Thanks to all of you for your enlightened comments. Apparently we have an English Major amongst us, so I'll try not to offend him again. . . . .

Anyway, King was inside the house. . . .all day - from 8:30 until I arrived home about 3:45. IF what his vet said about the time frame being 6 hrs at the max and probably more likely 2 hrs, that meant it occured about 1. So you see how we reached our conclusion. Or as I previously stated "the obvious assumption" HA HA HA sorry, I had to do it.

I did like the idea of a nail gun. But since he was inside. . . . .

And yes, I did walk our yard,. We live in the Keys, ergo, we have palm trees. Oh my, I'll catch heck for that too won't I?

Our house is small and no angles.

Anyway, our house is locked up tight. My husband and I have both locked outselves out already. I know, I know, call us stupid but what can I say? Old habits are hard to break.

Again, thanks for the concern and thoughts. Keep them coming.

Kathrine and King the Wonderful Corgi.
