It is very frustrating when people just don't get it. Not to steal the thread from you but try living with 6 retired racing greyhounds. They go from 0 to 45 in THREE STRIDES. I had some people here cleaning the carpet and they were inside and they went out---they were told about the dogs...well they left the door wide open and the next thing I knew I had two out trying to go with them in the van...thank God..they went to go bye bye..
I have taken to putting an x-pen to block the door way if I have anyone new come over..it is an art to get in with them all wanting attention. I also have chained and padlocked all 7 gates.
As much as you would hate to use the x-pen: how would you like to look for the precious baby. I understand that with the type of dogs I have...I probably would never see mine again if they got out..Max due to size and the Greys because of the open country...and the speed that they run..
So just take the extra steps to protect...it is so worth it. Do it with a smile and tell them that your neurotic!!
