/start rant

So Fridays are always busy nights at my house and I'm always careful to put Frankie in my room because I know at some point in time the front door will be left open. Frankie has a very single track mind when it comes to open doors: If open sneak through, check to make sure no one noticed, and then run like crazy. She has done this since she was about 8 weeks old.

So tonight was a little worse because one of the roommates is in a band and he was playing a show tonight, so everyone was over and celebrated more than normal. I gave everyone the lecture about leaving doors open and that no one should touch my door at all, and everyone should check the front door behind them.

Guess who didn't close my door all the way AND held the front door open while talking? Me. Frankie did her ninja sneak, got out of arm range, and ran. I took off after her and everyone in the house cleared out and formed search groups with the DDs in cars and the rest on foot or bikes. I lost sight of her while getting more people to help and never did catch up to her again. I was able to call another roommate and let him know where she tries to go on our walks. Luckily he was able to get her near the spot that I guessed she would go to.

So everyone's calmed down, Frankie is in her crate as happy as can be, and I have ice on my knee from aggravating an old injury. All in all a terrible night.

Thanks for letting me vent.
