The past few years, Jerry and I have been getting Lucy and Rowdy shaved at Pet's Mart. The dogs looked ridiculous, but my sanity was worth them looking stupid. Each time we went it was a huge ordeal and not to mention very expensive. Enough was enough... I decided to buy my own dog shaver and do it myself. I got my very own shaver off Amazon's Deal of the Day. The shaver was usually $100, but I got it for $50. 
Rowdy was up first. He did pretty well considering it was Rowdy. Jerry was also able to help me with Rowdy. Sure, Rowdy might look like he has hives due to the lack of experience in shaving dogs, but who really cares! Here is a before and after:
Jerry had to leave to meet his friends for lunch. So that left me to shave Lucy. After I shaved Lucy, I decided it was time to nice glass of ice water. I tried to open the back door and it was LOCKED! Jerry had accidentally locked me out!
No biggie right... just use your cell phone to call him..... it's was inside on the kitchen table.
I know what your thinking.... Go out the gate and use your neighbors phone to call Jerry... Well guess what, there is a huge lock on the gates to our back yard.
Climb the fence?? I tried... way to high! Knowing me I would break my ankle.
Scream for help? I didn't scream, but I used a loud voice to see if any of my neighbors were around. No one in sight!
I even tried to get Rowdy, who was inside, to unlock the door. No luck.
I finally came to the conclusion that I was stuck until Jerry came home. What to do on this awesomely HOT summer afternoon? I picked up the backyard, which took a total 5 minutes. Next, I tied string around my rosemary bush, which took a total of 2 minutes. The rest of the time I just waited with Lucy while rowdy watched us from inside in the AC.
2 1/2 hours later, Jerry finally came home! His first words were, "You're still out there????"
I said, "Umm yah, you locked me out!"
Jerry: "No I didn't"
Carolyn: "Oh really, because I locked myself out??"
I could see the wheels turning and Jerry realized he accidentally locked me out. He felt really bad. It's just natural habit to shut the door and lock it behind you. I've done the same thing to him, except I was just in the other room.
It's just one of those things you can laugh about after a couple of hours or so. Jerry didn't mean to...I hope ;)
So, in the future, when I decide to shave the dogs, I will be sure to keep my phone outside with me!
Oh and here is a before and after of Lucy, in case you are interested:
Don't worry, I won't be quiting my day job!
