Door Dash!

[catnapper]

Ash went to put Nicki out tonight and Pouncer DASHED out the door! He nearly ran out to the street then disappeared. We could NOT find him... then once we finally spotted him, he ran again and hid. He would not return and Ash actually dashed under a bush to get him. She hurt her stomach in the process (NOT GOOD!) and I told her to ignore him if he's that mad because I can't have her hurt or bitten.... we'd get him in with food or something.

He's now in and growling at us. What on EARTH?!?!

One taste of freedom the other night and now my scaredy cat is a door dasher? We live so very close to a busy street.... he'd be smooshed in half a second if he ran into the road. I don't think I could live if ever that happened.... and since Ash saw him running, she started crying because she also knows that even at 9:30 at night that he'd be in serious trouble of being hit.

Naw-tee, naw-tee Pouncer!!!

I guess the only good news about this is that the house now knows he's turned into a door dasher so they will all be more aware when they open doors. I know how easy it is to get complacent when you don't have door dashers because I'm guilty of it myself.

Whew! Naw-tee Pouncer!!!

POUNCER!!!!!!!!!! BAD, BAD, BAD BOY!!!!!!

I really didn't think he would do that again being so scared the first time and Pouncer, don't you dare say that the "DUCK" made you do it. You can't blame it on him this time.

I'm glad he got back in the house safe and sound. Looks like you are going to have to keep a squirt bottle or something noisy that you can throw before you can get out the door.

Is Ash okay, Kim?

How many of his 9 lives has he used up already?

POUNCER! STOP THAT! Will you PLEASE grow up and learn the THINK things through before you act on those foolish impluses!!

POUNCER !!! You STOP that !!! *shakes finger*

But Kim, you have the PERFECT house to prevent door dashing, with just a little training all the hoomins can be taught what to do. You have an outside door and an inside door divided by your mud room. You guys are all going to have to learn to close the kitchen door BEFORE opening the outside door. A pain in the butt?? YES, but 100% worth the effort.

What a boy!! Don't do that again Pouncer, the outside world is far to dangerous for a boy like you!!

Aaaahhh....the decompression zone. We have one of those too. The good news is it works like a charm!
