Doggie in the Window
I was eating at a Sonic drive in when one of the waitresses came to my
jeep and asked if I knew of any locksmiths in the area (they asked me instead of one of
the 10 others because they know me pretty well there). A woman had locked herself out of
her car with her two little dogs inside and was looking to get them out as quickly as
possible because the car was still running and she was supposed to be at a meeting in 20
minutes.
These are two of the little peke-ish type yippy yappy
dogs. When her order was brought to the car, she stepped out instead of rolling the
window down so the mutts would not scare the server or have a chance to jump out. The
little beasts got all frantic that mommy was outside without them and yipped and yapped
and bounced off the window until they hit the door lock button. Doors locked. Windows
rolled up tight. Motor running. Keys inside. Dogs bouncing off every window getting more
frantic each minute.
The dogs were going nuts in the car. She was
on the phone to her husband who was also on the phone to Triple-A, who said it will be
at least an hour probably more before they could help. The car is a rental so her
husband did not have a spare key. I was talking to the woman and using my Treo to look
up local locksmiths to see if one of them could get there faster than the auto service
folks.
Then one of the yippy beasts bounced on the window down
button making an arm sized slot that the woman leaped at before it could go the other
way. Doors unlocked. Everybody laughing and happy.
