I was peacefully minding my own business, while IM'ing Nathan and talking to my mom on her cell phone, relaying the information that I was getting from Nathan (yes, you read that right). Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
Not a biggie. I don't answer the door when I'm home alone, and at that moment I was very much so home alone. I did take the time to alert my mom that someone was at the door, and told her that I wouldn't be responding. I peeked out Jay's window, and watched out for whoever-it-was to leave. After about 30 seconds with no one leaving, I got a little alarmed. Just about at that moment, our doorbell rang again. Twice in a row. I updated my mom as to the situation, and kept looking out the window. I saw a man's figure go walking towards our side gate. Now I was really starting to get apprehensive. I told my mom, "Whoever it is, is walking towards our gate."
Another 30 seconds passed.
All at once I heard our front door open.
Not good. My heart started hammering. The front door is open. Oh, no!
About when I was making plans to escape through Jay's window, I heard a shout. "Neighbor! Neighbor!" It was rather urgent, and belonged to a man who lived across the street. The shout was coming from...inside my entryway. I came running.
"Your...dog..." he was out of breath, "She....ran away....and I...tried to catch her...."
Staring at him, still recovering from my let's-kill-the-intruders mode, I neatly dropped my cell phone into its case, thanked him briefly, and lit out running down the street. In my socks, of course. Screaming, "DAISY! DAISY!"
I had run about a 1/4 mile, when I saw a speck way out in the distance. I summoned up all of my vocal abilities and yelled, "DAISY!"
She turned around, saw me, and came bounding towards me.
Nicole Hearn The Amazing, eh? I stay calm amidst a man opening my front door, and then I chase a dog in my socks. And bring her home safely.
With these abilities, I should run for public office!
