the keys are nowhere to be found. We get back home, and try some more to get in, and finally after about another hour or so, are successful! It was now about midnight or later. Her husband David had tried calling her 5 times but her phone was inside the house, she was now concerned he was freaking out. She stayed calm and waited til morning and he called her back and had a good laugh at he situation the previous night. So everything worked out just fine, and we found some humor in it.

I love it! Our neighbors dog is the same way! It is so funny to see dogs letting themselves out of the house using the actual door, but being locked out from your dog is hilarious!!

To sum up our story:

Jeff and I got married on August 14, 1998. We have four beautiful boys and a sweet little girl. We have been married for 13 years. We run a business in Utah called Sprockets. It is a full service ATV shop. It has been Jeff's dream to do since he was a kid (not mine!! ; )) But we keep very busy at it and are glad for the support from the community. This is a great place to live.
