Oh my gosh! We NEVER us our front door as we go thru the garage all the time. Well, we have chem lawn and they always leave the paperwork hanging off the front door. Hubby went to retrieve the bill the other night (at about 10:00 pm) and I was in the kitchen on the other side of the house and all of a sudden I hear him yelling. Maggie May had dashed out the front door and he didn't see her until she was down the front stairs and on the light colored cement walkway! Thank goodness!
He said the door was just about closed when he happened to look out for whatever reason and saw her. Now we live in an area surrounded by woods and water with tons of wildlife. There are only 14 homes so there is basically no lights in the neighborhood unless someone has their porch lights on. Whew! We probably would not have noticed she was gone for at least a 1/2 hour at least!
That was really, really scary. She is just so quick and hyper that sometimes you don't even see her run by you. I am just so glad something made hubby look out the door before he shut it totally! Needless to say she got a good stern talking to and a lot of hugs and kisses.
So watch your babies or at least know where they are whenever you open any doors!
