Maggie waits by the door every evening for Daddy to come home. She lets me know by crying and carrying on. I wait for him to park and I open the door and she tears off to greet him.

Tonight it was time, she carried on, I waited BUT this time I didn't look out the side window first (driveway on side). She took off and we both saw that Dad wasn't there after all and she must have seen someone else. As she is running to the driveway the lady across the street pulls up at the corner. She has a sedan to. She drive down the road (we are 2houses from the corner) and as she's pulling into her driveway Maggie is racing over there thinking it's her dad. Maggie got all the way to the garage entrance just as the lady stopped the car. Any sooner and she would have rolled over Maggie (though Maggie would hopefully have stayed to the side, waiting for the driver to exit.). I was screaming and running. The lady never heard me or didn't care. She got out, never looked back and shut the garage.

I would have died and my hubby would have divorced me!

THAT lesson has been learned. NEVER let her out unless I KNOW why she was crying for sure.
