OMG. so i was about to take teacake to the park. i strapped him in, threw my purse in the car, walked around to the driver's side.. and teacake suddenly decides to press the LOCK ALL THE DOORS BUTTON. OMG. he locked himself into the car. with my keys inside the car. holy fucking crap. and my phone inside the car. last time i ever throw my purse in there with him. so i freaked out and ran around to all my neighbour's apartments till i found someone that was home, stole their cellphone, called antimony at work, and made her scoot back (she has an extra set of all my keys). then i stood there next to the car watching him for any signs of getting overheated (today was warm but not overly hot and i was parked in the shade.. and italian greyhounds, since they're so skinny, tend to not really overheat.. but mind you, i was totally prepared to grab a rock and smash out my own car's window if he looked like he was in any sort of trouble). luckily he mostly just sat there with a happy "wtf why aren't we going anywhere, mom?" look on his face. and then antimony got there and unlocked my car and we had a oh-thank-god cigarette. BAD DOG. luckily though, because of the scooters, we were able to get him out safely without risking breaking a window. now he's upset cos i didn't have enough time to take him to the park after that fiasco.. which, honestly, i would have still had time (he was only trapped for 15-20 minutes) except that just as we're finishing our cigarettes, this big dog with no collar or leash comes over.... sigh.

so i grabbed my spare leash outta the now-unlocked car and got him so he wouldn't get hit in the street, and then. wow. so i've got another dog. and of course antimony had to run back to work, so i just went around knocking on random doors until someone told me she knew whose dog it was, and then i walked him to his house where his stupidass owner had his front door wide open and only being blocked by a crappy baby gate that the dog had obviously just pushed over. the owner thanked me profusely but god damnit i get so mad when people are that stupid. at LEAST put a fucking collar and tag on your dog, if you can't properly contain it. if i hadn't found someone who knew the dog, i would've had to call animal control and who knows what would have happened then. ugh. this is the second time now that i've found a stray big dog running around without proper tags. wtf am i supposed to do.

even my indoor cats have collars and tags just IN CASE they slip out the door. ugh. people.
