Monday Nite Lock-up and Lock-out

All Monday was spent observing and nuturing our newest wiener-girl, Gretchen.  Today was an easier day, but we are still waiting for her to get used to the household...it's going to take time.  The boys have been accepting her into the pack and Fritz even began trying to play with her.

Around 8pm, I begin to start getting the dogs ready for bed.  Tonight I put all the crates in the sparebedroom, icluding their blankets & toys.  Fritz and Kraut are used to this routine....and it's the first time for Gretchen.  Everynight I have to grab Kraut and pick him up, like a kid...and tuck him into his crate.  Tonight was no different.  And Fritz runs for his crate with the mere mention of "bed".  I placed Kraut in first, Fritz jumps in and I placed Gretchen in her new safe home.

All was good...until Gretchen started to cry....I hadn't heard a peep out of her, until now!  So, back I go...in to quiet her down...when I turn the doorknob and realize that it was locked.  Opps.

So, I get the screw driver out, no luck.   I wiggle the hell out of the knob, no luck.  I get the paperclip out...and nope.  How hard can it be to use a paperclip?  Dammit.  I took a FB rest...and then went back to the paperclip...after about what seemed like and eternity...I popped the lock out.  YAY!

All was good at the House of Cakes, Goose and Weiners...once again.

I mastered the paperclip....fb'd that it was not "User" error...it was most definitely a lock malfunction (hey, it worked for Janet)...and the wieners were freed...well, almost free. lol

Life as a wiener momma......
