| Patty, surveying his snowy domain |
When done collecting old bowls and empty water jug, I walked back up front, up the steps, and...the front door was LOCKED! I tried again, but nope. Of course I did not have my house keys on me; I never do when The Hubby is inside, and I'm just going out for The 'O' Cats. I do not lock the door behind me, either.
I knocked on the door, hard. I knocked on the window too. I stood and waited. No sound of someone running to the front door! I leaned on the door bell. A brief wait again, and then The Hubby unlocked and opened the door for me.
He said...this is the funny part...ha ha ha (dripping with sarcasm), "why are the cats acting so weird?" "Gosh, dear, maybe all of the banging and bell ringing as I was LOCKED OUT freaked them out! Um, why did you lock the door?" He thought I was inside, and he assumed that he'd mistakenly left the door unlocked when he went out to put the garbage out for collection day.
But I was outside, in the cold, and what is a person to think when the only other person in the house locks the door on them? It's obvious that the kitties weren't the only ones with weird behavior!
I'm glad he finally came to let you in the house! :-) You need to teach the inside kitties how to unlock the door for you.
ReplyDeleteYikes! I would be continually ringing the doorbell until hubby let me in!
ReplyDeleteWow, just too cold to be locked outside.
ReplyDeleteNow you know what it's like to be an outside cat. :)
ReplyDeleteWe are glad you did not freeze.
ReplyDeleteThe Island Cats have a good point.

Thank goodness you got back in though!!!! catchatwithcarenandcody
ReplyDeleteBrrr! My husband and I occasionally lock each other out when we lose track of who's gone in/out. If you were locked out much longer, I'm sure Patty could have helped keep you warm.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cold day for that to happen. I always have my keys with me when I go outside because my niece used to lock me out when she was little so I started taking them with me and still do even though she is 28 and hasn't lived here in years.
ReplyDeleteAww... that's not good! But Mum says the snow looks nice and she wishes we had some in London. England is too mild these days.

Sounds cold! I must admit I've locked the door out of habit when there's still someone else to come in!
ReplyDeleteAwwwww.....and brrrrrrr. I am just so glad someone was there to open the door! Bless your heart.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have dogs any more but my Dad would be in the dog house!
ReplyDeleteThat happens around here every once in a while and no, Mom is not at all happy about it happening either. Stay toasty, friends!
ReplyDeleteGuess you need a sign to hang on the door when you're outside so hubby doesn't lock you out again. Must have been a bit scary wondering if you'd be an icicle before you were able to thaw out.
ReplyDeleteOh my! I'm glad your husband opened the door before you got frozen :-)
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that was one chilling tale!!

Hugs madi and mom
Oh my! Glad you weren't stuck out there for too long!
ReplyDeleteYikes! Our mom locked herself out inside the garage when she first moved here and she had to destroy the new lockset to get back in. And come to find out, a piece of metal did the trick and the destruction of the set was unnecessary. Oh well, live and learn. Or sometimes just live. :O
ReplyDeleteI hate when you get locked out of your home, especially when it's that cold. Luckily your husband was there to save the day. The cats on you blog are really cute, even though I am a dog person. Cats are way easier to take care of and you do not have to walk them.
