Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | I did the unthinkable tonight I took the 3 dogs to the store tonight in a nice toasty truck. I removed the keys and used the remote starter to restart the truck as I went in, thinking the car would die if anyone tried to steal it. I wanted the heater going because it was 29 degrees out. All went well, and I drove home around 10 p.m. The car was so warm, I hadn't even bothered to put their coats on. As usual, Jack was yapping nonstop to be the first one out. Lately, I've been trying to teach him that won't work, so I lifted Eddie out of the truck and put him on the ground first. Jack was still yapping, so I closed the driver's side door and walked around to the passenger side and let Rusty out. Jack was still yapping. My plan was to go back around to the driver's side and let Jack out last. But, uncharacteristically, both Eddie and Rusty made a beeline for the neighbor's yard. I yelled to no avail. So I chased them down. Rusty followed me to the front door and I let him in the house and closed the door. Eddie was still over by the neighbor's yard, out of sight, so I chased him down, picked him up and carried him into the house. And forgot all about Jack. My wife called as I was walking in the door and further distracted me. Then I hopped on the computer for a few minutes. Shortly after that, my wife came home and we sat down to watch a show on TV. Rusty by my side on the floor. Eddie on my wife's lap. AND NO JACK, I finally noticed. He had been out in the cold truck for almost an hour when I raced out there barefoot and swung open the door. I don't know how, but the truck still felt semi-warm. Jack seemed plenty warm too. But he chewed me out big time for leaving him in the cold truck. Even though he wanted to be loose, I tucked him under a blanket most of the rest of the night, and he got all the treats he wanted. I think he knew I screwed up because every time I stopped with the treats, he yapped for more. The yapping didn't bother me so much this time. This is a horribly embarrassing story, but I figured it couldn't hurt to let people know it can happen. Well, at least to me.

| Ditto! He got lots of treats afterwards so I'm sure you've been forgiven.

Donating YT 10K Club Member | He was tellin' ya...don't forget me....don't forget me! I suspect hereafter Jack will be allowed out first. I'm glad he was safe...all well that ends well. PS I thought for a minute the unthinkable was taking ALL three to the store.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | You're being much harder on yourself than Jack would want you to be. He's thinking it all worked out pretty well with all of those treats - "what's staying in the truck a few extra minutes?"

| See what happens when you don't listen to your yorkies? I was just habit, if Jack always gets out first by the time you got the last one out you just went with the old habit. Now I know why yorkies are so obsessive - I can just hear my little one saying 'if you do it the same way all the time - it will always be the same'. That's one of the things I adore about yorkies - they obsess! |

| awwwwwww Jack has already forgotten!! I cant imagine 29 degrees! We had lunch outside the other day in the shade on the patio of a resturant. It must have been 75 outside and we were complaining we didnt bring sweaters!! When you go from 100 to 75 it is a big drop too!! But 29??? yikes. I would never go outside!! lololol. |
