Not home...nice doggy

[Patrick Greene]

That reminds me of a scary dog story of my own.  Customer gave me directions
to their home, but neglected to tell me that the dobermans roamed loose.  I
come waltzing up the walk and suddenly I am surrounded by three growling and
snarling dobermans. I pulled out my cell phone and called the customer and
he came out and called the dogs.  He said "those dogs are usually really
sweet and wouldn't hurt anybody...

I had a three o'clock appointment, and I arrived about ten minutes early.  I
saw the front door was open through a glass storm door.  Standing at the
door, I noticed the storm door had not completely closed and latched.
Naturally assuming the client was home, I rang the doorbell.  Bounding into
the foyer was a very large dog baring the most vicious set of teeth I have
ever seen that close up.  The dog continued barking, and it dawned on me,
that if it had jumped on the door (as my dachunds would've done) it would be
out and on top of me before I could get a few steps.  I eased slowly back to
my car, and at three the client arrived.  She was just as puzzled as I, why
the door was open.  She could only imagine her son left in a hurry and
forgot to close it.  I told her she didn't need to worry with that dog in
the house.  Naturally she said it wouldn't hurt anybody.
