| I was so scared...I started to cry! My husband and I were suppose to get a new roof on Monday, but it started to rain so it was cancelled. When I spoke to the roofing company, I told them that I have two dogs at my house during the day, so I will need to know when they are coming so that I can make arrangements with the dogs. They said they would call us when the weather got better and they could work on the roof. Well..yesterday I called the roofing company to find out when they think they would we be coming. The manager said, Oh...they are almost done. I freaked out! I said, I have dogs at home, did you have the gates open? He said yes! I was so upset. First of all, they didn't tell me they were coming and then I am thinking the dogs are gone!!! I told him to hang up the phone with me and call those guys right away to make sure the two dogs are there. I was so stressed out, I dashed out of work to get home. Both dogs would have walked out of the yard if they could. I'll I could think about is Stomper being gone and my friend killing me because her dog would be gone too! THANK GOD THEY WERE OK! However, I could tell they were both under a lot of stress, probaby had barked all day at the people and the pounding on the roof. I was so angry. OK...I got it of my chest and feel better. Thanks for listening!

| What idiots! Your poor babies must have been scared to death, too. What makes home repair people think they can just do whatever they want? I've had crazy stories too. We had to have a side porch removed. Like you, asked when they would be coming. Well, they just showed up one day and started jack hammering and on that wall I had two shelves of Prescious Moments, all of them fell and most of them broke. And the worst part was, the guy wouldn't even pay for the damage because I couldn't prove it was from his jack hammering! Did he think I just saved up broken pieces until I could find someone to blame them on? That whold job was nightmare from day one. I'm just so glad your dogs didn't run away. What a horrible day!

| People do not have any respect! I cant believe that they just went and started working on your house without even letting you know! I would have been mad! And Terri I cant believe your story either! I cant believe that they wouldnt pay for the damage! I mean its obvious what happened to your figurines!

| Well you can bet if they had gotten bitten it would have been your fault, even though you had told them about the dogs. |

| What a bunch of unprofessional idiots. Sorry you had to go through that Kim. I know how much you love that cute little Stompie boy. He is too cute not to worry about and Coco misses him. Glad that he and his friend were safe and ok at home. I would have given them a piece of my mind.

| I would have been sooo ticked off too...what a bunch if idiots. Especially since you SPECIFICALLY told them you had to make arrangements for your dogs. UGH! I would demand them give a percentage off the total amount of the roof for your stress they caused and for the dogs stess! Well. I am glad they were all safe and sound! Where were they when you got home???

The company did feel pretty bad about it. I did tell him I didn't have a chance to even look at the new roof. My only focus was on the dogs.

| Thank goodness everything is okay. The funny thing is how often does someone actually show up to do a job when they are suppose to or before. I am very glad they are safe.

| Bloody idiots! A few years back my window cleaner climbed over my garage (he was told to only do front if i wasnt in) to clean back windows. He climbed over and then opened back gate for his colleague to come thru, they went to clean windows and my lab Jake walked out. .....sometime later as i put the key in my front door the phone was ringing, i answered it and a police man asked had i lost a dog, i said 'no'. Policeman said 'well i have a dog here and your phone number on collar' I went to look and saw he was gone i went to colect him and got a dressing down from policeman about being responsible dog owner etc That night window cleaner came to collect his money the cheek of it! He apologised..big deal! Why are people so stupid? They mustn't own a dog cause any dog owner would be more careful.
