Emergency, 911!
My fiancé was talking on the phone as she washed the dishes yesterday. After the conversation was finished, she placed the phone–a cordless–on the floor rather than stop what she was doing and walk it into the living room where the base is located.
About 30 minutes later, the doorbell began ringing insistently. As she does not like to answer the door when she is alone and not expecting company, she went to the window to see if it could be determined just who the unexpected caller might be. Much to her shock, there was a police cruiser parked out front!
She ran to the door, snatched up the dog, who was barking furiously, and opened it.
The officer stated our address and asked, “You called?”
“No,” she replied, looking at the still yapping canine, “but my dog did.”
The policeman cracked up with laughter.
