The Beagle Trap
Oct. 5th, 2005 12:37 pmThat's what mymom calls it. I have some OTHER NAMES I thought of. I can't write them here.
I already explained to mymom that I understand the rule about not going out the open door. And If the baby gate is latched, I understand that. But if there are doors closed but not latched, THEN I CAN GO OUT.
That's just the way it is.
Mymom has different doors for different weather. Yesterday was WINDY. It was SO WINDY that it blew mymom around sometimes. I stayed behind the bushes when I was outside and I was fine. Mymom should try that. But when it's WINDY, mymom can't prop the screen door open. She does that a lot because it doesn't latch anyway. Yesterday she let it be closed, but not latched because it won't. THAT MEANS I CAN GO OUT.
I never get to be out for very long before I hear her calling me, though. Yesterday she called very LOUD because of the WIND and she seemed upset. I don't get that. I have lots to SNIFF right here near the house, so I don't go far.
Yesterday evening I decided to GO OUT AGAIN.
BAWH! There was an exercise pen on the other side of the door! And when I moved it, mymom heard me and she came outside and SCOLDED ME.
bawh.
This morning the screen door was closed and not latched so THAT STILL MEANS I CAN GO OUT. And I did. But it's not windy and mymom heard the noise of the door when I went through and that ex-pen was STILL THERE. She came out and SCOLDED ME. It was worse than last time because I remembered the time before.
*woe*
*slink*
*hunch*
But after she SCOLDS me, mymom always gives me something to do that I can be proud of and then we get all excited about ME BEING GOOD.
Now I have to think about that Beagle Trap for a while. I think mymom is the one breaking the rule, but I might not be able to convince her. She can be STUBBORN sometimes.
