Let me tell you how my week started last week. I actually had a FULL weekend off so I started Monday ready to have a good week. Ellie Mae came in first, when I got her in and settled little Gizmo pulled up. I was chit chatting for 2 minutes MAYBE and Gizmo and I walk back up to the door…. It’s LOCKED. Ellie Mae has locked me out of the house 🤦🏼♀️. I’m still holding a tiny poodle so I try for my car LOCKED, hit the fancy buttons on the door the keys are too far away, no use. While still holding little Gizmo I squeeze my arm through my big gate enough I can wiggle it open. The second I got the gate open little Gizmo slips out of his harness and takes off😩. Thank GOD he made one little loop around the tree and came back towards the carport where I blocked him in. He’s tiny and scared there’s no way I’ll catch him. It’s also MONDAY school traffic zooming by so my only concern is we stay as far away from the road as possible. THANKFULLY this all happened within 3 minutes so his mommy was right down the road and gladly came back to help me! I was really wishing I just had a plain ole office job in that moment but it is all okay! Everyone went home beautiful, safe, and happy! I can laugh about it now but I swear in that moment I thought I was going to have a stroke🥴
