font-family:Arial'>So since everyone’s been talking about dogs locked in
cars, I have a story too. One day last week in very hot <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City
w:st="on">Houston</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">TX</st1:State></st1:place>,
I accidentally locked my keys, purse (which had my phone) and Oswald (my 4 year
old basset) in the car I was driving. Normally I drive my own car which
has manual locks, but that day I was driving my soon to be brother-in-law’s
Camry which has automatic locks. Oswald and I were going to said BIL’s
house to switch cars back. I got into the car and realized that the gas
light was on, and we wouldn’t be able to make it there without stopping
to get gas, so since there’s a gas station on the way to the freeway we
stopped there. I got out of the car with my wallet, leaving my purse
behind and the keys in the ignition so Oz could listen to the music while I was
temporarily out of the car pumping gas. I wasn’t even planning on
going into the gas station because I could just pay with my card at the pump.
As soon as I got out of the car and shut the door I realize that unlike my car,
you have to push a button inside the car to open the gas door, so I try to open
the door I just shut about 5 seconds before and it was locked, even though I
made sure to leave it unlocked when I shut it. So at that point, I
realize that all of my stuff and my poor dog is locked in the car. I
proceeded to go into the gas station, where they let me use their phone.
The only number I knew by heart was my fiancee’s so I called him and told
him that our dog was locked in the car with the keys. I don’t have
AAA, and didn’t know what to do. He called his brother, and found
out that there was no spare key. Then he got the insurance information
for his brother and fortunately they have roadside assistance, so about 20-30
minutes later both the Fiancee and the roadside assistance people got there and
got the car open. Fortunately we were in the shade and the car was still
cool inside when I locked the keys in from the air conditioning, but it was
still in the 90’s outside, so I was really nervous about what was going to
happen to Oz. I kept talking to him and standing out there with him, so
he knew he wasn’t alone. I was trying to get him to push the unlock
button or the window button, but he’s a lazy boy, so he was just sitting
there or laying there the whole time and would just look at me like I was crazy
for pointing at the buttons. I found out after the fact that every time
you leave your keys in the ignition, the doors automatically lock, that would
have probably been good to know before I left the keys in the ignition in the
first place. I’ve learned that anytime I ever want to leave the dog
in the car, even for a minute or two, the keys will come with me. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
