Zucchini part deux
W.R.O.N.G!
Instead, he shimmied the door up enough to get outside, but it slid back down after he was through the door, effectively locking himself outside in the 45 degree temperature. (I'm glad it wasn't raining) Fortunately, he stayed inside the fence today, and I will be putting him inside his crate, inside a closet, inside a locked room the next time I go anywhere.
Or, at least I'll make sure the doggie door is locked.
Whichever.
Stuff and Nonsense
Like Kelli, I was worried that it wouldn't be good, but here's a shot of Caleb going up for a shot.
Yesterday will not go down in history as my finest day. After hearing the news that my pastor is retiring, and trying to process the info, I heard some other devastating news. I ended up texting my sister, who was sick at home, something flippant about both pieces of info. Turns out she didn't know the second. I'm SUCH an idiot.
Then I got home, and we found Zaccheus running free in the house. We had put him in the playroom behind the gate before we left, so we figured he had somehow climbed over it or through it, or under it. Apparrently, he is quite the Houdini, which makes him, I suppose, the Zucchini. But then we realized that I had left the dog door open, and we already know he can get out of the fence. (the little brat!) So, either he climbed over the gate, and into the kitchen, or he got out of the fence, let himself inside, and closed the door behind himself, or he got out, a neighbor found him, and put him in our unlocked house while we were gone. I hope if the last one is true, which is the most likely, that they didn't do anything yucky while they were here.

Phriday Photo
I posted a picture of the fireplace Shawn and I built once upon a time, but look at the beauty we whipped up this time!
Of course, we didn't build it from scratch, like last time. We just took it out of the box and assembled it. But the fact that I got it for 50% off the original price makes up for that. Don't you think?
