Did your dog ever get you in a situation that made you call for help? Well, that happened to me and my second dog, Spencer! At one time my office was in the basement. I went downstairs to work like I did every day and was working for awhile when I heard a loud bang. I went upstairs to investigate the problem. However, when I got to the top of the stairs, I could not open the door! The door knob would turn, but the door just would not open. Now Spencer was barking and trying to help. I knew just what the problem was!

My husband, Jim, bought a piece of plywood the day before and brought it into the house and leaned it up in the hallway. Spencer must have leaned against the plywood and it fell over and rested on the basement door. When I went to open the door, the plywood pushed up and under the door knob, locking me in!

While I had several hours of work to do in my office, I did not have access to the bathroom and considering this happened early in the day, it would have been a long day until Jim came home. I tried to get Spencer to move the plywood, but all he would do is bark and avoid contact with the plywood. If only Lassie would have been there to help! There was only one thing to do. Call Jim and have him leave work for a short time to rescue me!
