12string Posted April 1, 2022 Share #1 Posted April 1, 2022 I got up this morning, saw the dog wandering around on the deck outside. My wife was still prepping for taking the dog for a walk. Odd. Went downstairs, the door was locked! Apparently, I'm getting old and forgetful, and let her out last night, but never let her back in! So the rest of the question is, did she care? No "let me in!" barking at all, and she does that when she's ready to come in. She does try to stay out all night when we camp. But, it was raining, windy, not too cold. Again, doesn't usually bother her. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there were places to get out of the rain if she wanted to. It's all good, when I let her in this morning, I said "April Fools!" That fixes everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerrySTL ★ Posted April 1, 2022 Share #8 Posted April 1, 2022 Two words: Doggie Door (AKA Cat Flap). Our oogs and kats have always had one. Kind of funny when we take them to someone else's house and they would start looking for the way ouside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have teetotaled since March 2. 40 days would be around April 10. Easter is April 17. We’re leaving on vacation April 14th, so was planning to finish my deprivation then. Sweets, too.

Contrary to popular belief, Lent isn't 40 calendar days. It's changed over time as Ash Wednesday has moved around (not always Wednesday) It ends with the Easter vigil, the night before Easter Sunday. People go through all kinds of gyrations to fit 40 days of Lent into that calendar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
