A honest mistake

I locked up the new dog, zipped my jacket and went out the front door, careful to lock the front door before heading to the store with husband.

After wandering through the supermarket, stopping in the organic food section for soup we decided to go. After a long ordeal with the self checkout, and a attendent who we kept buzzing but was distracted with flirting with some greasy looking kid, we headed towards the door.

We pulled through the open gate, parked the car and headed inside to our very excited dogs. After setting the bags down on the counter, we realized that the back door was left open the whole time we were gone! At first I thought "No big deal, the dogs wouldn't let anyone get in!" But then I realized the front gate was open and the dogs could have gotten out!

My babies could have gotten out, and headed to the busy street where the large trucks, the large trucks that can't stop if a small dog ran in front of them. It was an honest mistake, but an honest mistake that could have cost us our little furry family.
