Great Pyrenees Discussions / Binky locked me out in the snow!!!!!
« on: December 08, 2005, 01:56:18 pm »
So, I decided to be nice to my husband and shovel the driveway-it is snowing like crazy here! I shoveled the driveway, the deck and a path in the backyard for Chicklet (she's so small that she can't walk in the snow). It took me about half an hour.
I go to open the door and-it's LOCKED! The only way our door locks is a deadbolt on the inside, which obviously has to be locked from the inside or with a key outside. There's Binky, standing with her foot on the bolt! Of course, I couldn't get her to turn it back.
Another of course-none of my neighbors are at home. So I had to walk to the library to use their phone. Now let me tell you, I looked like a Yetti! I was completely covered in snow, I was wearing an old jacket that was also coated with dog hair (and I mean major hair-I found two of them sleeping on it last night and Binky is shedding like it's going out of style). The librarians were less than impressed and I think they thought I was really insane when I told them the dog had locked me out!
I managed to get in touch with my mother-in-law to let me in...an hour later! AHHHHH. Needless to say, I will carry a key with me at all times now! Being locked out was not something I considered before getting a big dog! Beware! This is Binky's first real snow and she is loving it- at least someone enjoys it!

Anyone else have before and now pics?
? What should my firend do? I don't know if this is a case for animal welfare, but even if it is, my friend does not want to call and jeopardize her already strained friendship with her roomate. Any ideas? I am so upset about these poor animals and I can't help but think that this is a commanly practiced, accepted way of cruelty. Since everyone on this site so obviously loves their dogs, I doubt anyone here wouyld do this, but just in case, please reconsider dog ownership if this is how you think an animal can be treated.
