Plus she's a big chicken! lol We'd have to put up her food and water because every time anything hits her stomach she has to go outside. Guess that's what happens when we get older!<br /><br />Seriously, glad all worked out.

We have all been in situations like that, not funny at the time, but much much later it is. Ask our kids about the time we packed up at 4 am and flung a hitch piece in the forest, in the dark, in a thunderstorm. You might have to do a few 'staged ' pictures...anyway, glad things got fixed!

I literally learn something every day. I plan to buy a Class C so - as FroggiDonna said - I will have a couple more doors that will hopefully work! <br /><br />I am sure the doggies were thinking "WHAT???!!!" as they were being passed through the window! And then you let some STRANGER comes and crawl through the window into their home and make lots of noise!! Poor babies...<br /><br />Glad everything worked out well.

Your experience did encourage me to take a look at my locks. That and all my tools are in the storage area.
