Mom and DOD had to go back across the Border a couple of days ago to get their last bits and pieces of teeth. As usual they left Me and Lacey behind. Okay they left treats and water and treats and Mom took us for a long walk before they left...but there we were...home alone.
So, Luis the Mexican fellow who looks after our house in the summer came by and he had stuff to drop off for DOD....and he has a key to our house ...so he opened the door and put said stuff in our garage.
What he did NOT see was Lacey behind him in the garage and he came out and locked her in!!!! YUP, he did!
Now anyone who knows Lacey knows she suffers from separation anxiety in the worst way. And when she is stressed she chews up whatever she can find. I barked and barked and told her not to worry ...I told her I was in the next room and that Mom and DOD would be back VERY soon. I told her to go to sleep.
She didnt listen.
I barked so much that the neighbours came over to see if I was okay. They let me out to pee and then I raced back in and barked at the kitchen door to the garage.....they followed me to the door but they don't understand Dog and they thought Lacey was hiding somewhere (which she often does) and they left! ....EEK!
By this time Lacey had torn up all of our full bags of dried dog food...over fifty pounds ...(Mom likes to prepare for all catastrophes) and spread it evenly around the garage. She topped the food off with Mom's laundry and some Christmas decorations she found behind the hamper. And then she set about trying to tunnel through the door!
I heard the garage door open open. I heard Mom say What The Hell!. I heard Dad say way worse than that!
Lacey was SOOOOO glad to see them....
They sort of slid into the kitchen on the dry food. I was happy to see them too. Mom kept saying, 'Robbie what happened'.?
Well now you know the whole story.

Inka at first thought being locked up with 50 pounds of food might be all right--but then she remembered her own separation anxiety. Blue muttered that he'd probably have a heart attack. Poor Lacey--humans can be a bit dense sometimes. But they mean well--and sometimes sh-- happens. Milk the guilt, guys!
