Had I not asked and reminded him to lock and shut the gate twice dogs would have been kenneled.
He assured ne he could handle it, what if it had been one if my kids or a weirdo had wondered in?
I will NEVER TRUST this guy again!
Yes training should be mandatory! |
Thank you. Mindy was one of the smartest dogs ever but oh, boy, was she a doordarter and my sister particularly told the TV guy this. Said she would be out any open door in a flash so watch out for her just in case. Mindy was on the couch when she answered the phone - and then gone. I think the repair company did pay for the vet care and the TV repair as the policewoman stated in her report that the dog came running out along with the repairman as he rolled the TV set out on his special cart as she could see from a ways down the perpendicular street. My sister couldn't see or hear that car coming down the block that almost deadended into her street due to her macular degeneration so she called Mindy frantically, unable to see where she was and fearing she might dash further away! Later, she says, she could hear the car, she just didn't instantly identify what the noise was as the driver sped up & hit the siren as she was calling wildly for Mindy, unable to see well and just scared silly. As fate would have it, she turned her eyes a bit and got some peripheral vision just as Mindy dashed into the street and the car came along. I don't think she's ever really gotten over losing Mindy that way though she's got a lovely Schnauzer-Westie rescue a year old than Tibbe now. He's her absolute buddy! He is kind of a seeing eye dog in many ways. She's obsessively careful of him around visitors to the home and open doors!!! He's chipped and ID collared, too, just in case.
