This is one of those stories where I would love to tell you I graciously jumped over an 8ft fence, elegantly leaped through a tiny window, fought off two Pit Bulls and generously opened the doors for the others to come in the house!
My husband and I enjoyed a yummy pizza dinner with a wonderful family friend. While leaving the restaurant our friend noticed that she had forgotten her house key…at home.
While driving back to the house we were thinking of best ways to get into the house. She wanted to call locksmith, while my husband had the brilliant idea the bathroom window might be slightly open.
Great idea but we still had to overcome an 8ft fence.
During one of my dog park visits I learned how to jump an 8ft fence quickly (don’t ask why and how). Therefore I was the chosen one to check if the window was open.
There was another minor detail, our friend’s two not so small, hyper and ready-to-defend-their-home Pit Bulls. My friend assured me the door separating the bathroom from the living room area was closed and locked. Oh LORD!
They are sweet dogs but you never know how dogs will react when someone tries to climb through a window!
With determination on my face I got out of the car, ready to leap over the fence. It wasn’t quite as easy as I had hoped. My new skinny, super tight jeans didn’t make the job easier. Our friend came to support me. With support I mean literally support. I had to take laughing breaks. The idea alone hanging on someone’s fence with too tight jeans and someone else pushing my rear end just cracked me up.
Having taken the first hurdle the next one was waiting around the corner. Her yard was dark it was like entering a black hole. What kind of freaked me out was the idea of the dogs getting in the yard, trying to eat me. (Stay positive)
I found the window and it was slightly open, indeed but 8 ft in the air with a 2ft x 2ft opening. Luckily a trashcan was nearby which I used to climb up to the window.
My first leg made it through the window but again due to my tight jeans I wasn’t able to get the second one through. Not to fond of the idea going head in first I had no other choice. Now, imagine it was pitch black and I had never been in her bathroom before. I had another burst of laughter while hanging head down into her bathroom and the rest of me on the outside of the house. Kind of like a potato sack that doesn’t fit through an opening.
The dogs were just going crazy! I swear they were ready to eat me (at least it sounded like it). ;)
It wasn’t pretty and it took me a while but I made it through the window without harming myself nor destroying the bathroom. The rest is history. I let my friend in through the side door and let her open the door to the living room while I politely walked to the front door and rang the bell to be let in ;)
I don’t know what surprised me more that I was able to actually get through the window or that no one of the neighbors got alarmed by all the barking and commotion! Life’s mysteries!
Happy Holidays!
