The Dog that Wouldn’t Go In

This is so funny I had to tell you about it. My younger sister has a big furry dog that she thinks the world of but the dog is difficult to handle. Younger sister called older sister last night telling her she couldn’t get the dog in the house. Older sister had her pajamas on and was ready for bed, but she got dressed and drove the two miles to help get the dog in the house. The dog loves older sister to death. And this sister doesn’t even like dogs. Anyway, sister went driving up the road and the dog and younger sister were both on the porch. Older sister pulled in the yard and began talking to the dog in a loud voice, in an aside she told younger sister to open the door and go inside. Older sister said she kept talking to the dog and started running to the door with the dog right behind her. Older sister and the dog raced into the house and younger sister slammed the door shut. My sister called me today and we had a-good laugh. My phone didn’t cut out today so we were able to finish our conversation.

@RubyHawk - Those types of incidents are funny if they happen once. It it happens over and over again, it won't be so funny! LOL

So true! I don’t believe older sister would think it funny if it continued to happen. She’s used to running to the rescue though. She everyone’s go to lady.

That is hilarious. My cat Sid has become quite a character too. He comes and goes through the bathroom window. Today it was raining and he was hungrier than usual. So he would sit on the bathroom window ledge and meow loudly. I would shout at him to come on inside then he would come in just to eat and run out again and after a while the meowing would begin again

Animals can be hilarious. We used to have cats that would climb on the roof and meow at each other.

Glad older sister was able to help out younger sister! Hopefully it won't become a routine, or else older sister will have to go over there every night!

@RubyHawk aww, that’s so sad to hear Ruby. I really hope that poor dog wasn’t poisoned.

@RubyHawk Are they doing anything to try and protect their other dog?

@moffittjc They have another dog and they worry about that.

Where there's a will, there's a way. I'm glad your older sister got the dog in the house.

I'm sure younger sister appreciated it, other wise she would have been out chasing the dog all night.

@JudyEv My sister was broken hearted. The dog was her baby.

@RubyHawk It is awful losing pets. They become such integral parts of our lives.

@RubyHawk You said the dog loves the older sister, but, does the dog love the younger one? Does it happen all the time that the dog does not want to go inside?

@RubyHawk I am so so sorry. I hate when animals die and a vet cannot do anything to keep them alive.

Lol, pets can be so determined when they don't want to do something.

That is a tough one. If our big dog here would not come in, we certainly could not lift it, so would have to try something like your sister did.

She could never have lifted it. It was a good ruse.

Maybe older sister can tape herself talking to the dog and the dog would be confused enough to follow younger sister in when that happens again. Otherwise she may needed doggy headphones with a long cord to do the same thing, lol.

@RubyHawk that's unfortunate and sad to hear. Maybe something else was going on that no one knew about.

@MarshaMusselman Could have been. the vet thought she might have been poisoned but it was just a guess.

You didn't tell how the sister got out of the house without her canine pal following. That is a good story.

I don't know but I suppose younger sister kept her dog distracted.

@paigea The vet couldn't tell them why. He thought she might have gotten into poison.

The older sister did what was right; for her to go inside the house and the dog will follow her because the dog likes her too much!
