The Amazing Ann

Today, I made a huge decision. I decided to leave our big dog inside with our little dog. Today is far from a beautiful day in the neighborhood and I couldn't bring myself to banish Ann to the backyard. So, I left her in the house without us for the first time ever. She never has accidents inside, but it is the fear of those possible accidents that has kept her outside. Big dog, big poop. Needless to say all morning at work I worried. Would I have a house left? Would I spend my lunch hour cursing my dog and cleaning up poop? I ran home for lunch, opened the door and . . . NO ANN. Huh? Where the heck could she be? I immediately started searching the house and calling her name. As I rounded the door into the kitchen, Ann came casually walking in from the back yard. YES, the door to my to the backyard was wide open!

I know the pregnancy makes you do crazy things, but I know that I closed my door this morning. Perhaps I forgot to lock it, but I swear I closed it. The only logical explanation is that the door did not fully close and Ann nudged it open with her nose. She learned this trick this weekend on our bathroom door. Yes, there is nothing like having your bathroom privacy interrupted by a large hound who just wants to be petted. Could she have let herself out to use the bathroom? Do we own the world's smartest dog or is it possible that crazy pregnant lady left her back door wide open? I will leave it to you to decide... but I am pulling for worlds smartest dog.
