Dogs....

Thursday we discovered that the side gate to the yard was broken. The latch lost a spring. Michael put the dogs out and was working in the house. I got a call.

“Hi, I have your dogs….. my address is….. I’d put them in my back yard, but I have a bunny…. come soon…. I’m almost out of bologna.”

I called Michael on his cell phone. He was already driving around looking for them. He brought them home. We wedged the gate.

We figured we'd call after Labor Day and have it fixed.

This morning on our way out, Jacob and I were letting the dogs in and noticed they were in the front yard. We gathered them up and left them inside.

I called Merry Maids.
Me “What time are you planning on coming?”
MM “After 1:00, but we could come earlier if you’d like”.
Me “No, I need to know when you’re coming so I can take care of the dogs”.

I went home at lunch with a bungee cord to secure the gate.

The maids had been there.
They let the dogs out.
The dogs got out. The dogs are MUDDY.
The maids let the dogs back in.
The house isn’t quite as clean as it was when they left.
I should send them the grooming bill too.

I called the Merry Maid office and vented my frustration.
