Major facepalm last night.

We have been having trouble getting our 5 year old son to close the door behind him when he walks through the door. Because of this, our dog (highly energetic Lab) has gotten out multiple times and has been running around the neighborhood unsupervised because nobody knew she was outside. She knows her yard pretty well and respects it when we are out there but doesn’t always do so well when unsupervised especially when there are people she sees and wants attention. The dog is harmless per say and looking back I should of been more proactive in making sure she stays in the yard even when not supervised.

To date, its been no real problem other than bothering the neighbors a little bit and really this hasn’t caused any problem. Although we have been telling our son he needs to close that door over and over.

Well last night that all changed. The dog got out and nobody knew it. Turns out the neighbor was backing out of his driveway in his almost new GMC Denali SUV. She ran over to get some attention from him and jumped up on his SUV and this happened.





Can’t say I blame him for being pissed. And he (was) is.


Sucks when you don’t even know the dog is outside.

I will admit if I was the neighbor I would not care your your family and your damn dog. That being said what can you do? Kids and dogs stuff happens. All you can do is apologize and cover the expenses.

 

nothing a little buffing compound wont fix

 

I know nothing about body work. Will they be able to buff that out or are we talking re-painting

 

One of the best inventions ever, invisible electric dog fence.

 

That sucks...do I see a pouting/in trouble kid in the reflection?

 

That'll buff out no problem.

 

That will buff out. The hard part is to be aware of your dogs location at all times. Possibly some sort of fence, actual or invisible.

 

Yes. yes you do.

 

Unless there is bare metal it can be fixed pretty easy, probably only scratched the clear coat

 

Yeah, we have some stuff to figure out

You and this dog running wild situation reminds me of the Badgers playing Bama... Wisconsinites not taking care of their business.

Don't be a Badger Brad.

 

Just get a wireless dog fence. If you live in the city you should really have one

Yep looks to be clear coat scratches, shouldn't take much.

 

I am a product of my own environment.

 

You could also add something to that door so it will come closed even if the boy doesn't pull er tight. I understand he needs to learn TRUST ME, however its probably a cheaper alternative than installing and elec fence or any fence for that matter and frankly I have had very poor luck with those systems.

 

The patio door would be tough.

 

Is it a sliding door?

 

Yes..
